Description and analysis of dietary preference of lingcod in the nearshore zone, Oregon

Creator:: Tinus, Craig A.
Abstract:: The lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) is an important groundfish species in both recreational and commercial fisheries of the Northeastern Pacific. It is a large, fast-growing, generalist predator of invertebrates and fishes. In response to concerns that lingcod may limit populations of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.), I compared the diets of 375 adult...

A simulation model of wood dynamics in Pacific Northwest streams

Creator:: Meleason, Mark Alan
Abstract:: Conceptually, the dynamics of wood in streams can be viewed in terms of input and in-channel processes. Input processes are associated with both the riparian (tree fall, bank cutting, windthrow) and upslope forests (mass failures). In-channel processes include log breakage, movement, and decomposition. A mechanistic view of these processes is...

Movement Patterns of Rockfishes at the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve, Oregon

Creator:: Calvanese, Thomas P.
Abstract:: The effects of Marine protected areas (MPAs) on adult fish populations depend on the degree of protection provided, which is partly a function of MPA size and the spatial extent of fish movements. The Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve (RRMR) and MPA, located on the south coast of Oregon near Port...

A geographical framework for assessing longitudinal patterns in stream habitat and fish distribution

Creator:: Torgersen, Christian E.
Abstract:: New approaches are needed to quantify and understand spatial patterns of stream fishes and their environment. Concepts in riverine ecology emphasize the importance of thermal zones and gradual longitudinal changes in physical habitat and biota, but little is known about spatial variability within the river continuum. I present a conceptual...

An investigation into the genetic basis of migration timing in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen G.
Abstract:: The genetic basis of adaptation is complex as many fitness-related traits are quantitative and likely influenced by multiple genes with variable effects across different selective environments. One important adaptation for anadromous Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is the time at which individuals return to natal breeding sites within a reproductive season....

Evaluating Fish Rescue as a Drought Adaptation Strategy for Imperiled Coho Salmon: A Life-Cycle Modeling Approach

Creator:: Beebe, Brittany A.
Abstract:: Projected intensification of drought as a result of climate change may reduce the capacity of streams to rear fish, exacerbating the challenge of recovering ESA-listed salmon populations. Without management intervention, some stocks will likely go extinct as stream drying and fragmentation reduce juvenile survival to unsustainable levels. To offset drought-related...

Identification of candidate genes for survival and their use in predicting field performance of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas families in coastal waters

Creator:: Lang, Robert Paul
Abstract:: Summer mortality of farmed Pacific oysters causes financial losses for shellfish growers, and selective breeding to improve survival of offspring is a promising way to reduce losses. This dissertation has two objectives to assist the development of tools for use in selective breeding programs. Objective 1: Identify candidate genes for...

An Analysis of Beliefs About Environmental Governance and Connection to Environmental Services and Disservices

Creator:: Fleming, Whitney L.
Abstract:: The natural environment provides important services and benefits to peoples’ health and lives. Conversely, environmental disservices can have negative impacts on humans such as through pollution, chemical toxins, and climate change. The combination of environmental services and disservices encompass how human health and wellbeing, and the environment are connected. As...

Functional Diversity : A Tool to Track Spatiotemporal Changes in the Trophic Organization of Reef Fish Assemblages

Creator:: Rincón Diaz, Martha P.
Abstract:: Biodiversity loss in highly diverse systems such as coral reefs has been linked to significant declines in the ecosystem functions and services provided by marine species. Ecological functioning of coral reefs and the resistance of coral reef fish communities to disturbance depend on the functional traits of species that promotes...
