In considering the lack of support for mental health conditions in NCAA institutions, and the mental and psychological issues that come...
The vegetative communities in the subalpine meadows of Hunts
Cove, Mt. Jefferson, and some of the major environmental factors
affecting them were studied in the summer of 1971. Hunts Cove is in
the subalpine Tsuga mertensiana parkland of the Central Oregon High
Cascades. Habitats within the Cove vary considerably; elevation...
Researchers rely on bioeconomic models to guide research and generate fishery management advice for commercial fisheries. Due partly to a paradigm shift towards ecosystem based fishery management, increasing complexity in the characteristics of the problems has meant that bioeconomic simulation models are becoming more prevalent in the fisheries literature. However...
The West Coast salmon fishery presents several complexities that have received little attention in the fisheries economics literature. Two of those complexities are reviewed and analyzed in this dissertation. The first, salmon fishermen participate in alternative fisheries within a season demonstrating a complex switching behavior between different species. Second, the...
Seafood is one of the most diverse and highly traded natural resources worldwide. Widespread evidence of increased seafood fraud and IUU fishing has placed enormous pressure on industry and governments to determine the authenticity, safety, and sustainability of seafood. The recently established US National Ocean Council has addressed several gaps...
Thirteen different habitat parameters were measured either quantitatively or
qualitatively around seven different Salix (willow) species on a defined reach of stream
on the southwestern slope of Steens Mountain in southeastern Oregon in order to both
broaden the current information base of riparian ecology and inform future willow
plantings aimed...
