Floodplain emergent wetlands as rearing habitat for fishes and the implications for wetland enhancement

Creator:: Henning, Julie A.
Abstract:: Seasonal emergent wetlands in the Pacific Northwest have not been regarded traditionally as fish rearing habitat, despite access to such habitat when river flows overtop riverbanks and connect to the floodplain. As a result, restoration and enhancement projects to remediate for the loss of such wetland habitat are being implemented...

Influences of riparian canopy on aquatic communities in high desert streams of eastern Oregon

Creator:: Tait, Cynthia K.
Abstract:: Because riparian canopy controls most energy inputs to stream ecosystems, it directly affects the structure of aquatic food webs and the ecological processes that govern interactions among trophic levels. This study addresses the interdependence among riparian canopy, benthic community structure, and the carrying capacity of high desert streams for salmonid...

A Meta-Analysis of Lesser Prairie-Chicken Nesting and Brood-Rearing Habitats: Implications for Habitat Management

Creator:: Hagen, Christian A., Grisham, Blacke A., Boal, Clint W., and Haukos, David A.
Abstract:: The distribution and range of lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) has been reduced by >90% since European settlement of the Great Plains of North America. Currently, lesser prairie-chickens occupy 3 general vegetation communities: sand sagebrush (Artemisia filifolia), sand shinnery oak (Quercus havardii), and mixed-grass prairies juxtaposed with Conservation Reserve Program grasslands....

Seasonal life history of Oncorhynchus mykiss in the South Fork John Day River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Tattam, Ian A.
Abstract:: Understanding seasonal changes in growth, survival, and movement rates is crucial to salmonid management. These life history characteristics provide a context for evaluation of management actions. We evaluated the life history of individually marked Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri in the South Fork John Day River basin in Northeastern Oregon. This thesis...

Catch shares, fisheries, and ecological stewardship: a comparative analysis of resource responses to a rights-based policy instrument

Creator:: Essington, Timothy E., Melnychuk, Michael C., Branch, Trevor A., Heppell, Selina S., Jensen, Olaf P., Link, Jason S., Martell, Steven J. D., Parma, Ana M., Pope, John G., and Smith, Anthony D. M.
Abstract:: Rights-based approaches are potentially promising tools to meet conservation objectives in natural resource management. Here, we evaluated how population status and fishery production respond to catch shares, a rights-based policy instrument in fisheries whereby participants are granted a right to harvest a fraction of the allowable catch. By analyzing time...

Nest Success and Cause-Specific Nest Failure of Grassland Passerines Breeding in Prairie Grazed by Livestock

Creator:: Johnson, Tracey N., Kennedy, Patricia L., and Etterson, Matthew A.
Abstract:: Livestock grazing is a widespread source of habitat modification, and may affect populations of ground-nesting grassland birds by influencing rates of nest failure. Nesting attempts can fail for various reasons, and determining risk of failure from specific causes associated with livestock grazing would enhance development of range management practices in...

Public lands and private waters: scarce mesic resources structure land tenure and sage-grouse distributions

Creator:: Donnelly, J. P., Naugle, D. E., Hagen, C. A., and Maestas, J. D.
Abstract:: Water scarcity in semiarid environments provides a model system to evaluate the role of mesic resources in structuring the distribution and abundance of wildlife. We used remote sensing and point process analyses to evaluate spatio–temporal variability in limited mesic resources in relation to greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) distributions in Oregon,...

Relationship Between Wildfire, Salvage Logging, and Occupancy of Nesting Territories by Northern Spotted Owls

Creator:: Clark, Darren A., Anthony, Robert G., and Andrews, Lawrence S.
Abstract:: The northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) is one of the most intensively studied raptors in the world; however, little is known about the impacts of wildfire on the subspecies and how they use recently burned areas. Three large-scale wildfires in southwest Oregon provided an opportunity to investigate the short-term...

A realignment of marine biogeographic provinces with particular reference to fish distributions

Creator:: Briggs, John C. and Bowen, Brian W.
Abstract:: Marine provinces, founded on contrasting floras or faunas, have been recognized for more than 150 years but were not consistently defined by endemism until 1974. At that time, provinces were based on at least a 10% endemism and nested within biogeographic regions that covered large geographic areas with contrasting biotic...

Juvenile coho salmon movement, growth and survival in a coastal basin of southern Oregon

Creator:: Weybright, Adam D. and Giannico, Guillermo R.
Abstract:: Juvenile salmonids display highly variable spatial and temporal patterns of early dispersal that are influenced by density-dependent and density-independent factors. Although juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) movement patterns in streams and their relationship with body mass and growth have been examined in previous studies, most observations were limited to one...
