Defining micro-habitat relationships for juvenile black rockfish, Sebastes melanops

Creator:: Mann, Marion E.
Abstract:: The functioning of marine habitats needs to be understood in the context of the ecological relationships and associations between organisms and the physical and biogenic environment they inhabit. Thus, it becomes important to explore and define habitat features which contribute to these relationships and which are important in the life...

Rangeland privatization and the Maasai experience : implications for livestock herding, open space, and wildlife conservation in southern Kenya

Creator:: Sundstrom, Shiloh
Abstract:: For centuries in what is now southern Kenya and northern Tanzania, nomadic, Maasai livestock herders have coexisted with vast populations of wildlife. Today, both wildlife and the Maasai herding lifestyle, a vital component of Maasai culture, are threatened by changes to the landscape and losses in mobility, including the policy...

Knowledge, information-seeking behavior, and health beliefs about prostate cancer and breast cancer among men 18-40 years of age : a pilot study and comparative analysis

Creator:: Johnson, Brian Keith
Abstract:: Prostate cancer is responsible for a substantial loss of life and burden of suffering among adult males. Evidence suggests that the risk of morbidity and mortality from prostate cancer can be reduced through specific screening and dietary practices (MCI, 2002; Ries et al., 2002). Further evidence suggests that screening can...

Relationships of exotic species and wildfire to the threatened plant Silene spaldingii

Creator:: Menke, Carolyn A.
Abstract:: In the canyon grasslands of Garden Creek Ranch Preserve in Idaho, where the threatened plant Silene spaldingii occurs and invasion by the exotic species Centaurea solstitialis and Bromus tectorum is proceeding rapidly, I examined environmental and community patterns of site invasion, and evaluated the apparent influence of invasion on Silene...

An opioid-like receptor in the roughskin newt, Taricha granulosa

Creator:: Walthers, Eliza A.
Abstract:: The main objectives of the current study were to obtain the complete cDNA sequence of an opioid-like receptor from an amphibian, the roughskin newt, Taricha granulosa, and investigate the receptor's tissue distribution and regulation following chronic exposure to the glucocorticoid corticosterone (CORT). Degenerate primers designed in highly conserved regions of...

Gene expression in the liver of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, during the stress response

Creator:: Momoda, Tracey S.
Abstract:: The extent to which responses to stress are maladaptive or adaptive to the long-term survival of fish remains to be better understood. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes in the livers of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, responding to an experimental stressor. Gene expression responses were...

Characterization of organic matter quality and content in Columbia River suspended particulate matter by cupric oxide oxidation

Creator:: Alleau, Yvan M.
Abstract:: The organic content of the Columbia River suspended particulate matter (SPM) results from the input of autochthonous (phytoplankton) and allochthonous (terrestrial vascular plants) production. The contribution of these two sources appears seasonal and responds to factors such as rainfall, runoff, river flow, light and nutrients availability. While numerous studies have...

Feeding rates of the mud shrimp Upogebia pugettensis and implications for estuarine phytoplankton abundance

Creator:: Griffen, Blaine D.
Abstract:: The suspension-feeding mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis, is a common inhabitant of intertidal mudflats in estuaries throughout the Pacific Northwest, where it develops extensive burrows. Also inhabiting the shrimps' burrow is the commensal bivalve, Cryptomya californica. Filtration by dense populations of the shrimp and its commensals may have a negative impact...

The effect of landscape topography and in-stream habitat on the distribution, growth, and survival of Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi) in a high desert watershed

Creator:: Boxall, George D.
Abstract:: Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT) (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi) are currently limited in their distribution to a patchwork of small isolated populations, the result of habitat degradation and natural variation in landscape and in-stream conditions. The objectives of this study were to determine how landscape level topographic features influence LCT distribution patterns....
