Diving into Diversity: Fish Populations and Climate Resilience in an Endorheic Basin

Creator:: Dew, Aleah
Abstract:: The Goose Lake Basin, situated on the border of Oregon and California, USA, faces significant challenges from drought, wildfire, and other environmental stressors. This region hosts numerous endemic fish species such as the Goose Lake redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss newberri), Goose Lake lamprey (Entosphenus sp.), Goose Lake tui chub (Siphateles...

Combining Disparate Data Sources with Ecosystem and Integrated Models: Case Studies for Improving Management of Protected Species

Creator:: Chasco, Brandon E.
Abstract:: Globally, the number of threatened species is increasing and conserving them is a high priority to the scientific community. Assessing the status of these protected species is challenging due to missing, contested, and or contradictory data streams. Integrated models (IMs) provide a statistical framework for combining disparate data sources to...

How Nearshore Currents affect Larval Dispersal and Genetic Connectivity of China Rockfish (Sebastes nebulosus) Along Oregon and Washington Coasts

Creator:: Avila, Alexandra M.
Abstract:: Connectivity of fish populations is a crucial question for fisheries conservation and the development of spatial management plans. Both adult and larval movement define the extent and direction of ecological and evolutionary overlap between geographic regions and, therefore, how we define stocks for management purposes. Within that context, my work...

Development of a Structured Adaptive Approach to Klamath Basin Sucker Recovery Planning

Creator:: Barajas, Miguel F.
Abstract:: Listed as endangered in 1988, the Lost River sucker (Deltistes luxatus) and Shortnose sucker (Chasmistes brevirostris) were once abundant and widely distributed in the Klamath Basin in Southern Oregon and Northern California. Populations of both species have been declining since the late 1960’s. Factors thought responsible for declines include naturally...

Relationship between Ascarophis Sp. (Nematoda: Cystidicolidae), Sturgeon Feeding Pit Density and Ghost Shrimp Burrowing Behavior

Creator:: Brockman, Joseph N.
Abstract:: Bioturbation caused by ghost shrimp, Neotrypaea californiensis, burrowing activity can negatively affect Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, aquaculture through their burial and subsequent suffocation. The shellfish aquaculture industry used chemicals to control burrowing shrimp populations in Washington State estuaries for decades, but, due to public and governmental scrutiny, that practice has...

An Examination of Gender and Racial/Ethnic Social Identities in Marine, Aquatic, and Fisheries Sciences

Creator:: King, Brittany D.
Abstract:: Despite growing efforts to recruit individuals from diverse backgrounds, natural resources fields, including marine aquatic and fisheries science, do not reflect the diversity of the United States. This dissertation utilized three studies to explore underrepresentation in marine, aquatic, and fisheries sciences by examining career influences, experiences, and perspectives at different...

Influence of Novel Ocean Conditions on Life History Characteristics of a Nearshore Rockfish with Implications for Population Assessment and Management

Creator:: Rosemond, Rebecca C.
Abstract:: The California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME), located on the eastern boundary of the North Pacific Ocean, is highly dynamic, with variable conditions driven by seasonal upwelling, regional oceanography, and broad scale climate patterns. In the last decade, the northeast Pacific Ocean has experienced several marine heatwaves (MHWs), prolonged periods...

A Contingency-Based Evaluation for Beaver Restoration of Salmon Habitat in Oregon Coastal Streams

Creator:: Stevenson, John R.
Abstract:: Streams across the western United States are impaired from human alterations that have reduced freshwater habitat by simplifying channel complexity and disconnecting floodplains (Knox et al., 2022; Waples et al., 2008; Wohl, 2014). Climate change is likely to continue exacerbating these risks by warming summer surface stream temperatures (Crozier et...

Pacific lamprey Entosphenus tridentatus : integrating traditional ecological knowledge and contemporary values into conservation planning, and stream substrate associations with larval abundance in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon, U.S.A.

Creator:: Sheoships, Gabe
Abstract:: Pacific lamprey Entosphenus tridentatus is a valuable icon and traditional food source for Indigenous people of western North America. Native Americans have utilized traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) since time immemorial to guide their ways of life, transmitting cultural values and natural history to further generational knowledge. Pacific lamprey are in...

Spatial and Temporal Assessment of Vertically Migrating Myctophids as Biotransporters of Microplastics to Mesopelagic Food Webs

Creator:: Boisen, Olivia C.
Abstract:: It is well documented that microplastics and semi-synthetic particles (<5 mm) pervade the marine environment, with their ingestion by marine fauna eliciting global concern. While fishes exposed to microparticles in a laboratory setting have exhibited both sub-lethal and lethal effects, the diversity in material, morphology, and size of these contaminants...
