The ecology of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) foraging in Pacific Northwest ecosystems

Creator:: Evans-Peters, Sara Tondee
Abstract:: Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were first successfully introduced into Oregon and Washington in the 1960s; the population has grown in size and expanded in distribution to a point where it provides an important recreational hunting opportunity in both states that generates significant funds for habitat conservation and contributes financially to...

Regional variation in mtDNA of the lesser prairie-chicken

Creator:: Hagen, Christian A., Pitman, James C., Sandercock, Brett K., Wolfe, Don H., Robel, Robert J., Applegate, Roger D., and Oyler-McCance, Sara J.
Abstract:: Cumulative loss of habitat and long-term decline in the populations of the Lesser Prairie-Chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) have led to concerns for the species’ viability throughout its range in the southern Great Plains. For more efficient conservation past and present distributions of genetic variation need to be understood. We examined the...

Distribution, habitat use, and growth of juvenile Chinook salmon in the Metolius River Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Lovtang, Jens C.
Abstract:: Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) have been absent from their historic spawning and rearing grounds in the Metolius River Basin in central Oregon since 1968, when fish passage was terminated at the Pelton Round Butte Hydroelectric Project on the Deschutes River. Plans have been developed to reestablish passage of anadromous fish...

More than one million barriers fragment Europe’s rivers

Abstract:: Rivers support some of Earth’s richest biodiversity and provide essential ecosystem services to society, but they are often fragmented by barriers to free flow. In Europe, attempts to quantify river connectivity have been hampered by the absence of a harmonized barrier database. Here we show that there are at least...

eDNA as a tool for identifying freshwater species in sustainable forestry: A critical review and potential future applications

Creator:: Coble, Ashley A., Flinders, Camille A., Homyack, Jessica A., Penaluna, Brooke E., Cronn, Richard C., and Weitemier, Kevin
Abstract:: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity. Our...

Competing tradeoffs between increasing marine mammal predation and fisheries harvest of Chinook salmon

Creator:: Chasco, Brandon E., Kaplan, Isaac C., Thomas, Austen C., Acevedo-Gutiérrez, Alejandro, Noren, Dawn P., Ford, Michael J., Hanson, M. Bradley, Scordino, Jonathan J., Jeffries, Steven J., Marshall, Kristin N., Shelton, Andrew O., Matkin, Craig, Burke, Brian J., and Ward, Eric J.
Abstract:: Many marine mammal predators, particularly pinnipeds, have increased in abundance in recent decades, generating new challenges for balancing human uses with recovery goals via ecosystem-based management. We used a spatio-temporal bioenergetics model of the Northeast Pacific Ocean to quantify how predation by three species of pinnipeds and killer whales (Orcinus...

Vertebral elemental markers in elasmobranchs : potential for reconstructing environmental history and population structure

Creator:: Smith, Wade D.
Abstract:: Differences in the chemical composition of calcified structures can be used to reveal natal origins, connectivity, metapopulation structure, and reconstruct the environmental history or movement patterns of many marine organisms. Sharks, skates, and rays (elasmobranchs) lack the calcified structures, known as otoliths, that are typically used for geochemical studies of...

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....

Salmon recovery in the Pacific Northwest : defining what constitutes a wild salmon

Creator:: Courter, Ian I.
Abstract:: In spite of considerable efforts to restore natural runs of anadromous salmonids in the Pacific Northwest, they remain at risk of extirpation. Along with many other factors influencing the decline, stocking from hatcheries over the past hundred years is often suggested to be a major cause. The listing of over...
