Function of Oregon Estuaries to Juvenile Fishes, with Focus on Juvenile Rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Schwartzkopf, Brittany D.
Abstract:: The role that anthropogenic and natural habitats in estuaries play in long-term population trends for Oregon’s nearshore marine fishes is poorly understood, in part due to limited temporal sampling. One important nearshore marine group is northeastern Pacific rockfishes (Sebastes spp.), which are highly diverse, with around 96 documented species, and...

Marine Mass Mortality in a Global Change Context: Impacts on Individuals, Populations and Communities

Creator:: Sullivan Stack, Jenna
Abstract:: Human actions are pushing natural systems into states that have no historical precedent. In response, empirical and theoretical researchers are increasingly focused on developing ways to predict the responses of ecological systems to change. However, significant knowledge gaps remain, often leading to “ecological surprises” where observed impacts of global change...

Jumping in with Both Feet: Exploring Factors that Shape Juvenile Amphibian Movement

Creator:: Bredeweg, Evan M.
Abstract:: Investigation into how animals move within the landscape is important for both understanding of ecological processes and conservation management. Animal movement is important in shaping life history transitions, demographics, individual fitness, and species distributions. However, as landscapes become increasingly affected by human activities, movement becomes important as species navigate landscapes...

Revealing sequences and modifications of intact proteins using electron fragmentation

Creator:: Franklin, Rachel
Abstract:: People turn to mass spectrometry to answer some of life’s most important questions. From carbon dating of archeological finds to newborn blood screening tests, mass spectrometry allows us to measure molecules which helps advance our knowledge of life and the world we live in. One area of mass spectrometry that...

Evaluating the Secure-base Effect in Dogs Living in Foster and Shelter Environments As a Mechanism for Achieving Mutual Well-being

Creator:: Thielke, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Although it is widely accepted that dogs and humans form attachment relationships, characterizing attachment styles in dogs has only recently received attention in the literature. Previous research has shown that pet dogs display patterns of behavior in an attachment test that can be classified into secure and insecure attachment styles,...

Investigating the Effect of Using Mobile Touchscreen Device on Children's Tactile Skills

Creator:: Almurshed, Rana
Abstract:: To users, mobile touchscreen devices have appealing characteristics; among these characteristics is intuitiveness, which leads to mobile devices being used almost everywhere by almost everyone to accomplish almost anything. This statement, to some degree, holds for children too. Despite touchscreen devices’ intuitiveness and popularity, we don’t know much about how...

Intergenerational responses to the death of a child

Creator:: White, Diana L.
Abstract:: The death of a child is a traumatic family event. This qualitative study examined the experiences of parents and grandparents in 10 families who had lost a baby to SIDS, stillbirth, or birth defects. Key questions focused on support given and received, meanings attributed to the loss, continuing bonds, and...

Changing Climate, Changing Contexts : Variation in Rocky Intertidal Predator-prey Interactions Seen Through an Environmental Stress Framework

Creator:: Cerny-Chipman, Elizabeth B.
Abstract:: The multifaceted role of the environment in regulating the structure and dynamics of biological communities has long fascinated ecologists and motivated much debate and research. Now, in a time of accelerated global changes due to human impacts, the need to understand how the environment shapes communities has gained new urgency....

How Nearshore Currents affect Larval Dispersal and Genetic Connectivity of China Rockfish (Sebastes nebulosus) Along Oregon and Washington Coasts

Creator:: Avila, Alexandra M.
Abstract:: Connectivity of fish populations is a crucial question for fisheries conservation and the development of spatial management plans. Both adult and larval movement define the extent and direction of ecological and evolutionary overlap between geographic regions and, therefore, how we define stocks for management purposes. Within that context, my work...
