Spatio-temporal Patterns and Ecological Drivers of Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) off the Central Oregon Coast, USA

Creator:: Holdman, Amanda
Abstract:: The marine environment is under increasing pressure from human activities worldwide, particularly in coastal waters, creating a need to better understand fine-scale distributions of highly mobile species that occur in the area, as they are frequently most threatened. Harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) occur frequently in Oregon’s nearshore habitat, but due...

An evaluation of benzo(a)pyrene metabolism in an oyster (Ostrea edulis)-bacteria system

Creator:: Bunting, Diane Leigh
Abstract:: The overall objective of this research project was to evaluate the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) by the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis)-bacteria system. Individual oysters exist in nature as "systems" with commensal microorganisms and should be recognized as such when the metabolism of a specific environmental contaminant is being studied....

Uncovering Women's Magazines: Editors' Perspectives on the Relationship between Editorial and Advertising Content in Women's Fashion/Beauty Magazines

Creator:: Felesky, C. Leigh
Abstract:: This research examines women's magazine editors' perspectives of the relationship between editorial and advertising content in women's magazines. It specifically investigates how this relationship affects both general editorial content and more specifically, social topic stories. Mainstream women's beauty/fashion magazine editors—including editors-in-chief—were queried as to the nature of these relationships. Interviews...

An Ecological Assessment of a Potential Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) Reintroduction to the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Kone, Dominique
Abstract:: Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) used to exist along coastlines throughout much of the North Pacific Ocean. During the Maritime Fur Trade, sea otters were extirpated from much of their historic range, including Oregon. There is renewed interest in reintroducing sea otters to Oregon. Managers seek improved understanding of the potential...

Tonight’s Specials Include Mysids, Amphipods, and More: An Examination of the Zooplankton Prey of Oregon Gray Whales and its Impact on Foraging Choices and Prey Selection

Creator:: Hildebrand, Lisa
Abstract:: Understanding prey quality and prey selection by predators is critical for management efforts aimed at identification and protection of essential habitats and prey. Marine predators must make daily foraging choices in a heterogenous and dynamic environment in order to meet the high energetic demands of migration, reproduction and foraging. With...

An Investigation into the Distribution, Residency Patterns, Population Connectivity, and Abundance of Blue Whales (Balaenoptera musculus) in New Zealand

Creator:: Barlow, Dawn R.
Abstract:: Species conservation depends on robust population assessment. Data on population abundance, distribution, and connectivity are critical for effective management, especially as baseline information for newly documented populations. I describe a pygmy blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda) population in New Zealand waters with year-round presence that overlaps with industrial activities. This...

Citizen Science Research : A Focus on Historical Whaling Data and a Current Marine Mammal Citizen Science Project, Whale mAPP

Creator:: Hann, Courtney
Abstract:: Citizen science work has built the foundation of much of our knowledge on regional-scale large cetacean spatial patterns through historical whaling data. Historical whaling data on sperm whales was used as an example to show the type of ecological questions large-scale, long-term citizen science datasets can address. Results from the...

Fine scale foraging behavior of gray whales in relation to prey fields and vessel disturbance along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Sullivan, Florence A.
Abstract:: The desire to understand the spatial and temporal drivers of animal behavior and distribution relative to scale is central to movement ecology. Optimal foraging theory states that a predator should continue exploiting a patch until it is no longer profitable to do so. As human developments increasingly encroach on the...

Understanding Tolerance: Measuring and Modeling Human-Black Bear Interaction in Oregon

Creator:: Delie, Jackie S.
Abstract:: The social sciences are increasingly used in conservation to describe interactions and relationships between humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. Scientists and policy-makers have concluded that promoting human tolerance for wildlife is critical to the success of conservation efforts. Yet, the concept of tolerance is relatively new in the context of human-wildlife...
