Population and community ecology of the red alga Rhodomela larix (Turner) C. Agardh, on the central Oregon coast

Creator:: D'Antonio, Carla Marie, 1956-
Abstract:: Aspects of the life history and ecology of the intertidal turf-forming alga Rhodomela larix (Turner) C. Agardh were examined over a two year period at several sites on the Oregon coast. Rhodomela occurred over a broad tidal range and exhibited different growth and morphology characteristics with respect to tidal height....

The biology of a shallow-water methane vent

Creator:: Juhl, Andrew R.
Abstract:: In September of 1989, the site of an active seafloor methane vent was confirmed approximately 20 km off the coast of Oregon in shelf waters 135 m deep. The location of the vent had been described to Oregon State University oceanographers by a local commercial fisherman. Preliminary observations in 1989...

Movement Patterns of Rockfishes at the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve, Oregon

Creator:: Calvanese, Thomas P.
Abstract:: The effects of Marine protected areas (MPAs) on adult fish populations depend on the degree of protection provided, which is partly a function of MPA size and the spatial extent of fish movements. The Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve (RRMR) and MPA, located on the south coast of Oregon near Port...

Marine reserves in The Bahamas and Ecuador : a scientific and socioeconomic perspective

Creator:: Lamb, Robert W.
Abstract:: Marine reserves are known to directly replenish overfished species. However, the community-wide effects of reserves are less clear. I examined the community of coralreef fishes in a large, fully protected marine reserve in The Bahamas: the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. Visual-transect surveys provided estimates and comparisons of the...

Harlequin duck demography during winter in Prince William Sound, Alaska : effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill

Creator:: Esler, Daniel
Abstract:: The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill was a major perturbation of nearshore habitats of Prince William Sound, a wintering area for harlequin ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus). This research was designed to evaluate harlequin duck population recovery from the oil spill from 1995 to 1998, using a demographic approach to assess both...

Population and production ecology of Lipsothrix spp. (Diptera:Tipulidae)

Creator:: Dudley, Thomas L.
Abstract:: Craneflies of the genus Lipsothrix inhabit decomposing wood in streams. The life cycles and ecological relationships of L. nigrilinea (Doane) and L. fenderi Alexander were investigated to determine how they exploit and respond to the wood habitat and their role in degradation of woody debris in western Oregon. Surveys of...

Amphibian communities and climate change : Where ecological processes meet evolutionary interactions

Creator:: Thurman, Lindsey L.
Abstract:: Forecasts of the impacts of climate change have traditionally focused on individual species and their phenotypes, phenology, or distribution. However, shifts in species distributions and the resulting reorganization of community composition represent an important violation to the assumption of species acting in isolation. Whereas species may respond individualistically to climate...

Coral-reef fishes : insights into larval dispersal and invasion ecology

Creator:: Pusack, Timothy J.
Abstract:: Because many coral-reef fishes are observable in situ, are amenable to transplantation, have small home ranges and short generation times, they provide a excellent system to investigate many topics within general ecology, fisheries biology, and conservation biology. The primary goal of this dissertation was to use the coral-reef fishes system...

Spatial and temporal variations in respiration rates and hypoxia on the Oregon shelf

Creator:: Wolf, Megan J.
Abstract:: Inner shelf hypoxia has occurred along the Oregon coast between the latitudes 44ºN and 45ºN since 2002 with increasing duration and intensity, posing a threat to marine life. The objective of this research was to determine whether variation in respiration rate explains spatial and temporal variation in hypoxia. Dissolved oxygen...
