Greater sage-grouse movements and habitat use during winter in central Oregon

Creator:: Bruce, Jennifer R.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a sagebrush obligate species, has contracted in extent by nearly half its original distribution. This is primarily due to habitat loss and degradation over the past 150 years. During winter, sage-grouse depend completely on sagebrush habitat for food and cover, yet sage-grouse winter ecology has been...

Spatial Variation in Ecosystem Carbon Stocks and Emissions Resulting from Land-use Conversion: Two Studies in Mangrove Forests of the Dominican Republic

Creator:: Giovannoni, Leila R.
Abstract:: Mangrove forests store more organic carbon across ecosystem carbon pools than most other coastal and forested ecosystems, and are subject to high global rates of deforestation. For these reasons, they are recognized as prime candidates for inclusion in climate change mitigation strategies. However, the ecological drivers of regional and micro-scale...

Dispersal Behavior in African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) : Tradeoffs Between Nutritional Resources and Disease Exposure

Creator:: Spaan, Robert Steven
Abstract:: Dispersal facilitates population health and maintains resilience in species via gene flow. Adult dispersal occurs in some species, is often facultative, and is poorly understood, but has important management implications, particularly with respect to disease spread. Although the role of adult dispersal in spreading disease has been documented, the potential...

Towards an Integrated Decision Tool for Managing Wildlife with Visitor Restrictions in Glacier Bay National Park

Creator:: Whitlock, Steven L.
Abstract:: The National Park Service has a dual mission of providing public access to exceptional natural resources, but in a manner such that these resources are left “unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” Human activities in parks undoubtedly affect wildlife, but the degree to which such activities cause impairment is...

Seasonal movement patterns and habitat use of westslope cutthroat trout in two headwater tributary streams of the John Day River

Creator:: Starcevich, Steven J.
Abstract:: Radiotelemetry was used to study the seasonal movements and habitat use of adult westslope cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki lewisi in Roberts Creek and Rail Creek, headwater tributaries of the John Day River, Oregon, from September 2000 to December 2001. The objectives were to (1) describe adult cutthroat trout life history...

Breeding site selection by coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in relation to large wood additions and factors that drive reproductive success

Creator:: Clark, Steven
Abstract:: The fitness of female Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) with respect to breeding behavior can be partitioned into at least four components: survival to reproduction, competition for breeding sites, success of egg incubation, and suitability of the local environment near breeding sites for early rearing of juveniles. Accordingly, breeding sites should...

A macroscopic to microscopic study of the effects of barotrauma and the potential for long-term survival in Pacific rockfish

Creator:: Pribyl, Alena L.
Abstract:: Depleted species of rockfish (Sebastes spp.) from the Northeast Pacific experience high discard mortality due to "barotrauma," induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Research suggests rockfish have the potential to survive barotrauma if immediately recompressed, but the potential for long-term recovery is unknown. In this project, we...

Mercury bioaccumulation in remote subalpine lakes : assessing the influence of invasive trout on salamanders

Creator:: Pfleeger, Adam
Abstract:: Mercury (Hg) contamination is a global conservation threat to freshwater ecosystems, detected in even the protected lakes of Olympic National Park (Washington, USA). Although considered some of the most remote and pristine US ecosystems, these lakes are currently subject to multiple environmental stressors, including climate change and fish introductions; adding...

Salmon, Saws, and Sense of Place: Using a Discrete Choice Experiment to Examine Place Relationships and Preferences for Stream Restoration on the Quinault Indian Reservation

Creator:: Robinson, Kerrick W.
Abstract:: The social sciences have the capacity to contribute to natural resource management through investigations of human dynamics associated with the environment. Sense of place (SOP), the formed relationships between an individual and the environment, has been considered a fundamental aspect of human well-being and can contribute to more holistic understanding...

Carbon Dynamics Associated with Land Cover Change in Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems of the Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Creator:: Arifanti, Virni B.
Abstract:: The Mahakam Delta which was once among the largest mangrove forests in Indonesia, has been subjected to dramatic changes in structure and function due to massive shifts from mangrove forest to shrimp ponds and oil and gas development. To understand the impacts of mangrove loss to the greenhouse gas (GHG)...
