Impact of land use patterns and agricultural practices on water quality in the Calapooia River Basin of western Oregon

Creator:: Mueller-Warrant, G. W., Griffith, S. M., Whittaker, G. W., Banowetz, G. M., Pfender, W. F., Garcia, T. S., and Giannico, G. R.
Abstract:: Agricultural practices, including tillage, fertilization, and residue management, can affect surface runoff, soil erosion, and nutrient cycling. These processes, in turn, may adversely affect (1) quality of aquatic resources as habitat for amphibians, fish, and invertebrates, (2) costs of treating surface and ground water to meet drinking water standards, and...

Combining Disparate Data Sources with Ecosystem and Integrated Models: Case Studies for Improving Management of Protected Species

Creator:: Chasco, Brandon E.
Abstract:: Globally, the number of threatened species is increasing and conserving them is a high priority to the scientific community. Assessing the status of these protected species is challenging due to missing, contested, and or contradictory data streams. Integrated models (IMs) provide a statistical framework for combining disparate data sources to...

Development of a Structured Adaptive Approach to Klamath Basin Sucker Recovery Planning

Creator:: Barajas, Miguel F.
Abstract:: Listed as endangered in 1988, the Lost River sucker (Deltistes luxatus) and Shortnose sucker (Chasmistes brevirostris) were once abundant and widely distributed in the Klamath Basin in Southern Oregon and Northern California. Populations of both species have been declining since the late 1960’s. Factors thought responsible for declines include naturally...

Otolith Morphometrics as a Tool for Conservation and Management of Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Koeberle, Alexander L.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon are widely distributed across the globe with native stocks in the North Pacific Ocean and self-sustained populations introduced to regions in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Pacific salmon are economically and ecologically important to the Pacific Northwest, USA, yet several wild populations are federally listed as endangered or...

Evolution and risk in conservation of Pacific salmon

Creator:: Currens, Kenneth P.
Abstract:: Identifying appropriate units for conservation requires knowledge of evolutionary patterns and risks of managing at different geographical and genetic scales. I examined genetic diversity at different geographical scales among 11,400 rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) from 243 locations in 13 major river basins throughout much of their range and among coho...

Addressing Challenges in the Application of Animal Movement Ecology to Aquatic Conservation and Management

Creator:: Ogburn, Matthew B., Mills Flemming, Joanna E., Harrison, Autumn-Lynn, Cooke, Steven J., Torres, Leigh G., and Whoriskey, Frederick G.
Abstract:: The dynamic nature of most environments forces many animals to move to meet their fundamental needs. This is especially true in aquatic environments where shifts in spatial ecology (which are a result of movements) are among the first adaptive responses of animals to changes in ecosystems. Changes in the movement...

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,...

All in a DNA's work : conservation genetics and monitoring of the New Zealand endemic Maui's and Hector's dolphins

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...

Distribution, habitat associations, and conservation status of Pacific fisher (Pekania pennanti) in Oregon.

Creator:: Barry, Brent R.
Abstract:: Fishers (Pekania pennanti) are medium sized mustelids endemic to North America. Two fisher populations persist in Oregon: an indigenous population in southwestern Oregon, and a reintroduced population in the southern Cascade Mountains. Despite candidacy for listing under the Endangered Species Act, current information on fisher populations in Oregon is scarce....
