Black bear population ecology

Creator:: Lindzey, Frederick Grier
Abstract:: Despite relatively mild weather, black bears (Ursus americanus) in southwestern Washington entered dens and remained for an average of 126 days. Bears entered their dens during a 5-week period which began on 21 October. A significant difference (P < 0.05) was found among the average dates of den entrance of...

The role of body size in the foraging strategies and management of avian herbivores : a comparison of dusky Canada geese (Branta canadensis occidentalis) and cackling geese (B. hutchinsii minima) wintering in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Mini, Anne E.
Abstract:: Body size explains much of the interspecific variation in the physiology, behavior, and morphology of birds, such as metabolic rate, diet selection, intake rate, gut size, and bill size. Based on mass-specific metabolic requirements and relative energetic costs of activities, being a certain body size has both advantages and disadvantages....

The black crappie, Pomoxis nigromaculatus, as a farm pond fish in Oregon

Creator:: Stolte, Lawrence
Abstract:: The black crappie was evaluated as a pond fish in four experimental ponds in the Willamette Valley. Two ponds were stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill sunfish, and black crappie (1:9:3), and two ponds with largemouth bass and black crappie (1:3). Total biomass was greatest in the three-species ponds (80 kg/...

Aspects of comparative neuromuscular physiology and pharmacology of black bass (Micropterus salmoides) as evidenced by the action of diisopropylfluorophosphate

Creator:: Schneider, Phillip William
Abstract:: Neuromuscular physiology has been extensively investigated in several groups of vertebrates excluding fish. To understand the nature of neuromuscular transmission in this group, the response of the pectoral fin abductor muscle of black bass (Micropterus salmoides) to nerve stimulation under the influence of an anticho1inesterase agent was studied. Diisopropylfluorophosphate (DFP),...

Understanding Tolerance: Measuring and Modeling Human-Black Bear Interaction in Oregon

Creator:: Delie, Jackie S.
Abstract:: The social sciences are increasingly used in conservation to describe interactions and relationships between humans, wildlife, and ecosystems. Scientists and policy-makers have concluded that promoting human tolerance for wildlife is critical to the success of conservation efforts. Yet, the concept of tolerance is relatively new in the context of human-wildlife...

Incubation patterns, parental roles, and nest survival of black oystercatchers (Haematopus bachmani) : influences of environmental processes and potential disturbance stimuli

Creator:: Spiegel, Caleb S.
Abstract:: Shorebirds display great variation in mating systems and breed in dynamic environments that are increasingly subject to human threats worldwide. In order to adequately assess productivity and demography of shorebird populations, it is important to understand factors that influence patterns of parental care and reproductive success. The Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus...

Comparative foraging ecology of five species of Pacific seabirds : multi-scale analyses of marine habitat use

Creator:: Suryan, Robert
Abstract:: Seabirds are an integral component of marine ecosystems, however, because humans typically observe only snapshots of their lives at sea, our understanding of seabird foraging ecology is often limited. A more complete understanding of the ecological roles of seabirds and identification of critical foraging habitats requires the ability to follow...

Characterizing neutral and adaptive genomic differentiation in a changing climate: The most northerly freshwater fish as a model

Creator:: O'Malley, Kathleen G., Vaux, Felix, and Black, Andrew N.
Abstract:: Arctic freshwater ecosystems have been profoundly affected by climate change. Given that the Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is often the only fish species inhabiting these ecosystems, it represents a valuable model for studying the impacts of climate change on species life‐history diversity and adaptability. Using a genotyping‐by‐se‐ quencing approach, we...

Defining micro-habitat relationships for juvenile black rockfish, Sebastes melanops

Creator:: Mann, Marion E.
Abstract:: The functioning of marine habitats needs to be understood in the context of the ecological relationships and associations between organisms and the physical and biogenic environment they inhabit. Thus, it becomes important to explore and define habitat features which contribute to these relationships and which are important in the life...

Recovery potential of black rockfish, Sebastes melanops Girard, recompressed following barotrauma

Creator:: Pribyl, A. L., Schreck, C. B., Kent, M. L., Kelley, K. M., and Parker, S. J.
Abstract:: Overfished species of rockfish, Sebastes spp., from the Northeast Pacific experience high bycatch mortality because of ‘barotrauma’, a condition induced from the rapid change in pressure during capture. Field experiments show that it may be possible for rockfish to recover from barotrauma if quickly recompressed; however, no work has followed...
