Headwater stream macroinvertebrates of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon

Creator:: Frady, Charles H.
Abstract:: Recent studies of headwater streams have demonstrated their importance to overall watershed biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and energy flux. However, little attention has been paid to long-term effects of forest harvest on macroinvertebrate communities in headwater streams. This study investigated headwater stream macroinvertebrate communities in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon,...

Transferrin variation and population differentiation in black-tailed deer

Creator:: Chinn, Edwin Kan Kit
Abstract:: Transferrin of Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) displayed two types of polymorphism. One type involved differences in sialic acid content. The nature of the other polymorphism is not known. A hypothesis for three codominant alleles at a common locus was proposed and tested by using the Hardy-Weinberg Principle. The...

Oxygen consumption during acclimation to increasing salinity in the freshwater euryhaline cichlid Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1757)

Creator:: Alablani, Salam A.
Abstract:: Two sets of experiments measured changes in the oxygen consumption of the euryhaline teleost Oreochromis niloticus during acclimation to progressively increased salinity. Six acrylic respirometers were constructed for this purpose. The salinities tested were 9, 18, 27 and 36 ppt, with 36 ppt considered as full strength seawater. Fish were...

The effects of rotational grazing and prescribed burning on bobwhite populations in south Texas

Creator:: Wilson, Marcia H.
Abstract:: Short-term effects of 3 grazing systems and prescribed burning on bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations were investigated on the Welder Wildlife Refuge near Corpus Christi, Texas, during spring (April through June) and fall (September through October) of 1976 and 1977. Two rotational systems, high intensity-low frequency (HILF) and four-pasture, deferred-rotation (4PDR),...

Effects of habitat manipulations on California quail in western Oregon

Creator:: Oates, Russell M.
Abstract:: The effects of disking, food plantings, and wheat plantings on a population of California quail (Lophortyx californicus) were studied from fall 1976 to spring 1978 on the E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon. Twelve 16.2-ha study sites were established: 3 study sites for each treatment and 3 control sites. Disked areas,...

Evaluation of Pacific Lamprey Entosphenus Tridentatus Anatomical Structures as Records of Age and Isotope Histories

Creator:: Pelekai, Keala N.
Abstract:: The anadromous Pacific Lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) is a biologically and culturally important species native to the North Pacific Ocean and its adjacent freshwater tributaries. Pacific Lamprey have experienced declines in abundance and distribution throughout their native range, highlighting a need for further research on the species to better inform conservation...

Influence of water hardness on gill accumulation and acute toxicity of aluminum in rainbow trout

Creator:: Bustaman, Sjahrul
Abstract:: Rainbow trout were exposed to aluminum at pH 7.25 and 8.25 and four hardnesses (10, 30, 80, and 120 ppm CaCO₃) for 96 hours in a continuous-flow system and mortality and aluminum accumulation in the gills were determined. Temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen were measured daily for each treatment. Dissolved...

Use of range sites by pronghorns in south central Oregon

Creator:: Herrig, Daniel M.
Abstract:: Relative use by pronghorns (Antilocapra americana) of 16 range sites was studied during summer and fall of 1971 and 1972 on Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, an area of high desert rangeland in south central Oregon. A Relative Use Index was developed based upon 1533 observations of pronghorns located on...

Relative resistance of the Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and the Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) to the parasitic larvae (Glochidia) of the freshwater mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera)

Creator:: Fustish, Charles A.
Abstract:: The relative resistance of the coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and the chinook salmon (O. tshawyscha) to the parasitic larvae (glochidia) of the freshwater mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) was studied in an attempt to determine why the coho appeared to be more resistant. Natural and acquired antibody was sought in the mucus...

Habitat factors affecting pronghorn use of playas in south central Oregon

Creator:: Good, James Ronald
Abstract:: Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) use of four playas (intermittent lakebeds) on Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge (NAR) in south central Oregon was studied during the summers of 1974 and 1975. Percent canopy cover of playa vegetation, plant phenology, percent desiccated vegetation, soil moisture, available surface water and pronghorn use of range...
