The Oregon Coastal Subprovince, a new biogeographic subprovince for primary freshwater fishes in Oregon

Creator:: Kettratad, Jes
Abstract:: The Pacific Northwest has a relatively low diversity of primary freshwater fishes with most of the endemism and diversity in the Columbia River and Klamath River. However, the Oregon Coastal Subprovince defined as the coastal rivers from Miami River in the north to Sixes River in the south, has a...

Ethnic minorities' leisure-time physical activity in the context of acculturation

Creator:: Lee, Hyo
Abstract:: Eliminating physical activity disparities among ethnic minorities in the U.S. is important. Cultural differences have been found to be plausible contributing factors associated with such disparities. Therefore it is important to investigate and understand the mechanisms by which diverse aspects of cultural experiences affect physical activity participation among ethnic minorities,...

Metamorphosis, growth, and settlement of Pacific sanddab (Citharichthys sordidus) to a continental shelf nursery, inferred from otolith microstructure

Creator:: Donohoe, Christopher James
Abstract:: Processes of metamorphosis, settlement, and growth were examined in Pacific sanddab using field studies and otolith microstructure. This flatfish transforms at large sizes, has a gradual metamorphosis, and settles to a nursery on the middle continental shelf. Eye migration takes 3 months and "metamorphosis proper" which begins after completion of...

Settlement, distribution, growth, and mortality of juvenile dover sole (Microstomus pacificus) off northern Oregon

Creator:: Toole, C. L. (Christopher L.)
Abstract:: Demographic characteristics of juvenile Dover sole (Microstomus pacificus) were examined in relation to physical and biotic factors to develop a hypothesis explaining annual variations in recruitment. Surveys were conducted along the Oregon continental shelf at depths between 50-400 m bimonthly during 1989 and annually (in March) between 1990 and 1993....

Fish assemblage organization in the Amazon River floodplain : species richness, spatial distribution and recruitment processes

Creator:: Petry, Paulo
Abstract:: The composition and distribution of fish assemblages was examined in a floodplain lake system in the Amazon basin. Quantitative samples were collected during the 1992-1993 flooding season at Marchantaria Island, Solimoes River. A total of 25,819 specimens representing 8 orders, 30 families, 101 genera and 139 species of fish were...

Species identification of Klamath Basin suckers (Pisces : Catostomidae) and an assessment of hybridization using anonymous nuclear loci

Creator:: Wagman, David Wolfe
Abstract:: Low copy number anonymous nuclear loci were used to search for species markers in four species of Klamath Basin suckers. We sequenced 28 randomly chosen loci representing 10,421 bp; 21 loci were similar to sequences in GenBank. Eight fixed sequence differences were found among Klamath species. Locus 120 contained rare...

Phylogeny and zoogeography of glyptocephalines (Pisces: Pleuronectidae)

Creator:: Chiu, Tai-sheng
Abstract:: Hypotheses of phylogenetic and historical zoogeographic relationships of glyptocephalines (Glyptocephalus cynoglossus, G. zachirus, G. stelleri, Microstomus kitt, H. pacificus, H. achne, Embassichthys bathybius, and Tanakius kitaharae) were constructed based on comparative anatomy and external morphology. The phylogenetic approach was cladistic and character polarity was determined by using out-group comparison. One...

Breaking silos : interdisciplinary research in kinesiology

Creator:: Schary, David P.
Abstract:: With the growing popularity of kinesiology at the undergraduate level, one would expect the field to be influential. Kinesiology, however, appears to be in a paradox. The undergraduate popularity is not reflected in the rest of academia, or even the general public, many of whom feel kinesiology is not a...

Disentangling the Biotic and Abiotic Drivers of the Amphibian Disease Chytridiomycosis

Creator:: Bradley, Paul W.
Abstract:: The ongoing worldwide loss of biodiversity has been described as a "biodiversity crisis," "the Anthropocene defaunation," and alternatively "an extinction spasm." More recently, many scientists have come to the conclusion that we are witnesses to Earth's sixth major mass extinction event, which has the potential to fundamentally alter basic ecological...
