Influences of clearcut logging on macroinvertebrates in perennial and intermittent headwaters of the Central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Banks, Janel
Abstract:: This research was designed to broaden the understanding of how timber-harvest affects aquatic macroinvertebrates in perennial and intermittent headwater streams. This study compared emergent and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages from 20 headwater streams in the central Oregon Coast Range that varied by harvest condition and flow duration. Through comparison of the...

Effects of grass seed agriculture on aquatic invertebrate communities in seasonal wetlands of the southern Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Wyss, Lance A.
Abstract:: An estimated 99% of native wet prairie has been lost in the Willamette Valley, Oregon, but a large number of seasonal wetlands remain on private lands dedicated to grass seed production within the historical wet prairie landscape. Because agriculture is known to alter physical and chemical wetland conditions, I investigated...

Evidence for Cross-Seasonal Effects: Insights from Long-term Data on Northern Pintail

Creator:: Zarzycki, Megan C.
Abstract:: Cross-seasonal effects, where conditions in one season can have consequences in a following season, can have population-level implications for migratory species. To assess the presence of cross-seasonal effects on a migratory dabbling duck population, we examined the relative importance of habitat conditions in multiple seasons on the subsequent productivity of...

A simulation model of wood dynamics in Pacific Northwest streams

Creator:: Meleason, Mark Alan
Abstract:: Conceptually, the dynamics of wood in streams can be viewed in terms of input and in-channel processes. Input processes are associated with both the riparian (tree fall, bank cutting, windthrow) and upslope forests (mass failures). In-channel processes include log breakage, movement, and decomposition. A mechanistic view of these processes is...

Response of juvenile steelhead trout to an instream habitat rehabilitation project in Meadow Creek, Oregon

Creator:: Miller, Alan Christopher
Abstract:: Responses of juvenile steelhead trout to changes in stream habitat resulting from an instream habitat rehabilitation project in Meadow Creek, Oregon were measured from 1991 through 1992 and compared to pre-treatment data from 1987 through 1990. Sixty nine pool-forming, and 59 channel-stabilizing log structures were constructed by the U.S. Forest...

Microhabitat associations and behavioral dynamics of co-occurring native Pacifastacus leniusculus and invasive Procambarus clarkii crayfish in Oregon's southern Willamette Valley

Creator:: Hanshew, Brett Alan
Abstract:: Biological invasions are the second largest threat to biodiversity following habitat loss, and studying invasions has been a focus of ecological the past two decades. Despite the intense research, many basic questions remain empirically unanswered, particularly in the realm of behavior. The purpose of this research was to explore the...

The reproductive biology of the mountain cottontail rabbit in Oregon

Creator:: Powers, Roger Alan
Abstract:: The reproductive characteristics of the mountain cottontail rabbit, Sylvilagus nuttalli (Bachman), were investigated from 269 specimens collected in central Oregon between 28 May 1968 and 28 August 1969. Male rabbits were in breeding condition between mid-February and 3 July 1969. Nearly 77% of the females bore four litters between 7...

Effects of ethyl mercury on some parameters of reproduction in ring-necked pheasants

Creator:: Christensen, Alan Gene
Abstract:: Prior to onset of the breeding season, a ration containing 18.4 mg/kg N-(Ethylmercuri)-p-toluene sulphonanilide was fed to 6 male and 16 female ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus). Birds receiving the mercury-treated ration were separated from the opposite sex. After receiving the mercury-treated ration for 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 days,...

Population ecology of the Columbian white-tailed deer

Creator:: Gavin, Thomas Alan
Abstract:: A population of Columbian white-tailed deer (CWTD) was studied on a refuge (790 ha) in southwestern Washington during 1972-77. Quality of habitat was considered good for these deer and total population size remained between 164-230 as determined by mark-recapture methods during November. Population size declined significantly between the winters of...

Studies on the molluscan and fish hosts of the "salmon poisoning" fluke, Nanophyetus salmincola (Chapin)

Creator:: Gebhardt, Gary Alan.
Abstract:: This study¹ was undertaken: (1) to obtain information on the distribution of the snail, Oxytrema silicula, in three coastal rivers in Oregon, and the seasonal incidence of infection in these snails and in snails from an inland stream, with the cercariae of the trematode, Nanophyetus salinincola; (2) to follow cercarial...
