Mortality and kidney histopathology of chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha exposed to virulent and attenuated Renibacterium salmoninarum strains
C. L. O'Farrell, D.G. Elliott, M.L. Landolt
2000, Diseases of Aquatic Organisms (43) 199-209
An isolate of Renibacterium salmoninarum (strain MT 239) exhibiting reduced virulence in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss was tested for its ability to cause bacterial kidney disease (BKD) in chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, a salmonid species more susceptible to BKD. Juvenile chinook salmon were exposed to either 33209, the American Type...

Potential seismic hazards and tectonics of the upper Cook Inlet basin, Alaska, based on analysis of Pliocene and younger deformation
Peter J. Haeussler, Ronald L. Bruhn, Thomas L. Pratt
2000, Geological Society of America Bulletin (112) 1414-1429
The Cook Inlet basin is a northeast-trending forearc basin above the Aleutian subduction zone in southern Alaska. Folds in Cook Inlet are complex, discontinuous structures with variable shape and vergence that probably developed by right-transpressional deformation on oblique-slip faults extending downward into Mesozoic basement beneath the Tertiary basin. The most...
The Halekulani Sand Channel and Makua Shelf sediment deposits: Are they a sand resource for replenishing Waikiki's beaches?

2000, Conference Paper, Carbonate Beaches 2000
The Halekulani Sand Channel and the Makua Shelf off the south shore of Oahu contain at least 1.3 million m3 of sediment that is a possible resource for nourishing degraded sections of Waikiki Beach. A sidescan sonar survey indicates continuous sediment cover within the channel and on the shelf, and...
Sea otters past and present perspectives
James L. Bodkin
2000, Alaska Geographic (7) 73-93
Sea otters have been an important resource for people living along the North Pacific coast for thousands of years. At least two aspects of the sea otters' natural history have linked them with humans: their pelt and their food habits. Sea otter pelts, arguably the finest in the animal...

Revelations from a single strong-motion record retreived during the 27 June 1998 Adana (Turkey) earthquake
M. Çelebi
2000, Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (20) 283-288
During the 27 June 1998 Adana (Turkey) earthquake, only one strong-motion record was retrieved in the region where the most damage occurred. This single record from the station in Ceyhan, approximately 15 km from the epicenter of that earthquake, exhibits characteristics that are related to the dominant frequencies of the...

T.C. Moore Jr., J.C.G. Walker, David K. Rea, C.F.M. Lewis, L.C.K. Shane, A. J. Smith
2000, Paleoceanography (15) 4-18
A boxmodel of the Great Lakes is used to estimate meltwater flow into the North Atlantic between 8000 and 14,000 calendar years B.P. Controls on the model include the oxygen isotopic composition of meltwaters and lake waters as measured in the shells of ostracodes. Outflow rates are highest when oxygen...
Home range and diet of feral cats in Hawaii forests
T.D. Smucker, G.D. Lindsey, S.M. Mosher
2000, Pacific Conservation Biology (6) 229-237
Feral cat Felis catus home range in a Hawaiian montane wet forest and their diet in three habitats - montane wet forest, subalpine dry forest, and lowland dry forest ? were determined to provide baseline ecological data and to assess potential impacts to native terrestrial fauna. Seven cats (three males...
Chronology and geochemistry of late Holocene eolian deposits in the Brandon Sand Hills, Manitoba, Canada
S.A. Wolfe, D.R. Muhs, P.P. David, J. P. McGeehin
2000, Quaternary International (67) 61-74
Accelerator mass spectrometry and conventional radiocarbon age determinations of organic matter from paleosols indicate that the Brandon Sand Hills area of southern Manitoba has been subjected to recurrent intervals of eolian activity in the past 5000 years. Although precise regional correlations are precluded by dating uncertainties, periods of most notable...
Thinking outside the lines: Parks and the quality of life in area communities
J. G. Taylor, N. Burkardt, L. Caughlan, B. L. Lamb
2000, Park Science (20) 14-17
Many national parks, national forests, and other public land units exist in highly changeable regional environments. Often the parks and forests themselves serve as important catalysts of change in the levels of tourism, outdoor recreation participation, and contribution of traveling publics to local and regional economies. Resource managers...
Would ecological landscape restoration make the Bandelier Wilderness more or less of a wilderness?
C.A. Sydoriak, Craig D. Allen, Brian F. Jacobs
2000, Wild Earth (10) 83-90
Is it appropriate to intervene in designated wilderness areas that have been "untrammeled by man" and, as a result, no longer retain their "primeval character and influence" as called for in the 1964 Wilderness Act? We explore this wilderness management dilemma - whether we can or should actively manage wilderness...
Using new video mapping technology in landscape ecology
T.J. Stohlgren, Margot W. Kaye, A.D. McCrumb, Yuka Otsuki, B. Pfister, C.A. Villa
2000, BioScience (50) 529-536
Biological and ecological monitoring continues to play an important role in the conservation of species, natural communities, and landscapes (Spellerberg 1991). Although resource-monitoring programs have advanced knowledge about natural ecosystems, weaknesses persist in our ability to rapidly transfer landscape-scale information to the public. Ecologists continue...

