Demographic and life history characteristics influence the cytonuclear composition of mosquitofish populations
Kim T. Scribner, John C. Avise
A. Beaumont, editor(s)
1994, Book chapter, Genetics and evolution of aquatic organisms
Experimental laboratory crosses and population experiments reveal significant differences in individual life-history traits and population demography between two related species of mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis and G. holbrooki. With respect to life-history traits, progeny from G. holbrooki exhibit larger size at birth and earlier age at sexual maturity than do progeny...
Genetic diversity in Arctic-nesting geese: Implications for management and conservation
Craig R. Ely, Kim T. Scribner
Richard E. McCabe, Kelly G. Wadsworth, editor(s)
1994, Conference Paper, Transactions of the fifty-ninth North American wildlife and natural resources conference
The North Pacific Rim harbors breeding populations of many unique wildlife resources, of which waterfowl are among the most abundant and taxonomically diverse. Arctic nesting geese in particular are wide-spread in distribution (Figure 1), and though only seasons residents, they have evolved many unique adaptations for breeding in northern latitudes....
Prehistoric Alaska: The land

Penny Rennick, editor(s)
1994, Alaska Geographic (21) 6-23
Many Alaskans know the dynamic nature of Alaska’s landscape firsthand. The 1964 earthquake, the 1989 eruption of Mount Redoubt volcano, the frequent earthquakes in the Aleutians and the ever-shifting meanders of the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers remind them of constant changes to the land. These changes are part of the...
Shorebirds in western North America: Late 1800s to late 1900s

1994, Book chapter, A century of avifaunal change in western North America (Studies in Avian Biology no. 15)
Only anecdotal information is available to assess whether populations of the 47 shorebird species that breed or winter west of the Rocky Mountains changed in size or distribution during the past century. Unregulated hunting from 1870 to 1927 reduced populations of several species, at least temporarily, and was a factor...

The status of sea ducks in the North Pacific Rim: Toward their conservation and management

Richard E. McCabe, Kelly G. Wadsworth, editor(s)
1994, Conference Paper, Transactions of the fifty-ninth North American wildlife and natural resources conference
Sea ducks (tribe Mergini after Johnsgard 1960) are the most northerly distributed ducks, and species diversity is greatest in the North Pacific. They exploit a diversity of inshore and offshore marine habitats during the non-breeding season, and their use of habitat during breeding varies from coastal through freshwater wetlands of...

1994, Book chapter, Marine mammals and the <i>Exxon Valdez</i>
On 24 March 1989, the T/V Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound (PWS). eventually releasing 11 million gallons of Prudhoe Bay crude oil. The subsequent oil slick extended from PWS southwest along the Kenai Peninsula, past Kodiak Island to the Alaska Peninsula (Galt and Payton 1990). The spill...

1994, Book chapter, Marine mammals and the <i>Exxon Valdez</i>
In the months following the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), 994 sea otters (Enhydra lutris) from oil-spill-affected areas died (Doroff et al. 1993). Carcasses collected from these areas and otters that died in rehabilitation centers are included in this number. The actual number that died was probably much greater.Within days...

Pacific brant (Branta bernicla) nest from the Yukon-Kuskokwim (Y-) Delta in southwestern Alaska along the coast of North America to the central Canadian arctic (Pacific Flyway Subcommittee on Pacific Brant 1992) (Figure 1). Birds from this population also nest in the Canadian arctic islands south of Prince Patrick Island and...

1994, Book chapter, Marine mammals and the <i>Exxon Valdez</i>
The Exxron Valdez oil spill (EVOS) on 24 March 1989 threatened extensive areas of prime sea otter (Enhydra lutris) habitat along the coasts of south-central Alaska. The spill occurred in northeastern Prince William Sound (PWS), and oil moved rapidly south and west through PWS into the Gulf of Alaska. Much...
US North Slope gas and Asian LNG markets
E. D. Attanasi
1994, Resources Policy (20) 247-255
Prospects for export of liquified natural gas (LNG) from Alaska's North Slope are assessed. Projected market conditions to 2010 show that new LNG capacity beyond announced expansions will be needed to meet regional demand and that supplies will probably come from outside the region. The estimated delivered costs of likely...

1994, Book chapter, Marine mammals and the <i>Exxon Valdez</i>
Following the Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), Prudhoe Bay crude oil from the vessel spread on the sea surface and covered coastal shores from western Prince William Sound (PWS) to the Alaska Peninsula. In PWS alone. acute mortality of sca otters at the time of the spill was estimated to...

On June 27, 1992, the Crater Peak vent on the south side of Mt. Spurr awoke from 39 years of dormancy and burst into subplinian eruption after 10 months of elevated seismicity. Two more eruptions followed in August and September. The volcano lies 125-km west of...
Comparison of deep structure along three transects of the western North American continental margin

1993, Tectonics (12) 1420-1435
Similarities in geology and potential field data that have in the past been noted among the regions of southern Alaska, southern Vancouver Island, and central California are now seen to be accompanied by similarities in deep crustal structure. A number of tectonic elements have been identified in the deep structure...
