North Pacific Humpback Whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae) in Northern Southeast Alaska: Population Trends, Monitoring, and Management

Creator:: Thurber, Rhianna L.
Abstract:: After the commercial exploitation of humpback whales (Megaptera Novaeangliae) ceased, population trends in the North Pacific increased with the implementation of federal protective legislation. The recovery of the population prompted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to divide the population into 14 Distinct Population Segments (DPSs) based on discrete geographic...

Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Tracing the Pacific Islander Diaspora in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Yarbrough, Nicole
Abstract:: The Pacific Islander diaspora in the Pacific Northwest United States is a unique community characterized by diverse cultures, experiences, and motivations for migration. This study aimed to explore the narratives of individuals from different Pacific Islander backgrounds residing in Oregon, shedding light on their reasons for migration and the impact...

The Mountain Pine Beetle, Climate Change and Sustainable Forestry in the Northern Rocky Mountain

Creator:: Gillen, Amanda
Abstract:: Mountain pine beetles (MPB) have killed millions of acres of forest throughout the Rocky Mountain ecoregion in the United States and Canada and climate change may be intensifying outbreaks. Climate change can change forest ecosystems and dynamics by increasing drought conditions and intensifying heat waves. Due to changing climate conditions,...

Life History of the Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) in Oregon

Creator:: Leppin, Mark V.
Abstract:: The Northern Rubber Boa (Charina bottae) is a small, secretive boa native to the Pacific Northwest. Despite this being possibly the highest latitude boas and one of only two boas native to the continental U.S., it has received surprisingly little attention. Most of the research on the natural history of...

Foraging ecology of barred owls where they are outcompeting the threatened northern spotted owl

Creator:: Baumbusch, Ryan C.
Abstract:: Following European-American colonization of North America and associated landscape changes, barred owls (Strix varia) underwent a dramatic expansion of their historical range. The barred owl expanded across the previously tree-less Great Plains that had limited their distribution, and into the forests along the west coast. In these western forests they...

Evaluating Alternative Soil Amendments for Organic Northern Highbush Blueberry Cultivation in Sub-Optimal Soils

Creator:: Retano, Andrea
Abstract:: Escalating demand for organic blueberries has driven a significant expansion of northern highbush blueberry (NHB; Vaccinium corymbosum L.) production area. This expansion is particularly pronounced in regions of the Pacific Northwest where native soil conditions are sub-optimal for NHB, notably east of the Cascade Mountain Range of Oregon and Washington,...

Identifying Environmentally Relevant Abundances and Characteristics of Internalized Microplastics in Northern California Current Zooplankton

Creator:: Bolm, Anna E.
Abstract:: Microplastics are ubiquitous in our oceans, yet we are still clarifying what risks they pose to marine organisms, which can be challenging due to their trait diversity and spatial patchiness. Laboratory-based studies assessing risk demonstrate that many marine animals internalize microplastics, either actively through ingestion or passively via respiration. However,...
