Through a phylogenetic study Using LECCYCIA nucleotide sequences and a survey of historical Botanical literature, we propose clarifications in the nomenclature of Lupinus oreganus and Lupinus biddlei. The former taxon has been incorrectly classified as Lupinus sulphurcus ssp. kincaidii and recently as L. oreganus var. kincaidii. The latter has recently...
A study to determine the relationship between plant species and eight terrain variables and between thirty-one vegetation types
and the terrain variables was conducted in a 4, 000 square mile area
south and east of Tucson, Arizona. The eight terrain variables
included elevation, parent material, macrorelief, landform type,
drainage density,...
The distribution and geographic range of Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) have been reduced by 56% since European settlement. Although loss and fragmentation of sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitats have been cited as the primary causes for the decline of the species, degradation of existing habitat also has been considered an important...

I studied bird and rodent nesting in woodpecker-excavated
cavities in pifion-juniper (Pinus edulis-Juniperus monosperma) (P-J)
woodland in southeastern Colorado during the spring and summer of 1987
and 1988. Two related investigations were conducted: one described
characteristics of habitat used by birds and rodents nesting in
woodpecker-excavated cavities and the other...
Thirteen different habitat parameters were measured either quantitatively or
qualitatively around seven different Salix (willow) species on a defined reach of stream
on the southwestern slope of Steens Mountain in southeastern Oregon in order to both
broaden the current information base of riparian ecology and inform future willow
plantings aimed...
Sage grouse are a species of concern because their abundance, distribution, and productivity have declined during the past century. Sage grouse productivity has been linked to specific habitat components including particular forbs and native bunchgrasses. Studies on the effects of fire were conducted in Southeastern Oregon in mountain big sagebrush...
