Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Avian Utilization and Community Composition in Willamette Valley Wetland Study Sites: A Comparative Analysis of Winter Seasons in 1995 and 2019

Creator:: Zimmerman, Marisa
Abstract:: Resident and migratory avifauna in the Willamette Valley, Oregon are heavily influenced by winter conditions and habitat characteristics, especially those of wetlands. As such, it is important to monitor avian communities and environmental factors at wetland sites within the Willamette Valley during winter. Using data from standardized avian point-count surveys,...

Equity in Resilience: Wildfire in the Rogue River Basin

Creator:: Sloan, Emma E.
Abstract:: Forced removal of Indigenous communities and subsequent colonial forest management have led to landscape homogenization, fuel abundance, conifer encroachment, and, therefore, a loss of forest and fire resilience in the Western US. This loss of forest and fire resilience leads to a loss of social resilience as forested communities struggle...

Evaluating pollinator populations and lamb productivity from simple, diverse, and legume pastures in a dual use pasture system

Creator:: Caudillo, Mia C.
Abstract:: Dual use pasture systems, sometimes referred to as dual purpose pasture systems, take advantage of the land being used to maximize multiple outputs from a single area. Developing a system to support both production of grazing livestock as well as pollinator health is of increasing importance in pasture-based farming systems....

Change in Oregon’s Nearshore Groundfish Trawl Fishery: Perspectives from Science and Industry Data

Creator:: Howard, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: The commercial groundfish fishing industry and groundfish research have a long concurrent history of activity on the Oregon continental margin. Within the non-whiting groundfish fishery, the target species are primarily flatfishes, sablefish, lingcod, and rockfishes, though landings of each have fluctuated over time. Recent work shows that over the past...

Genetic Structure, Diversity, and Mating System of Leptasterias: Potential for Local Adaptation?

Creator:: Boring, Emily L.
Abstract:: Understanding of gene flow, connectivity, and diversity is critical to predict the stability of key marine species. The Oregon coast of the U.S.A. shows fine-scale levels of geographic variation in environmental stressors such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels, prompting questions about the potential for local adaptation. In this thesis,...

Forb Community Response to Various Disturbances in the Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass Prairie

Creator:: Watson, Brogan L.
Abstract:: Observed declines in native pollinator species worldwide has generated concern and focused research into the disturbances, past and present, which may have contributed to these losses. In grasslands, for example, habitat degradation and fragmentation from historical and current crop production and livestock grazing has left only a few remnants of...

Informing and Enhancing Scientific and Management Understanding of Oregon’s Nearshore Groundfish Trawl Fishery by Engaging Local Ecological Knowledge

Creator:: Sjostrom, Anja J. C.
Abstract:: Oregon’s Coastal nearshore ecosystems are a nexus between living marine resources and coincident human recreational, industrial and socio-economic development. These nearshore regions also provide habitats vital to early life history stages of commercial non-whiting groundfish species, which supplied 21% of the Oregon fishing economy in 2018. The very shallow portions...

Exploring IMU Attitude and Position Estimation for Improved Location in Indoor Environments

Creator:: Zhang, Shengkai
Abstract:: Wearable sensors with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) are popular for indoor positioning and activity pattern detection. The IMUs can be connected to a wireless transmission module, allowing users to monitor and process motion-related parameters remotely. Because of the complexity and uncertainty of signals in indoor environments, a radio frequency...

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Assessment and Management: Incorporating Nearshore Surveys into the Fishery Management Framework

Creator:: Haven, Katlyn M. M.
Abstract:: The Pacific coast groundfish fishery is a diverse, important and lucrative commercial and recreational fishery. Part of this fishery’s monitoring process includes regular fishery-independent surveys for stock assessment. Although these fishery-independent surveys are cost-effective, they are susceptible to scientific uncertainty, and they do not currently sample in nearshore (water depth...

Movement, dive behavior, and habitat-use of common murres (Uria aalge) in the Northern California Current System under variable ocean conditions

Creator:: Loredo, Stephanie A.
Abstract:: Year-round habitat use of marine predators provides knowledge of important marine areas throughout different life stages. Large-scale, environmental variability, both in space and time, causes changes in the behavior and distribution of marine predators that are important to quantify for conservation. In the Northern California Current System (NCCS), common murres...
