Habitat use, spatial ecology, and stable isotope variability of the Pacific harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardii) along the Oregon coast

Creator:

Steingass, Sheanna M.

Abstract:

Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) are one of Oregon’s most common coastal predators, numbering between 10,000 and 12,000 individuals (Brown et al. 2005b). They consume more than 149 species or types of marine prey within the Pacific Northwest, which include a large variety of commercially important fisheries species. Despite...

Distribution, structure, and function of marine ecological communities in the northern California Current upwelling ecosystem

Creator:

Reese, Douglas Charles

Abstract:

Within systems characterized by substantial spatial and temporal variability, abundances of organisms tend to be higher in localized areas. Within the northern California Current system, the identification of such marine, biological hotspots would be of great importance to resource managers, conservationists, and research planners, and is consequently a growing area...