Susceptibility of Arctic char to experimental challenge with Infectious Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHNV) and Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV)
P. E. McAllister, J. Bebak, B.A. Wagner
2000, Journal of Aquatic Animal Health (12) 35-43
Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus were exposed to the fish pathogens infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) to estimate susceptibility of the species to infection. Fish were immersion challenged at 46, 74, and 95 d posthatch for 5 h in viral concentration of 103 or 105 PFU(plaque-forming units)/mL and were...
Rapid activation of gill Na+, K+-ATPase the euryhaline teleost Fundulus heteroclitus
J. M. Mancera, S. D. McCormick
2000, Journal of Experimental Zoology (287) 263-274
The rapid activation of gill Na+,K+-ATPase was analyzed in the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) transferred from low salinity (0.1 ppt) to high salinity (25–35 ppt). In parr and presmolt, Salmo salar gill Na+,K+-ATPase activity started to increase 3 days after transfer. Exposure of Fundulus heteroclitus to 35 ppt seawater (SW)...
Wildlife tradeoffs based on landscape models of habitat preference
C. Loehle, M.S. Mitchell, M. White
2000, Conference Paper, NCASI Proceedings
Wildlife tradeoffs based on landscape models of habitat preference were presented. Multiscale logistic regression models were used and based on these models a spatial optimization technique was utilized to generate optimal maps. The tradeoffs were analyzed by gradually increasing the weighting on a single species in the objective function over...
Distribution of recoveries of Steller's Eiders banded on the lower Alaska Peninsula, Alaska
C.P. Dau, Paul L. Flint, Margaret R. Petersen
2000, Journal of Field Ornithology (71) 541-548
Molting adult Steller's Eiders (Polysticta stelleri) were banded at Izembek Lagoon (1961-1998) and Nelson Lagoon (1995-1997) along the lower Alaska Peninsula to determine breeding distribution and movements. Of 52,985 Steller's Eiders banded, 347 were recovered. The overall low recovery rate may not be indicative of harvest levels but may be...
Triggering of earthquake aftershocks by dynamic stresses
Debi Kilb, J. Gomberg, P. Bodin
2000, Nature (408) 570-574
It is thought that small 'static' stress changes due to permanent fault displacement can alter the likelihood of, or trigger, earthquakes on nearby faults. Many studies of triggering in the nearfield, particularly of aftershocks, rely on these static changes as the triggering agent and consider them only in terms of...
High-Resolution Thermal Inertia Mapping from the Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer
M. T. Mellon, B. M. Jakosky, H. H. Kieffer, P. R. Christensen
2000, Icarus (148) 437-455
High-resolution thermal inertia mapping results are presented, derived from Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) observations of the surface temperature of Mars obtained during the early portion of the MGS mapping mission. Thermal inertia is the key property controlling the diurnal surface temperature variations, and is dependent on...
