Migrational characteristics and survival rates of mallards banded at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge

Creator:: Furniss, Sean Barry
Abstract:: An analysis of 4,385 recoveries of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), that were reported during the years 1929 to 1972, was made to determine the migrational characteristics and survival rates of mallards banded at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Oregon. Two populations, a transitory population and a wintering population, were banded...

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...

Survival and nest site characteristics of translocated mountain quail on Steens Mountain, Oregon

Creator:: Nelson, Jamie N.
Abstract:: Mountain Quail (Oreortyx pictus) populations have declined in the eastern portion of their range during the last century. However, few studies have investigated the nesting habitat and survival of Mountain Quail translocated into an area from which they have been extirpated. We translocated 217 wild Mountain Quail (Oreortyx pictus) from...

Butterfly and flower community composition among prairie-oak ecosystem habitats in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Powers, Breanna F.
Abstract:: Prairie-oak ecosystems in the Willamette Valley, Oregon have experienced habitat loss and degradation; most of these ecosystems are fragmented into smaller patches. Prairie-oak butterfly species, in the Willamette Valley, have decreased dramatically due to loss or degradation of habitat. More research is needed on sustaining the populations of butterflies in...

Heat shock proteins and physiological stress in redband rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) in the South Fork John Day River, Oregon

Creator:: Feldhaus, Joseph W.
Abstract:: The goal of this research was to characterize thermal habitat requirements for juvenile redband steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss gairdneri) in the South Fork John Day River (SFJD), Oregon using physiological indicators of fish condition. Physiological indices of fish condition measured were whole body lipid content and heat shock proteins, specifically...

Ecophysiology of Marine Bivalves : Physiological Rate Processes in Dynamic Environments

Creator:: Gray, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Marine bivalves are globally recognized as ecologically and commercially valuable species and, for over a century, researchers have been studying their feeding, digestion and other related physiological processes. These studies have shown that marine bivalves have complex feeding and particle processing behaviors to maximize growth in dynamic environmental conditions. Additionally,...

Habitat use by female greater sage grouse in relation to fire at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, Oregon

Creator:: Byrne, Michael W.
Abstract:: The United States Fish and Wildlife Service currently uses fire as a management tool to improve Greater Sage Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus Bonaparte) nesting and brood-rearing habitat at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge (HMNAR) in S.E. Oregon. Previous studies at HMNAR revealed use of burned areas by sage grouse throughout the...

A global assessment of freshwater fish introductions in Mediterranean-climate regions

Creator:: Marr, Sean M., Olden, Julian D., Leprieur, Fabien, Arismendi, Ivan, Caleta, Marko, Morgan, David L., Nocita, Annamaria, Sanda, Radek, Tarkan, A. Serhan, and Garcia-Berthou, Emili
Abstract:: Mediterranean-climate regions (med-regions) are global hotspots of endemism 40 facing mounting environmental threats associated with human-related activities, including the ecological impacts associated with non-native species introductions. We review freshwater fish introductions across med-regions to evaluate the influences of non-native fishes on the biogeography of taxonomic and functional diversity. Our synthesis...

Habitat use, movement, and life history variation of coastal cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii, in the Salmon River estuary, Oregon

Creator:: Krentz, Lisa K.
Abstract:: Anadromous coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii clarkii may be highly dependent on estuaries, passing through them multiple times during their lifetime. However, few studies have investigated estuarine use by coastal cutthroat trout and it is often thought that estuaries serve primarily as migration corridors rather than rearing areas. We used...
