Benthic biological invasions in two temperate estuaries and their effects on trophic relations of native fish and community stability

Creator:: Castillo, Gonzalo C.
Abstract:: The extent of biological invasions, their role on the feeding of native fishes and their impact on community stability were investigated in Alsea Bay and Yaquina Bay, two estuaries on the central Oregon coast, USA. Most nonindigenous species (NIS) introduced in these intermediately invaded estuaries are considered byproducts of culturing...

Assessing the sustainability of management practices for planted forests across an environmental gradient in New Zealand

Creator:: Kiyvyra, Alicia L.
Abstract:: Sustainable management of planted forests requires maintenance of soil function to promote 1) root growth; 2) storage and cycling of water and nutrients; 3) optimal gas exchange; and 4) biological activity. Soil quality measurements can be used to monitor short- and long-term changes in these soil functions, allowing managers to...

Engagement and retention in home visiting family support programs

Creator:: McGuigan, William M.
Abstract:: These two studies investigated maternal engagement and retention in a voluntary, home-visiting program. The program screened families at the birth of their first child for risk characteristics associated with poor child and family outcomes. Higher risk families were offered regular home visits and support for up to 5 years. In...

Husbandry stress of Zebrafish, Danio rerio

Creator:: Ramsay, Jennifer Mara
Abstract:: Zebrafish, Danio rerio, are widely used as vertebrate research organisms yet little is know about their responses to husbandry stressors. This dissertation examined the whole-body cortisol responses of zebrafish to husbandry stress. Additionally, the effects of stress on the susceptibility to mycobacteriosis and microsporidiosis (Pseudoloma neurophilia) were determined including effects...

The fate of organic and inorganic nitrogen inputs in an old-growth forest of the central Oregon Cascade Range

Creator:: Holub, Scott M.
Abstract:: Forests in the Pacific Northwest receive very little nitrogen through atmospheric deposition and thus studying the nitrogen cycle in this region can provide insights into how the unpolluted nitrogen cycle functions. I examined the fate of organic nitrogen versus inorganic nitrogen and the effect of tamlins on N retention by...

Population and behavioral responses of small mammals to silviculture and downed wood treatments in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Waldien, David L.
Abstract:: Forest managers are challenged to provide timber revenues and other resources for society while protecting and enhancing components of biodiversity that are often associated with older forests or older forest structure, such as dead wood. We examined small mammal response to timber harvest in stands 8-10 years following group-selection, two-story,...
