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...

Transferrin polymorphism in a population of Nuttall's cottontail in central Oregon

Creator:: Skalski, John Raymond
Abstract:: Temporal changes in gene frequencies and genotype frequencies, monthly densities, survival rates, growth rates, trap susceptibility and home ranges were evaluated from 291 Nuttall's cottontails (Sylvilagus nuttallii) captured 950 times by livetrapping and 53 cottontails collected by shooting. Electrophoretic analyses of sera revealed protein polymorphism at the transferrin locus in...

Thirty-four Kilometers and Fifteen Years : Rapid Adaptation at a Novel Chromosomal Inversion in Recently Introduced Deschutes River Three-spined Stickleback

Creator:: Hemstrom, William
Abstract:: Rapid adaptation and evolution based on standing genetic variation and novel mutations is likely to be one of the primary ways that species survive the widespread anthropogenic environmental changes expected of the next century. Three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) are known to be capable of extremely quick, dramatic adaptation in response...

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 Genetics of Larval Fitness in the Pacific Oyster: Responses to Acidified Seawater and Temporally Dynamic Selection Processes

Creator:: Durland, Evan R.
Abstract:: The Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is one of the most economically and ecologically significant shellfish species worldwide. In the Pacific Northwest United States (PNW), the sustainability oyster stocks is increasingly threatened by ocean acidification (OA), which has had significant negative effects on the aquaculture industry in this region over the...

The effects of irrigation water withdrawals on macroinvertebrate community structure and life history strategies

Creator:: Miller, Scott W.
Abstract:: I used current water management practices in central and eastern Oregon and Washington as natural experiments to quantify the effects of irrigation water withdrawals on macroinvertebrate community structure and life history strategies. Reduced discharge had direct (e.g. decreased velocity and wetted habitat) and indirect (e.g. increased conductivity and temperature) effects...

The effect of landscape topography and in-stream habitat on the distribution, growth, and survival of Lahontan cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi) in a high desert watershed

Creator:: Boxall, George D.
Abstract:: Lahontan cutthroat trout (LCT) (Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi) are currently limited in their distribution to a patchwork of small isolated populations, the result of habitat degradation and natural variation in landscape and in-stream conditions. The objectives of this study were to determine how landscape level topographic features influence LCT distribution patterns....

The Effect of Group Size on Individual Roles and the Potential for Cooperation in Group Bubble-net Feeding Humpback Whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)

Creator:: Mastick, Natalie
Abstract:: Group foraging is observed in many species as a means to increase the ability of members of the group to find and exploit patchy prey. Group foraging can be exhibited in a number of different contexts based on the relationships between the participants, including by-product mutualism. One variant of by-product...

Survival, movements and habitat selection of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) on the Great Basin of southeastern Oregon and northwestern Nevada

Creator:: Crawford, Justin A.
Abstract:: I investigated survival, movements, home range sizes, and habitat selection of pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) in southeastern Oregon and northwestern Nevada from June 2005 to June 2007. I trapped 298 rabbits on four sites and fitted each with radio transmitters. More than 13,000 locations of telemetered rabbits were recorded. I...
