Investigating Demographic and Evolutionary Factors Important for Fish Reintroduction

Creator:: Sard, Nicholas M.
Abstract:: Reintroduction programs are used to re-establish species back into their historical habitat. Most reintroduction programs have failed and few papers have evaluated factors that may be important to Pacific salmon. The 158 meter tall Cougar Dam has blocked Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from accessing 40 kilometers of historical spawning and...

Patterns of natural selection and demography in coastal Oregon coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) populations : evidence from neutral and olfactory receptor gene-linked markers

Creator:: Johnson, Marc Aaron
Abstract:: For Pacific salmon, the evolution of local adaptations depends upon the species' propensity to return, or "home", to natal streams at time of reproduction. Pacific salmon use olfactory cues to guide homing behavior, yet little is known about the genetics of olfaction in salmon. In this study, I use putatively...

Genomics of migration : from marine distributions of salmonids to mechanisms of olfactory and magnetic cue perception for natal homing

Creator:: Bellinger, M. Renee
Abstract:: Substantial scientific investment has been directed towards understanding factors that influence distribution patterns and animals' remarkable ability for precise orientation and navigation, yet fundamental gaps in our knowledge remain. In my dissertation, I applied emerging genetic technologies to conduct a top-down and bottom-up investigation of animal movement and cue perception....

Using parasite community data and population genetics for assessing Pacific sardine (Sardinops sagax) population structure along the west coast of North America

Creator:: Baldwin, Rebecca E. B.
Abstract:: Pacific sardines (Sardinops sagax) are an economically and ecologically important forage fish which transfer energy from planktonic primary producers and secondary consumers to upper trophic predators. Previous genetics studies of Pacific sardine suggested a panmictic population with a shallow genetic structure. However, more than one subpopulation within the Central California...

An investigation into the genetic basis of migration timing in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen G.
Abstract:: The genetic basis of adaptation is complex as many fitness-related traits are quantitative and likely influenced by multiple genes with variable effects across different selective environments. One important adaptation for anadromous Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is the time at which individuals return to natal breeding sites within a reproductive season....

Riverscape genetics of Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Chinook salmon) in Siletz River, OR

Creator:: Davis, Chanté D.
Abstract:: Traditional analysis in population genetics evaluates differences among groups of individuals and, in some cases, considers the effects of distance or potential barriers to gene flow. However, many forces may shape genetic variation of organisms in riverine systems. Similarly complex research linking habitat heterogeneity and configuration to genetic structure has...

Population Differentiation in two Northeastern Pacific Marine Species

Creator:: Curran, Lorne Sullivan
Abstract:: Population genetic techniques are now preeminent in differentiating wild populations. Natural resource managers rely on them in their efforts to restore viable populations of fish and wildlife. Overfishing adversely impacted Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) on the U.S. West Coast in the late 20th century. Management actions included shutting down the...

Spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes

Creator:: Gomez-Uchida, Daniel
Abstract:: Pacific rockfishes (genus Sebastes) have attracted wide scientific and public interest from an evolutionary, fishery and conservation standpoints. This dissertation addresses several hypotheses involving spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes, darkblotched (S. crameri) and canary rockfish (S. pinniger), using statistical analyses of genetic variation within...

Assessing the feasibility of a sea otter reintroduction to Oregon through a coupled natural-human lens

Creator:: Curran, Lorne S., Kone, Dominique V., and Wickizer, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Sea otters fulfill a keystone role in several Northeastern Pacific nearshore ecosystems. However, their influence has been absent in Oregon coastal waters since their extirpation in the 19th and early 20th century. Interest has been growing for a translocation attempt to reintroduce sea otters to Oregon from one or more...
