Lower and Middle Devonian carbonate-platform and outer-shelf-basin deposits flanking Railroad Valley, Nevada

Creator:: Nelson, Storr L.
Abstract:: Lower and Middle Devonian strata crop out on the former stable carbonate platform that existed in the Quinn Canyon Range, through the carbonate shelf edge in the Pancake Range, to the carbonate slope and outer-shelf basin in the Reveille Range. The strata of the Reveille Range record a transition from...

Spatial and temporal movement patterns of wintering Dunlin (Calidris alpina) and Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Sanzenbacher, Peter M.
Abstract:: Avian movement behavior provides insight on patterns of regional and local fidelity, habitat and resource requirements, the scale at which individuals perceive the landscape, and the relative influence of the spatial array of resources. Shorebirds (suborder: Charadrii) are a diverse and mobile group of wetland associated species. Large numbers of...

Nesting season ecology of marbled murrelets at a remote mainland fjord in southeast Alaska

Creator:: Barbaree, Blake A.
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the nesting ecology and marine space use of Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) during the 2007 and 2008 nesting seasons in and around Port Snettisham, a remote mainland fjord in Southeast Alaska. Marbled Murrelets (murrelets) are a declining species throughout most of their range, and their conservation...

Spatial distribution and the probability of occurrence of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in Alaskan Arctic

Creator:: Romeo, Lucy F.
Abstract:: The known distribution of beluga whales ranges from sub-Arctic to Arctic waters where they migrate in pods in response to environmental factors such as the presence of sea ice and prey. This study uses bivariate and multivariate analysis techniques to measure how environmental covariates are associated with the spatial-temporal distribution...

Effects of dietary pyrrolizidine alkaloids on copper and vitamin A metabolism in the chicken and Japanese quail

Creator:: Huan, Jianya
Abstract:: Objectives of this study were to examine effects of dietary pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) on copper and vitamin A metabolism in the chicken which are very susceptible to the hepatoxic effects of PA and Japanese quail which are highly resistant to PA. Also, the possible interaction between copper and vitamin A...

A bacterial disease of the American shad (Alosa sapidissima)

Creator:: Rothman, Stanley
Abstract:: For the past six years a bacterial infection has been the cause of large losses of adult, spawning, American shad (Alosa sapidissima) in the Coos, Millicoma and Smith Rivers of Oregon. There was a sizable commercial fishery for shad in these rivers and losses of fish due to this infection...

It’s Self-Discovery, That’s Why it’s Hard: An Exploration of Transfer and Transformation from the ALI Experience

Creator:: Console, Nicholas D.
Abstract:: Outdoor adventure education (OAE) has long held on to the assumption that learning is transferred to participants’ lives (e.g., Gass, 1985). Recent scholars have contested this assumption, noting that learning transfer may not be a complete lens through which learning is viewed. Transformative learning theory (e.g., Mezirow, 1991) has been...

Caspian tern (Hydroprogne caspia) foraging ecology and predation on juvenile salmonids in San Francisco Bay, California

Creator:: Adrean, Lindsay J.
Abstract:: Brooks Island, located in central San Francisco Bay, California, currently supports the largest breeding colony of Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) in the Bay Area, and is one of several proposed relocation sites for some Caspian terns from the world's largest colony in the Columbia River estuary of Oregon. Juvenile salmonids...

Yersinia ruckeri : a characterization of the carrier state in steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri)

Creator:: Hunter, Valerie Antoinette
Abstract:: Fish, asymptomatically infected with Enteric Redmouth Bacterium (ERMB), were tested for their ability to transmit bacteria to non-infected fish. Unstressed carrier fish were unable to transmit enough bacteria to cause epizootics or produce carrier fish. However, when the ERMB carriers were stressed with heat, sufficient bacteria were shed to infect...
