Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Calling Behavior In Southeast Alaska : A Study In Acoustic Ecology And Noise

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H.
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widely distributed baleen whale species, well known for their diverse acoustic behavior. On high-latitude foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a suite of non-song vocalizations (“calls”) in concert with foraging and social behavior. In this dissertation I investigated the role of calls in the acoustic...

Repertoire and classification of non-song calls in Southeast Alaskan humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E., Szabo, Andy, and Mellinger, David K.
Abstract:: On low-latitude breeding grounds, humpback whales produce complex and highly stereotyped songs as well as a range of non-song sounds associated with breeding behaviors. While on their Southeast Alaskan foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a range of previously unclassified non-song vocalizations. This study investigates the vocal repertoire of Southeast Alaskan...

Source levels of foraging humpback whale calls

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H., Matthews, Leanna P., Gabriele, Christine M., Mellinger, David K., and Klinck, Holger
Abstract:: Humpback whales produce a wide range of low-to mid-frequency vocalizations throughout their migratory range. Non-song "calls" dominate this species' vocal repertoire while on high-latitude foraging grounds. The source levels of 426 humpback whale calls in four vocal classes were estimated using a four-element planar array deployed in Glacier Bay National...

Social calling behavior of Southeast Alaskan humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) : classification and context

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle Elizabeth Hardy
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are vocal baleen whales that exhibit complex social interactions that vary spatially and seasonally. Across their range, humpback whales produce a wide array of vocalizations including ‘song’, foraging vocalizations, and a range of vocalizations known as social calls -- unclassified non-song vocalizations. This study investigates the...

Effects of Dwarf Mistletoe on Stand Structure of Lodgepole Pine Forests 21-28 Years Post-Mountain Pine Beetle Epidemic in Central Oregon

Creator:: Agne, Michelle C., Shaw, David C., Woolley, Travis J., and Queijeiro-Bolaños, Mónica E.
Abstract:: Lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) forests are widely distributed throughout North America and are subject to mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) epidemics, which have caused mortality over millions of hectares of mature trees in recent decades. Mountain pine beetle is known to influence stand structure, and has the ability to impact...

Wildfire exposure and fuel management on western US national forests

Creator:: Ager, Alan A., Day, Michelle A., McHugh, Charles W., Short, Karen, Gilbertson-Day, Julie, Finney, Mark A., and Calkin, David E.
Abstract:: Substantial investments in fuel management activities on national forests in the western US are part of a national strategy to reduce human and ecological losses from catastrophic wildfire and create fire resilient landscapes. Prioritizing these investments within and among national forests remains a challenge, partly because a comprehensive assessment that...

Monitoring Oregon Coastal Harmful Algae: Observations and implications of a harmful algal bloom-monitoring project

Creator:: McKibben, S. Morgaine, Watkins-Brandt, Katie S., Wood, A. Michelle, Hunter, Matthew, Forster, Zach, Hopkins, Alyssa, Du, Xiuning, Eberhart, Bich-Thuy, Peterson, William T., and White, Angelicque E.
Abstract:: The accumulation of domoic acid (DA) and saxitoxins (STX), phycotoxins produced by some species of Pseudo-nitzschia and Alexandrium, respectively, in coastal food webs are a focus of research on the West Coast of the United States due to the deleterious effects they have on coastal ecosystems and economies. Results are...

Cost-Effectiveness of Hypertension Therapy According to 2014 Guidelines

Creator:: Moran, Andrew E., Odden, Michelle C., Thanataveerat, Anusorn, Tzong, Keane Y., Rasmussen, Petra W., Guzman, David, Williams, Lawrence, Bibbins-Domingo, Kirsten, Coxson, Pamela G., and Goldman, Lee
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: On the basis of the 2014 guidelines for hypertension therapy in the United States, many eligible adults remain untreated. We projected the cost-effectiveness of treating hypertension in U.S. adults according to the 2014 guidelines. METHODS: We used the Cardiovascular Disease Policy Model to simulate drug-treatment and monitoring costs, costs...

Large-scale bloom of Akashiwo sanguinea in the Northern California current system in 2009

Creator:: White, Angelicque E., Watkins-Brandt, Katie S., McKibben, S. Morgaine, Wood, A. Michelle, Hunter, Matthew, Forster, Zach, Du, Xiuning, and Peterson, William T.
Abstract:: Significant seabird mortality on the Oregon (OR) and Washington (WA) coast in 2009 has been attributed to a massive bloom of the dinoflagellate Akashiwo sanguinea (K. Hirasaka) G. Hansen & Ø. Moestrup. Initial, albeit limited, observations suggested this bloom began in WA and reached OR waters through southward transport. Here,...

Investigating Alternatives to the fish early-life stage test: A strategy for discovering and annotating adverse outcome pathways for early fish development

Creator:: Villeneuve, Daniel, Volz, David C., Embry, Michelle R., Ankley, Gerald T., Belanger, Scott E., Léonard, Marc, Schirmer, Kristin, Tanguay, Robert, Truong, Lisa, and Wehmas, Leah
Abstract:: The fish early-life stage (FELS) test (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD] test guideline 210) is the primary test used internationally to estimate chronic fish toxicity in support of ecological risk assessments and chemical management programs. As part of an ongoing effort to develop efficient and cost-effective alternatives to...
