  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Testing the effectiveness of an acoustic deterrent for grey whales along the Oregon Coast Author: Lagerquist, Barbara, Windsor, Martha, Mate, Bruce This study was conducted to determine whether a low-powered sound source could be effective at deterring gray whales from areas that may prove harmful to them. With increased interest in the development of marine renewal energy along the Oregon coast the concern that such development may pose a collision or entanglement risk for gray whales. A successful acoustic deterrent could act as a mitigation tool to prevent harm to whales from such risks. In this study, an acoustic device was moored on the seafloor in the pathway of migrating gray whales off Yaquina Head on the central Oregon coast. Shore-based observers tracked whales with a theodolite (surveyor’s tool) to accurately locate whales as they passed the headland. Individual locations of different whales/whale groups as well as tracklines of the same whale/whale groups were obtained and compared between times with the acoustic device was transmitting and when it was off. Observations were conducted on 51 d between January 1 and April 15, 2012. A total of 143 individual whale locations were collected for a total of 243 whales, as well as 57 tracklines for a total of 142 whales. Inclement weather and equipment problems resulted in very small sample sizes, especially during experimental periods, when the device was transmitting. Because of this, the results of this study were inconclusive. We feel that another season of field testing is warranted to successfully test the effectiveness of the deterrent, but recommend increasing the zone of influence to 3 km to ensure the collection of adequate sample sizes. Steps have been taken to acquire the necessary federal research permit modification to authorize the increased zone of influence and to modify the acoustic device for the increased power. With these changes we are confident we will be able to determine whether the deterrent is effective at deflecting gray whales. A successful deterrent device may serve as a valuable mitigation tool to protect gray whales, and other baleen whales, in the event that marine energy development poses a collision or entanglement risk.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Genomics of migration : from marine distributions of salmonids to mechanisms of olfactory and magnetic cue perception for natal homing Author: Bellinger, M. Renee Substantial scientific investment has been directed towards understanding factors that influence distribution patterns and animals' remarkable ability for precise orientation and navigation, yet fundamental gaps in our knowledge remain. In my dissertation, I applied emerging genetic technologies to conduct a top-down and bottom-up investigation of animal movement and cue perception. First, in partnership with Project CROOS and the California Salmon Genetic Stock Identification project, stock-specific, marine migratory distributions of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were characterized for five consecutive months (2010) over 1000 km of coastline. A statistical model was developed to provide measures of relative stockspecific abundance, insights into broad factors that influence migratory distribution, and for fisheries management applications. For the second component of my dissertation, I studied specialized olfactory cells of salmonids that are proposed to contain nanometer-sized magnetite crystals that interact with earth strength magnetic fields to transduce them into neural signals. The transcriptome profiles of candidate magnetoreceptor and non-magnetic cells isolated from olfactory rosette tissue, whole olfactory rosettes, and blood and muscle tissue were characterized from ~661 million Illumina RNA-seq reads. A total of 1,006 differentially expressed genes were identified in the magnetic cell sample type. Results, consistent with having identified genes involved in magnetite crystal formation in fish, were used to develop a genetic model of magnetic sensory perception. Finally, to provide insights into olfaction-based homing that takes place in freshwater, the olfactory repertoire of salmonids was inferred from the Rainbow trout (O. mykiss) genome and compared to that of 15 other teleosts and the jawless fish, sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus), an ancient species. The abundance and diversity of trace amine-associated and V2R-like genes suggests that these classes of chemoreceptors have biological importance. These findings have relevance for resolving if salmon and other marine organisms imprint on magnetic fields, and contribute to our understanding of how magnetic sense, olfaction, and genetic programming are involved in migratory distributions.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Indian diaspora : situating family building patterns in a migrant community Author: Satra, Rupal The purpose of this study is to ethnographically examine traditionally prescribed notions of sons and daughters in an Indian diasporic community located on Devon Avenue in Chicago. Informed by the association between "ideal" and "actual" family building patterns, this study situates reproductive behaviors and demographic outcomes in its local context examining preferences of family size, sex composition, and the persistence of son preference in this Indian migrant community. This study applies a mixed methods approach—quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection—in answering the following research questions: (1) What are the "desired" and "actual" family size and sex composition patterns among married Asian Indian couples? (2) Do migrant Asian Indian married couples express son preference—how and why? Study findings indicate that son preference continues to persist in this diasporic community revealing three overlapping themes related to the reorientation of kinship networks, the transnational nature of patriarchy, and the dynamic relationship between modernity and tradition.
