Light and the behavior of pelagic animals during night and crepuscular periods

Creator:: Wisdom, Daniel W.
Abstract:: Light plays an important role in ecological processes in the ocean both day and night. While relatively inexpensive, off the shelf instruments are available to measure Photosynthetically Active Radiation or PAR during the day, efforts to quantify light levels at night have proven more difficult. The goal of this work...

Bio-physical interactions of small pelagic fish schools and zooplankton prey in the California Current System over multiple scales

Creator:: Kaltenberg, Amanda May
Abstract:: Small pelagic fish represent a critical trophic link between plankton and large predators in marine upwelling ecosystems such as the California Current System. Populations of these fish are highly variable over time and are characterized by extreme fluctuations in abundance, which have significant ecosystem impacts. The causes driving this instability...

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the South Pacific breeding grounds : an allocation from feeding areas and an abundance estimate of whales specific to French Polynesia waters

Creator:: Gibb, Giselle Renee
Abstract:: South Pacific humpback whales were devastated by commercial whaling in their Antarctic feeding areas during the 20th century. Understanding migratory connections and current abundance of these isolated breeding stocks is crucial for the allocation of historical Antarctic catches in population dynamic models used to assess current recovery. However, only a...

The dynamic shear moduli of blubber for selected large whale species

Creator:: Summers, Michael P.
Abstract:: Whale blubber is the insular tissue layer located between the dermis and the superficial fascia layer which sheathes the whale's musculature. It is made up of a lipid matrix ramified with strong, structural collagen and elastic fiber bundles, but little is known of its mechanical properties. Knowing these properties adds...

Analysis of the Mimbres ground stone assemblage, Lake Roberts Vista Site (LA 71877), Gila National Forest, Lake Roberts, New Mexico

Creator:: Bird-Gauvin, Sally
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to see if there were technological differences in ground stone manufacturing and use from a single site that had been occupied for over 600 years, A.D. 550-A.D. 1150, and had multiple occupations that evolved over time (Late Pithouse Phases, Georgetown, San Francisco, and Three...

Creator:: Bird, Jill M.
Abstract:: Upper Cambrian through Middle Devonian carbonate andclastic sequences of the northern part of the Fish Creek Rangerepresent shallow-shelf sedimentation in the Cordilleranmiogeosyncline. The lower and middle Paleozoic section exposedin the northern Fish Creek Range fits well within regional facies patterns and paleogeographic reconstructions.The Upper Cambrian Dunderberg Shale was deposited in...

Resource allocation in four syntopic species of marine diving birds

Creator:: Scott, James Michael, 1941-
Abstract:: During 1969-1971 I studied patterns of resource allocation and behavioral interaction among Brandt's Cormorants, Pelagic Cormorants, Common Murres and Pigeon Guillemots in the area of a breeding colony on Yaquina Head on the central Oregon coast. Extensive studies of the breeding colony were combined with detailed observations of the distribution,...

Attracting birds of prey for rodent control

Creator:: Olson, Shilah, Lamson, Karen, Omeg, Michael Kent, Tuck, Brian V., Kerr, Susan, Hammond, Ellen L., and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: Rodents are an increasing problem in fields and pastures. Birds of prey play a vital part in integrated pest management of rodent pests. This publication succinctly describes the value to farmers and ranchers of barn owls and American kestrels for rodent control, and ways to help build up local populations...

Human platelet adhesion to heparinized silica surfaces

Creator:: Bolsinger, Travis Samuel Sebastian
Abstract:: Heparin was modified and immobilized to surface-activated silica surfaces using two different reaction schemes. End-aminated heparin was reacted with 2-iminothiolane to produce free thiol groups at the terminal ends of the heparin chains. The end-thiolated heparin was immobilized by reaction with a pyridyl disulfide activated poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-poly[ethylene oxide] triblock...

Twenty-year changes in riparian bird communities of east-central Oregon

Creator:: Ellis, Michael S.
Abstract:: Over the last 50 years, riparian zones in the semi-arid West have gained recognition as disproportionately important habitats for both breeding bird communities and agricultural operations. Despite growing interest in exploring avian-habitat relationships in these systems to better inform land management, few studies have attempted to describe temporal changes in...
