Relative abundance and habitat associations of small mammals in two forest types in southern Oregon

Creator:: Johnston, Aaron N.
Abstract:: I studied small-mammal communities and their response to grazing in mixed-conifer forests and oak woodlands in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in southern Oregon. My objectives were to (1) compare small-mammal communities among forest types and grazing intensities, (2) identify riparian affiliated species, and (3) describe microhabitat associations. Over two years,...

Vegetation and Small Mammal Responses to Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) Control in Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Morozumi, Corinne N.
Abstract:: Shrub-steppe ecosystems of western North America provide habitat for many wildlife species, are important components of public and private rangelands, and offer recreational opportunities for millions of people. They are some of the most vulnerable ecosystems in the United States and have been altered by human activities such as livestock...

Spawning chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) two years in a row : reconditioning for repeated gamete collection

Creator:: Mayer, Kent Corey
Abstract:: Spring chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, in the Snake River Basin are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. The typical life history of spring chinook salmon is semelparous. An experiment was performed to see if mature male spring chinook salmon parr could be reconditioned after hand-spawning and spawned in...

Seasonal changes in distribution and abundance of salmonids and habitat availability in a coastal Oregon basin

Creator:: Sleeper, Jack David
Abstract:: Visual estimation techniques were used to quantify habitat characteristics, habitat type (pool, riffle) use and longitudinal distribution of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss), cutthroat trout (0. clarki), and coho salmon (0. kisutch) in spring, summer and fall in 8.8 km of Cummins Creek, a basin in the central coast of Oregon. Fish...

Seasonal distribution and environmental associations among late larval and juvenile rockfish (Sebastes spp.) off Oregon and Washington: new insights based on genetics

Creator:: Johansson, Mattias L., Litz, Marisa N. C., Brodeur, Richard D., Britt, Tristan A., Vanegas, Camilo A., Hyde, John R., and Banks, Michael A.
Abstract:: Cytochrome B sequence data (FASTA format) from the paper “Seasonal distribution and environmental associations among late larval and juvenile rockfish (Sebastes spp.) off Oregon and Washington: new insights based on genetics”. The data was generated from a sample of 2534 unknown, field collected late-larval and juvenile rockfishes from the Pacific...

Development of microparticulate feeds and methods to improve acceptability of artificial diets by blue spotted goby larvae (Asterropteryx semipunctata)

Creator:: Clack, Brendan W.
Abstract:: An acceptable microparticulate diet for marine fish larvae may be defined as an artificial diet that contains, retains, and delivers the required nutrients to support survival and growth. Factors affecting ingestion rate of prey items by fish larvae include environmental factors such as light intensity, prey/background contrast, possible chemical cues,...

Assessing Apparent Effects on Survival and Movement of Desert Bighorn Sheep (Ovis canadensis nelsoni) Following a Pneumonia Outbreak

Creator:: Dekelaita, Daniella J.
Abstract:: In the western United States, bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) have suffered major die-offs in every state since the mid-1800s, and disease from domestic sheep (Ovis aries) has been a primary factor in these events. Beginning in the early 1900s, poly-factorial, poly-microbial pneumonia was identified as a major disease affecting bighorn...

Spatiotemporal Associations of Abundance and Vital Rates of Co-occurring Small Mammals in a Late Successional Forest

Creator:: Weldy, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Informed conservation of small mammals, ecosystems, and predators requires a detailed understanding of how small mammals species and communities vary in both space and time, as well as the relative cyclicity and synchrony of this variation. This variation can be especially informative to land managers interested in manipulating the abundance...

Virulence characteristics of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in brook trout, Salvelinus fontinalis, fry

Creator:: Maret, Joseph J.
Abstract:: Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is an acute, contagious disease of trout fry and fingerlings caused by viruses of the family birnaviridae. IPN disease usually results in mortality that is inversely proportional to the age of the fish. While many studies have been carried out to increase our understanding of IPN,...

Seasonal distribution and habitat selection by the redside shiner, Richardsonius balteatus, in a small Oregon stream

Creator:: Rodnick, Kenneth J.
Abstract:: Seasonal habitat availability, utilization, and selection by young of the year (< 25 mm) and adult (>25 mm) redside shiner, Richardsonius balteatus, were studied for 1 year in sections of Greasy Creek, Benton County, Oregon. Intensive stream mapping procedures and snorkling observations provided most of the quantitative measures for habitat...
