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...

Infectious diseases of the Felidae : parasite communities from miniature to massive

Creator:: Broughton, Heather M.
Abstract:: Direct anthropogenic stressors have caused drastic declines in wildlife populations over the past two centuries. In the face of these threats, spillover of infectious disease from domestic animals and livestock into wildlife, and novel interactions between parasites and pathogens within wildlife communities, have further suppressed already vulnerable populations. As management...

Cannibalism in larvae of the long-toed salamander, Ambystoma macrodactylum

Creator:: Wildy, Erica Lynn
Abstract:: Predator-prey interactions have historically been studied to explain patterns of organization observed in populations and communities. They have also been important in understanding the evolution of antipredator responses in prey and counterstrategies in predators. Despite the breadth of knowledge that exists for heterospecific interactions, relatively few studies have investigated the...

Early succession in beds of the red alga, Iridaea cornucopiae Post. & Rupr. (Gigartinaceae) : alternate pathways

Creator:: Olson, Annette M.
Abstract:: Multiple successional sequences have been observed following disturbance in communities on marine hard substrata. Observations of the turf-forming alga, Iridaea cornucopiae Post. & Rupr. (Gigartinaceae), suggest that I. cornucopiae may assume its dominance by its ability to vegetatively pre-empt space. High limpet densities in the natural community, suggest that I....

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...

The effects of pathogens, UV-B radiation, and introduced species on amphibians in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Kiesecker, Joseph Michael
Abstract:: I examined two amphibian communities to assess factors that may impact amphibian biodiversity. The results suggest that the potential factors which influence the maintenance of amphibian biodiversity are multi-faceted and thus, attempts to understand these factors must reflect these complexities. I investigated factors that influenced the susceptibility of western toad...

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...

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...
