Characterization of pools and reaches with salmonid species in the Alsea and Nestucca Sub-Basins

Creator:: McKinney, Shaun P.
Abstract:: Streams in the Alsea and Nestucca Sub-Basins were characterized using suites of habitat attributes at the pool and reach scales. These suites were analyzed using a multivariate process with the Multiple Response Permutation Procedure (MRPP) to test for differences in groups. There were differences in the suite of habitat variables...

Seasonal dynamics of a riparian food web in the Oregon Coast Range mountains

Creator:: Robillard, Amanda Lynn
Abstract:: Riparian areas are eco-tones where aquatically- and terrestrially-derived insect biomass is exchanged between habitats, presenting consumers with new sources of energy, and resulting in a reciprocal subsidy. The relative contribution of energy exchange and the resulting impacts on vertebrate riparian consumers, such as fish or birds, remains poorly understood. We...

Survival and behavior of juvenile steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in two small estuaries in Oregon

Creator:: Romer, Jeremy D.
Abstract:: A number of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations are at risk throughout Oregon, including five populations that are federally listed as threatened or endangered. However, little is known about behavior and survival of these fish as they transition from freshwater to seawater. We investigated whether estuarine survival varies on a temporal...

Issues surrounding the Biota of the Tualatin River Basin

Creator:: Li, Judith L., Gregory, Stanley V., and Oregon State University. Water Resources Research Institute
Abstract:: Tributaries of the Tualatin River cascade down high gradient slopes for relatively short distances, then flow into the low gradient mainstem which meanders for much of its length. The gentle, east-facing slopes of Oregon's Coast Range provide the geomorphic and climatic template for the watershed's patterns of discharge, water quality,...

An analysis of guild structure of avian communities, Columbia River, Oregon

Creator:: Noyes, Cecilia Lea Barham
Abstract:: Effects of habitat and season on guild structure of avian communities were examined for islands in the estuary zone of the Columbia River, Oregon. Bird species were classified into guilds according to their major food item, typical foraging substrate, and foraging behavior. Variation in community structure indices (number of guilds,...

Food selection, home range, and movements of coyotes on and off a sanctuary in Klamath Basin

Creator:: Shoemaker, Suzanne
Abstract:: Radio-telemetry and scat analysis were used to investigate daily and seasonal movement patterns and food selection of a protected coyote population on Tulelake National Wildlife Refuge (TLNWR) and adjacent Lava Beds National Monument (LABE) in northeastern California. Study emphasis was on evaluation of movements on and off the sanctuary, and...

From continua to patches : longitudinal patterns in the Middle Fork of the John Day River, Oregon

Creator:: Wright, Kristopher Keith
Abstract:: The Middle Fork John Day River is composed of low gradient, alluvial valley segments separated by constrained, canyon-like reaches, and has a history of multiple land-uses. These factors can alter the physical and biological structure of streams, and disrupt the longitudinal river continuum. I examined habitat, fish, macroinvertebrates, and primary...

Life history variation and movement among three populations of redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) in the middle Deschutes Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Groves, Kristy L.
Abstract:: Redband trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) are found over a wide range of environmental conditions and are known for their variability in life history traits among watersheds or even within streams. Life history traits and population structure of these trout can be influenced by a variety of anthropogenic changes including habitat...

Historical change in channel form and riparian vegetation of the McKenzie River, Oregon

Creator:: Minear, Paula J.
Abstract:: This study examined channel structure and position and riparian vegetation and land use on the upper 70 km of the McKenzie River, Oregon in the 1940s, compared the 1940s conditions to present conditions, and explored the processes driving change in this system and the implications for aquatic habitat. The hydrologic...
