Planktivorous Auklets (Aethia pusilla and A. cristatella) nesting on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska as indicators of marine conditions in the northern Bering Sea

Creator:: Gall, Adrian
Abstract:: Monitoring reproductive success, prey species composition, and colony size of marine birds has been proposed as a method of assessing changes in marine systems that are otherwise difficult to sample (Cairns 1987). I measured inter-annual and intra-seasonal variability in reproductive parameters, taxonomic composition of the diet, and adult body condition...

Density currents induced by freezing in a shallow polar ocean : some heuristic models

Creator:: Badan-Dangon, Antoine Renaud Fabrice
Abstract:: An ice cover which progrades over a shallow ocean in the form of an ice front may induce a baroclinic flow in the underlying water, provided that the brine excluded from the freezing surface layer is mixed rapidly through out the underlying water column. A series of models are developed...

A study estimating seed potential of Noble fir (Abies procera Rehd.), and several factors affecting its seed production

Creator:: Scurlock, John Hart
Abstract:: Noble fir (Abies procera Rehd.) is an upper elevation timber species native to the Cascade Range and (occasionally) the Coast Ranges of Washington and Oregon. It has always been a commerical species; however, recent changes in forest practices to increase harvests in the elevations where this tree occurs has caused...

Size classes, population structure, growth, sex ratio, and size and age at maturity of Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun (Brachyura:Majidae) off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Tester, Patricia A.
Abstract:: During eleven cruises conducted off the Oregon continental slope from April 1973 to March 1975, approximately 1600 specimens of the majid crab Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun were collected. A time sequence of size frequency histograms and bivariate plots of allometric measurements were used to determine size classes, population structure, growth and...

Modeling the energetics of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Malavear, Maria Yolanda Garcia
Abstract:: A dynamic bioenergetic model for Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) was built using the STELLA simulation modeling system. The model is intended as an aid for the exploration of ecological questions regarding growth and survival of immature Steller sea lions (ages 1-3) living along the Oregon coast under different nutritional...

Morphological and endocrine correlates of dominance in male ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus)

Creator:: Lumas, Kathy A.
Abstract:: An investigation of the correlation between a number of behavioral, morphological and physiological parameters and dominance status of male Ring-necked Pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) was undertaken. Dominant males performed significantly more aggressive behaviors than subordinates and a higher proportion of these behaviors was directed toward distantly ranked subordinates. Animals could also...

The classification and structure of marine macrobenthic assemblages at Arthur Harbor, Anvers Island, Antarctica

Creator:: Richardson, M. D. (Michael D.)
Abstract:: In January-February 1971 five replicate 0.07 m² Van Veen grabs were obtained from each of 12 stations in Arthur Harbor and nine Van Veen grabs were obtained from two stations in nearby Bismark Strait. The 69 grab samples yielded 78,395 individuals which were separated into 282 taxa, including 108 species...

Dynamics of crab larvae (Anomura, Brachyura) off the central Oregon coast, 1969-1971

Creator:: Lough, Robert Gregory, 1943-
Abstract:: Bimonthly plankton samples were collected from 1969 through 1971 along a transect off the central Oregon continental shelf (44° 39. l'N) to document the species of crab larvae present, their seasonality, and their onshore-offshore distribution in relation to seasonal changes in oceanographic conditions. A comprehensive key with plates is given...

Geographic variation in central Oregon ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) : seed germination; seed, wing, and cone morphology; seed color

Creator:: Weber, John C., 1948-
Abstract:: Geographic variation was investigated among 225 locations from five geographically disjunct regions in central Oregon. Characters included: germination speed and uniformity in two test environments differing in stratification period and incubation temperature; weight, three dimensions and three 'angles' of seeds; weight and three dimensions of wings; cone length and scale...

Tactics of Pacific Northwest albacore fishermen - 1968, 1969, 1970

Creator:: Keene, Donald Frederick
Abstract:: This study examines the relationship between fishing activities of Pacific Northwest albacore fishermen and the availability of albacore. Tactical responses of troll-boat fishermen were compared to changes in daily apparent albacore abundance. Tactical responses included boat aggregation and total applied effort (number of boats) within a particular area, and net...
