Salmon, Saws, and Sense of Place: Using a Discrete Choice Experiment to Examine Place Relationships and Preferences for Stream Restoration on the Quinault Indian Reservation

Creator:: Robinson, Kerrick W.
Abstract:: The social sciences have the capacity to contribute to natural resource management through investigations of human dynamics associated with the environment. Sense of place (SOP), the formed relationships between an individual and the environment, has been considered a fundamental aspect of human well-being and can contribute to more holistic understanding...

Seasonal dynamics of a riparian food web in the Oregon Coast Range mountains

Creator:: Robillard, Amanda Lynn
Abstract:: Riparian areas are eco-tones where aquatically- and terrestrially-derived insect biomass is exchanged between habitats, presenting consumers with new sources of energy, and resulting in a reciprocal subsidy. The relative contribution of energy exchange and the resulting impacts on vertebrate riparian consumers, such as fish or birds, remains poorly understood. We...

Phylogenetics, Biogeography, Morphological Variation, and Taxonomic Revision of Sandelia capensis (Cuvier 1829) (Anabantiformes: Anabantidae), a Freshwater Fish from the Coastal Streams of the Cape Region, South Africa

Creator:: Bronaugh, Whitcomb Meade
Abstract:: Accumulating human impacts on freshwater ecosystems have created a biodiversity crisis for freshwater fishes while conservation efficacy remains hampered by the Linnaean shortfall, the ignorance of many species that have yet to be discovered and described. The past discovery of most freshwater fish species was simply a matter of collecting...

Distribution, habitat use, and growth of juvenile Chinook salmon in the Metolius River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Lovtang, Jens C.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) have been absent from their historic spawning and rearing grounds in the Metolius River Basin in central Oregon since 1968, when fish passage was terminated at the Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project on the Deschutes River. Plans have been developed to reestablish passage of anadromous fish...

Lamprey of the Goose Lake Basin: A Multi-Scale Habitat & Distribution Analysis

Creator:: Dickey, Jacob C.
Abstract:: Two ecologically important lamprey species found in the endorheic Goose Lake Basin face conservation threats; however, relatively little is known about their habitat needs or spatial distribution. Lamprey and their habitat are often found to be patchy; to evaluate these relationships for the lamprey in this basin, I utilized a...

Neural gene expression profiling in chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) of alternate run times

Creator:: Bernier, Jeremiah C.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) display the greatest variability of return times to freshwater of all Pacific salmon. Differential return times to freshwater have segregated populations of Chinook into two broad types or runs, fall and spring, named for the time of year in which they migrate to freshwater. Migration time...

Population Differentiation in two Northeastern Pacific Marine Species

Creator:: Curran, Lorne Sullivan
Abstract:: Population genetic techniques are now preeminent in differentiating wild populations. Natural resource managers rely on them in their efforts to restore viable populations of fish and wildlife. Overfishing adversely impacted Yelloweye Rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) on the U.S. West Coast in the late 20th century. Management actions included shutting down the...

Ecology of the northern subpopulation of northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) in the California Current large marine ecosystem

Creator:: Litz, Marisa N. C.
Abstract:: Northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) are a dominant forage fish in the California Current large marine ecosystem (CCLME). However, little is known about northern anchovy abundance, distribution, age structure, or population fluctuations relative to ocean conditions in the eastern boundary upwelling system off the U.S. West Coast. This thesis includes three...

The physiology ecology and run diversity of adult Pacific lamprey, Entosphenus tridentatus, during the freshwater spawning migration

Creator:: Clemens, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Pacific lamprey, Entosphenus tridentatus, have shown recent and rapid declines in abundance. These anadromous fish return to streams where they mature, spawn and die. It has been inferred that Pacific lamprey enter freshwater and reside for ~ 1 year before spawning. This long exposure to the freshwater environment may affect...

Evaluation of Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus Tridentatus Anatomical Structures as Records of Age and Isotope Histories

Creator:: Pelekai, Keala N.
Abstract:: The anadromous Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) is a biologically and culturally important species native to the North Pacific Ocean and its adjacent freshwater tributaries. Pacific Lamprey have experienced declines in abundance and distribution throughout their native range, highlighting a need for further research on the species to better inform conservation...
