Genetic and meristic relationships of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) residing above and below barriers in two coastal basins

Creator:: Griswold, Kitty E.
Abstract:: An investigation of the genetic and meristic patterns of coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in two coastal basins, one in Oregon and one in Alaska, revealed varying degrees of differences among populations within each site. Coastal cutthroat trout collected from seven sites above and below barriers from Elk River,...

The influence of local fidelity and recruitment on population dynamics and specialized foraging of humpback whales in Glacier Bay and Icy Strait, Alaska

Creator:: Pierszalowski, Sophie Penny
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae, Borowski 1781) in the North Pacific migrate from mid- to high- latitude summer feeding grounds along the Pacific Rim, including areas off the coasts of the U.S., Canada, Russia and eastern Asia, to tropical breeding grounds each winter along Pacific coasts of Mexico and Central America...

Isozymic and cytological studies on populations of the introduced bee species, Megachile (Eutricharaea) rotundata and M. (Eutricharaea) apicalis

Creator:: Chen, Xiaoshe
Abstract:: Thirteen New World populations of Megachile rotundata and M. apicalis and two Old World populations of M. rotundata were analyzed at 23 enzyme loci using cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Conventional and G- or C-banded karyotypes were also examined in these populations. The principal findings are (1) No differences were found in...

Spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes

Creator:: Gomez-Uchida, Daniel
Abstract:: Pacific rockfishes (genus Sebastes) have attracted wide scientific and public interest from an evolutionary, fishery and conservation standpoints. This dissertation addresses several hypotheses involving spatial and temporal scales of genetic change in two overfished rockfishes, darkblotched (S. crameri) and canary rockfish (S. pinniger), using statistical analyses of genetic variation within...

Genetic diversity in coastal cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden in Prince William Sound, Alaska

Creator:: Griswold, Kitty E.
Abstract:: Genetic diversity of two salmonid species, Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma) and coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki) in Prince William Sound, Alaska were examined at multiple spatial scales with three molecular markers. Pleistocene glaciers covered what is now Prince William Sound 8,000- 12,000 years ago and both species colonized the...

Quantitative genetic structure of Douglas-fir populations from southwest Oregon

Creator:: Hamlin, James
Abstract:: The major objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the extent to which southwest Oregon populations of Douglas-fir [Pseudotsuga menziesii var menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) differ in quantitative genetic structure (QGS); (2) to determine whether differences in QGS are associated with the environments from which populations originate; and (3) to...

Variation in mitochondrial DNA and allozymes discriminates early and late forms of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers, Alaska

Creator:: Adams, Noah Swayambhu
Abstract:: Genetic differences between early and late forms of Alaskan chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were identified using two genetic approaches: mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis and protein electrophoresis. The study populations consisted of early- and late-run chinook salmon in each of the Kenai and Kasilof rivers in Alaska, and a single population...

Patterns of distribution, abundance, and change over time in the marine bird community of Prince William Sound, Alaska, 1989-2012

Creator:: Cushing, Daniel A.
Abstract:: Over recent decades, the marine ecosystems of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska have experienced the concurrent effects of a major anthropogenic disturbance, the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), and a dynamic atmospheric-oceanic environment. Studies of top marine consumers can provide insights into processes of ecosystem change. Using data collected...

Natural history and evolution of a color polymorphism in Rana pipiens, the northern leopard frog

Creator:: Hoffman, Eric A.
Abstract:: A primary goal of population genetics is to identify the role of microevolutionary forces in producing observed patterns of molecular and phenotypic variation. I conducted four studies in the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens, to determine just how mutation, migration, genetic drift, and selection influenced, genetic structure of mitochondrial DNA...

Analysis of Bacteroidales 16S rRNA gene sequences from a geographically isolated human population

Creator:: Petersen, Carolyn A.
Abstract:: Standard methods of measuring fecal pollution in water do not distinguish between human and non-human sources. Molecular technology enabled the development of host-specific markers that distinguish fecal sources. Human specific PCR primers, HF183F and HF134F, were designed based on phylogenetic analyses of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the Bacteroidales...
