Distributions and fishery associations of immature short-tailed albatrosses (Phoebastria albatrus) in the North Pacific

Creator:: O'Connor, Amelia J.
Abstract:: Short-tailed albatrosses (Phoebastria albatrus, hereafter "STAL") migrate throughout the North Pacific, overlapping with multiple large scale fisheries. In the Bering Sea, documented bycatch of this species is a focal conservation concern, due to the fact that this species is listed as "endangered" under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. We conducted...

Salmon Habitat Restoration using Large Wood : Linking Stream Geomorphic Change and Restoration Effectiveness

Creator:: Yeager, Amelia
Abstract:: Large wood (LW) plays an integral role in mountain stream ecosystems, exerting a range of effects on sediment transport, stream morphology, and habitat creation. Human activities, including timber harvesting and clearing of land for agricultural and industrial development, have contributed to a marked decrease in natural sources of LW and...

Parental Perceptions of Child's Experiences Participating in a Family Dog-Assisted Physical Activity Program for their Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Simpson, Amelia C.
Abstract:: Introduction: Parents provide an in-depth and unique perspective on their children with developmental disabilities (DDs) experiences and involvement in physical activity. Furthermore, family pets promote physical activity and quality of life in children with DDs. An imitation based physical activity program for children with DD and their family dog took...

Optimizing Placement of Weather Stations: Defining and Testing a Meaningful Objective for Multi-Variable Weather Monitoring Networks

Creator:: Snyder, Amelia M.
Abstract:: As the number of weather stations declines globally, ensuring that meteorological monitoring networks efficiently and effectively monitor weather variables becomes increasingly important. Multi-variable weather sensors are becoming more widely available and make monitoring weather phenomena more economical. However, when seeking an optimal spatial distribution of these stations, choosing an objective...

Mate choice of wild spawning coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in the Umpqua River, Oregon

Creator:: Whitcomb, Amelia C.
Abstract:: Evidence for reduced reproductive success (RS) of wild spawning hatchery-reared fish invites serious consideration with regard to the detrimental effects on subsequent generations of wild populations. Mate choice was evaluated as a potential mechanism contributing to these observed RS differences using a previous pedigree of wild spawning hatchery-reared and wild...

Lichen Biomonitoring from Valley to Alpine in Central and Southern California

Creator:: Kovasi, Adrienne I.
Abstract:: In the mountains of central and southern California, high elevation wilderness areas lack epiphytic lichens that can be used to inform us about atmospheric deposition in multiple ways. Epiphytic lichens are capable of accumulating elements proportionally to the local atmospheric concentration, establishing them as commonly used biomonitor of key elements....

Lichen Functional Trait Variation Along an East-West Climatic Gradient in Oregon and Among Habitats in Katmai National Park, Alaska

Creator:: Spickerman, Kaleigh
Abstract:: Functional traits of vascular plants have been an important component of ecological studies for a number of years; however, in more recent times vascular plant ecologists have begun to formalize a set of key traits and universal system of trait measurement. Many recent studies hypothesize global generality of trait patterns,...

Contrasting Epiphytic and Ground Layer Macrolichen Communities along the Coast-to-inland Climatic Gradient in Oregon

Creator:: Glauser, Abby L.
Abstract:: Cyanolichens, lichens with a cyanobacterial photobiont, benefit our ecosystems by the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for other organisms. They are highly sensitive to air pollution and require liquid water for photosynthesis. Many cyanolichen species frequently occur on the ground in the Pacific Northwest, however, most macrolichen...

Riparian lichens of northern Idaho

Creator:: Hutchinson, Jenifer L.
Abstract:: Riparian forests in the Idaho Panhandle, north of Whitebird, were surveyed for rare riparian lichen species. The region was stratified into nine geographic units and by stream size. Eighty-one plots were surveyed for lichen community, stand and river characteristics. Variables important to lichen community composition included regional differences, elevation, climatic...
