Ocean distribution of the American shad (Alosa sapidissima) along the Pacific coast of North America

Creator:: Pearcy, William G. and Fisher, Joseph P.
Abstract:: We examined the incidental catches of American shad (Alosa sapidissima) taken during research cruises and in commercial and recreational landings along the Pacific coast of North America during over 30 years of sampling. Shad, an introduced species, was mainly found over the shallow continental shelf, and largest catches and highest...

The effects of habitat, climate, and Barred Owls on long-term demography of Northern Spotted Owls

Creator:: Dugger, Katie M., Forsman, Eric D., Franklin, Alan B., Davis, Raymond J., White, Gary C., Schwarz, Carl J., Burnham, Kenneth P., Nichols, James D., Hines, James E., Yackulic, Charles B., Doherty, Paul F. Jr, Bailey, Larissa, Clark, Darren A., Ackers, Steven H., Andrews, Lawrence S., Augustine, Benjamin, Biswell, Brian L., Blakesley, Jennifer, Carlson, Peter C., Clement, Matthew J., Diller, Lowell V., Glenn, Elizabeth M., Green, Adam, Gremel, Scott A., Herter, Dale R., Higley, J. Mark, Hobson, Jeremy, Horn, Rob B., Huyvaert, Kathryn P., McCafferty, Christopher, McDonald, Trent, McDonnell, Kevin, Olson, Gail S., Reid, Janice A., Rockweit, Jeremy, Ruiz, Viviana, Saenz, Jessica, and Sovern, Stan G.
Abstract:: Estimates of species' vital rates and an understanding of the factors affecting those parameters over time and space can provide crucial information for management and conservation. We used mark–recapture, reproductive output, and territory occupancy data collected during 1985–2013 to evaluate population processes of Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) in...

Estimating Storm-Induced Dune Erosion and Overtopping along U.S. West Coast Beaches

Creator:: Mull, Jeremy and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: Coastal foredunes protect lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems during severe storms. A range of approaches, ranging from simple (e.g., geometric) to complex (e.g., process-based) predictive models, have been developed to quantify overtopping and foredune retreat during storms. At present, however, there is no widely accepted approach for assessing the vulnerability of...

Momentum transfer over the coastal zone

Creator:: Sun, Jielun, Vandemark, Douglas, Mahrt, Larry, Vickers, Dean, Crawford, Timothy, and Vogel, Christoph
Abstract:: Spatial variations of surface stress over the coastal shoaling zone are studied offshore of Duck, North Carolina, by the LongEZ research aircraft, equipped to measure both atmospheric turbulence and oceanic waves. We find that the spatial variation of the friction velocity with offshore distance is much larger with offshore flow...

Observations of non-dimensional wind shear in the coastal zone

Creator:: Vickers, Dean and Mahrt, Larry
Abstract:: Vertical profiles of the time-averaged wind stress, wind speed and buoyancy flux from the off-shore tower site in the Risø Air Sea Experiment are used to evaluate similarity theory in the coastal zone. The observed dependence of the non-dimensional wind shear on stability is compared to the traditional parametrization. Relationships...

Microstructure activity within a minifilament in the Coastal Transition Zone

Creator:: Dewey, Richard K., Moum, James N., and Caldwell, Douglas R.
Abstract:: This paper presents observations of a dynamic minifilament and summarizes the findings of three microstructure surveys across and within the meandering current structures of the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ). An actively turbulent minifilament is discussed and possible consequences of the small-scale processes with regard to frontal dynamics are examined. Four...

Workshop on problems of assessing populations of nekton

Creator:: Pearcy, William G.
Abstract:: A workshop was held in Santa Barbara, California, associated with assessing the populations of nekton animals such as squids, shrimps and fishes. Sessions four major methods of assessing nekton populations: (1) Net collections (2) Acoustics (3) Egg/larval surveys (4) Visual methods, remote sensing and feeding habit studies An attempt was...

Wintering ecology of sympatric subspecies of Sandhill Crane: Correlations between body size, site fidelity, and movement patterns

Creator:: Ivey, Gary L., Dugger, Bruce D., Herziger, Caroline P., Casazza, Michael L., and Fleskes, Joseph P.
Abstract:: Body size is known to correlate with many aspects of life history in birds, and this knowledge can be used to manage and conserve bird species. However, few studies have compared the wintering ecology of sympatric subspecies that vary significantly in body size. We used radiotelemetry to examine the relationship...

Regional variation in mtDNA of the lesser prairie-chicken

Creator:: Hagen, Christian A., Pitman, James C., Sandercock, Brett K., Wolfe, Don H., Robel, Robert J., Applegate, Roger D., and Oyler-McCance, Sara J.
Abstract:: Cumulative loss of habitat and long-term decline in the populations of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) have led to concerns for the species’ viability throughout its range in the southern Great Plains. For more efficient conservation past and present distributions of genetic variation need to be understood. We examined the...

Currents and water masses of the coastal transition zone off Northern California, June to August 1988

Abstract:: In summer 1988, we made repeated mesoscale surveys of a grid extending 200 km offshore between 37°N and 39°N in the coastal transition zone off northern California, obtaining continuous acoustic Doppler current profiler data and conductivity-temperature-depth data at standard stations 25 km apart on alongshore sections 40 km apart. All...
