Riparian vegetation and larval Pacific Giant (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) and adult Western Redback (Plethodon vehiculum) salamanders in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Graff, Paula (Paula Hayes)
Abstract:: Riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest provide important biotic and abiotic features, such as down wood, moist microsites, and abundant invertebrate prey that benefit aquatic and terrestrial amphibians. Reported high densities of amphibians from streams and riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest highlight their importance in riparian food webs. Amphibians...

Small mammal responses to silvicultural fuels treatments in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Manning, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Despite the belief that fuels management, a form of prescribed fire that reduces accumulated fuels in commercially thinned forests, is necessary to restore forest 'health' in the Pacific Northwest, its effects on wildlife has received little attention in the scientific literature. Because fuels management is supported, funded, and implemented nationwide...

Nesting and foraging ecology of band-tailed pigeons in western Oregon

Creator:: Leonard, Jerome Patrick
Abstract:: Pacific Coast band-tailed pigeons (Columba fasciata) have declined markedly during the past several decades. Despite implementation of increasingly restrictive hunting regulations, populations have shown minimal signs of recovery. I radio-marked 127 adult band-tailed pigeons in the central Oregon Coast Range in April-May of 1993-95 to document nesting chronology and productivity,...

Status and habitat use of California bighorn sheep on Hart Mountain, Oregon

Creator:: Kornet, Christine Anne
Abstract:: California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana) were studied on Hart Mountain, Oregon, during the summer and fall of 1976, and the spring of 1977. The population consisted of a minimum of 196 sheep in June, 1977. The high number of lambs observed and high lamb:ewe ratios throughout both years of...

Seasonal shifts in redband trout use of pools and their microhabitats in three central Oregon streams

Creator:: Hirsch, Christine L.
Abstract:: Redband trout density was examined in three forested streams in central Oregon at two scales, pool channel unit and microhabitat. Two streams were in roadless areas and one was in a "highly managed" watershed. At the larger spatial scale, trout displayed a seasonal shift in habitat use from early to...

Spatial and temporal dynamics of sediment and wood in headwater streams in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: May, Christine L.
Abstract:: Channels that were scoured to bedrock by debris flows provided unique opportunities to calculate the rate of sediment and wood accumulation, to make inferences about processes associated with input and transport of sediment, and to gain insight into the temporal succession of channel morphology following disturbance. In an intensive investigation...

The influence of local fidelity and recruitment on population dynamics and specialized foraging of humpback whales in Glacier Bay and Icy Strait, Alaska

Creator:: Pierszalowski, Sophie Penny
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae, Borowski 1781) in the North Pacific migrate from mid- to high- latitude summer feeding grounds along the Pacific Rim, including areas off the coasts of the U.S., Canada, Russia and eastern Asia, to tropical breeding grounds each winter along Pacific coasts of Mexico and Central America...

Stags of the Sea or Hedgehogs of the Harbor? Inferring the Point of Sculpin Cranial Weaponry

Creator:: Buser, Thaddaeus J.
Abstract:: Animal weapons are thought to have evolved to compete for reproductive opportunities within a species. Across the diverse weapon-bearing taxa, several evolutionary trends have emerged: (1) increasing complexity and relative size across ontogeny, (2) sexual dimorphism, and (3) higher levels of random deviations from symmetry (i.e., fluctuating asymmetry) than non-weaponized...

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Calling Behavior In Southeast Alaska : A Study In Acoustic Ecology And Noise

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H.
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widely distributed baleen whale species, well known for their diverse acoustic behavior. On high-latitude foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a suite of non-song vocalizations (“calls”) in concert with foraging and social behavior. In this dissertation I investigated the role of calls in the acoustic...
