Pre- and Post-settlement Processes of Northern Rock Sole (Lepidopsetta polyxystra) in Relation to Interannual Variability in Temperature and Productivity in the Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Fedewa, Erin J.
Abstract:: Understanding the effects of climate variability on growth dynamics and timing of early life history events in marine fishes can provide insights into survival, recruitment and productivity. Field collections (2005, 2007, 2009-2011) were combined with otolith microstructural analysis to examine interannual variation in larval and juvenile growth rates, size at...

Estimation of Population Age Structure, Detection Probability, and Density of Red Tree Voles in Oregon

Creator:: Marks-Fife, Chad A.
Abstract:: Red tree voles (Arborimus longicaudus) are a unique species of Arvicoline rodent found in western Oregon and northwest California. Their preferred habitat is mature and old-growth coniferous forest dominated by Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Tree voles are an important prey item for northern spotted owls and many other predators, but are...

Distribution, habitat use, and growth of juvenile Chinook salmon in the Metolius River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Lovtang, Jens C.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) have been absent from their historic spawning and rearing grounds in the Metolius River Basin in central Oregon since 1968, when fish passage was terminated at the Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project on the Deschutes River. Plans have been developed to reestablish passage of anadromous fish...

Relative abundance and habitat associations of small mammals in two forest types in southern Oregon

Creator:: Johnston, Aaron N.
Abstract:: I studied small-mammal communities and their response to grazing in mixed-conifer forests and oak woodlands in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southern Oregon. My objectives were to (1) compare small-mammal communities among forest types and grazing intensities, (2) identify riparian affiliated species, and (3) describe microhabitat associations. Over two years,...

Migratory behavior and passage of redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in the Donner und Blitzen River, Oregon

Creator:: Anderson, Matthew C.
Abstract:: Salmonids in arid high-elevation streams find themselves at the fringe of their tolerance range. Under the conditions they endure in such environments, long-distance migratory movements among widely dispersed habitats may be an important mechanism for some fish to persist, and even thrive. The Donner und Blitzen (Blitzen) River redband trout...

Demography and habitat selection of northern spotted owls in post-fire landscapes of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Clark, Darren A.
Abstract:: Several large wildfires in southwestern Oregon during the summers of 2001 and 2002 provided the opportunity to investigate the impacts of wildfire on northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina). I used radio-telemetry and demographic surveys to describe demographic performance and habitat selection of spotted owls in the areas burned by...

A review of the deep water Liparidae from the coast of Oregon and adjacent waters

Creator:: Stein, David L.
Abstract:: Descriptions and distributions are given of 28 species of Liparidae occurring or possibly occurring below 200 m between San Francisco and northern Vancouver Island, with keys for their identifications. Nine genera are included: Careproctus, Elassodiscus, Lipariscus, Nectoliparis, Rhinoliparis, Acantholiparis, Paraliparis, and two new genera are described, Odontoliparis and Osteodiscus. Eight...

Life histories of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Columbia River estuary as inferred from scale and otolith microchemistry

Creator:: Campbell, Lance A.
Abstract:: Despite evidence that juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) utilize North Pacific estuaries for growth and salinity acclimation, research in the Columbia River estuary has lead to opposing hypotheses about the estuary’s importance as a salmon rearing environment. Many contemporary tagging studies indicate that salmon residency within the estuary is short...

Juvenile coho salmon movement and migration through tide gates

Creator:: Bass, Arthur
Abstract:: Tidal marshlands in the upper estuary ecotone provide essential habitat for juvenile salmonids. In this environment, salmonids grow rapidly and acclimate to saltwater. Worldwide, tidal marshes have been diked and drained to provide agricultural and residential land. Tide gates are one-way doors integrated into dike systems that prevent saltwater flooding...

Daily activity patterns, survival, and movements of red tree voles (Arborimus longicaudus) in western Oregon

Creator:: Swingle, James Kerr
Abstract:: We radiocollared a sample of 61 red tree voles in Douglas County, Oregon and monitored their movements to determine daily, seasonal, and sexual differences in behavior and home range attributes. We also collected information on nest attributes, survival, and dispersal of the radiocollared voles. Individual voles were monitored for periods...
