Effects of diet on growth and development of nesting seabirds

Creator:: Romano, Marc D.
Abstract:: Recent declines in nesting success of some fish-eating seabirds in Alaska have been attributed to declines in availability of certain schooling forage fishes (e.g., capelin Mallotus villosus, Pacific sand lance Ammodytes hexapterus, and Pacific herring Clupea harengus pallasi). These fishes tend to have high lipid content compared with other species...

All in a DNA's work : conservation genetics and monitoring of the New Zealand endemic Maui's and Hector's dolphins

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...

Worldwide phylogeography and local population structure of the rough-toothed dolphin (Steno bredanensis)

Creator:: Albertson, G. Renee
Abstract:: Several dolphin species have global distributions. The extent of their radiation and limits to gene flow are presumably a product of oceanographic features both recent and historical, behavioral specializations and social organization. Rough-toothed dolphins (Steno bredanensis) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical waters and are generally found in depths...

Elevational differences in UV-B response by the long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum)

Creator:: Thurman, Lindsey L.
Abstract:: Global amphibian declines have been attributed to numerous and often synergistic causes, such as invasive species, pathogens, and ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. The effects of these stressors are context dependent and can vary with location, species, and populations. As sensitivity to UV-B has shown inconsistencies across amphibian taxa, it can be...

Photo-identification of Melon-headed Whales (Peponocephala electra) in the Marquesas Islands : Creation of the First Photo-identification Catalog and Estimation of Group Size and Minimum Abundance in a Remote Archipelago

Creator:: McClung, John Ralph, II
Abstract:: For many species of oceanic dolphins, photo-identification and genetic data indicate that these island-associated populations are demographically isolated from pelagic populations and that island-associated populations exhibit very different patterns of movement and habitat use. Melon-headed whales (Peponocephala electra) are generally considered a pelagic dolphin, but have been documented around oceanic...

Population attributes and habitat selection of recolonizing mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa)

Creator:: Hacker, Amy L.
Abstract:: I investigated the population attributes and habitat selection of mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa) recolonizing clearcuts in the Coast Range mountains of Polk and Lincoln counties, Oregon between June 1989 and August 1990. The population characteristics of colonizing mountain beaver were evaluated in 12 stands of 3 types: 1-year-old clearcuts assumed...

Using Satellite Imagery to Count Nesting Albatross from Space

Creator:: Dolliver, Jane E.
Abstract:: One fundamental concern in conservation biology is species abundance. For many taxa, however, these data are costly to obtain via direct observation and thus limited in geographic or temporal scope. Very high-resolution satellite imagery provides a means to address these limitations and provide remotely-sensed counts of large, colonial species. We...

The energetics of migration and reproduction of dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis)

Creator:: Bromley, Robert G. H.
Abstract:: Adult female Dusky Canada Geese were studied on the Copper River Delta, Alaska and in the Willamette Valley, Oregon during April through July, 1977 to 1979. Objectives of the research were to: 1) determine the chronology of use of protein and energy reserves in relation to four periods of reproduction...
