Low Diversity in theMitogenome of Sperm Whales Revealed by Next-Generation Sequencing

Creator:: Alexander, Alana, Steel, Debbie, Slikas, Beth, Hoekzema, Kendra, Carraher, Colm, Parks, Matthew, Cronn, Richard, and Baker, C. Scott
Abstract:: Large population sizes and global distributions generally associate with high mitochondrial DNA control region (CR) diversity. The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is an exception, showing low CR diversity relative to other cetaceans; however, diversity levels throughout the remainder of the sperm whale mitogenome are unknown. We sequenced 20 mitogenomes from...

eDNA as a tool for identifying freshwater species in sustainable forestry: A critical review and potential future applications

Creator:: Coble, Ashley A., Flinders, Camille A., Homyack, Jessica A., Penaluna, Brooke E., Cronn, Richard C., and Weitemier, Kevin
Abstract:: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity. Our...

Supplemental data to "Casting a broader net: Using microfluidic metagenomics to capture aquatic biodiversity data from diverse taxonomic targets"

Creator:: Hauck, Laura L., Weitemier, Kevin A., Penaluna, Brooke E., Garcia, Tiffany, and Cronn, Richard
Abstract:: This dataset contains the taxonomic classifications of environmental DNA (eDNA) sequences obtained from Fall Creek, Oregon, via microfluidic multiplex PCR (Fluidigm Access Array) and high-throughput sequencing. It is accompanied by electrofishing counts taken at the same time as the eDNA samples. Metadata and R scripts are provided to analyze the...

Avian communities in relation to habitat influenced by fire in a sagebrush steppe landscape

Creator:: Noson, Anna C.
Abstract:: Fire suppression in high-elevation sagebrush steppe over the last century has profoundly influenced the structure and complexity of vegetation communities. Although fire is the primary management tool used to restore these areas, the impact of this management practice on associated avian communities is poorly understood. We examined patterns of habitat...

A genetic study of the red-band trout (Salmo sp.)

Creator:: Wilmot, Richard L.
Abstract:: A group of trout that reside in streams of the desiccating lake basins of southeastern Oregon differ markedly from other known Salmo. Known commonly as the red-band trout, this fish was subjected to chromosome analysis for comparison with other species of western North American Salmo. The karyotype of the red-banded...

The effects of copper on predator-prey interactions of fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) and Daphnia pulex

Creator:: Rohm, Christina M.
Abstract:: Total copper concentrations of 10 [mu]g/l to 100 [mu]g/l appeared to alter the predator-prey interactions of fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) and Daphnia pulex. The effect of copper concentration on the total amounts of D. pulex consumed over a 12-h period varied with the density of prey stocked hourly in the...

Habitat characteristics associated with abundance of band-tailed pigeons and use of mineral sites in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Overton, Cory T.
Abstract:: Index counts for the Pacific Coast race of the band-tailed pigeon (Columba fasciata monilis) have declined by -2% per year since survey efforts began in the 1950's and 60's. Mineral sites, important resources with high ion concentrations, are regularly visited by band-tailed pigeons which nest in surrounding forest lands. I...

Greater Sage-Grouse Demography, Habitat Selection, and Habitat Connectivity in Relation to Western Juniper and its Management

Creator:: Olsen, Andrew C.
Abstract:: The expansion of native, woody plants is a global phenomenon with characteristics and effects that are often indistinguishable from exotic invasions. These expansions have largely been driven by altered fire regimes and favorable climatic conditions. In the Great Basin of western North America, expansion of conifers such as western juniper...

Patterns of interactive segregation in three species of sculpins (Cottus) in western Oregon

Creator:: Finger, Terry Richard
Abstract:: Species interactions and their effect on the use of habitat by benthic fishes were examined in a guild composed of Cottus perplexus, C. rhotheus, and C. beldingi in the Marys River above Philomath, Oregon, and in a constant environment provided by an artificial stream. In the Marys River system, the...
