Relationship Between Wildfire, Salvage Logging, and Occupancy of Nesting Territories by Northern Spotted Owls

Creator:: Clark, Darren A., Anthony, Robert G., and Andrews, Lawrence S.
Abstract:: The northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) is one of the most intensively studied raptors in the world; however, little is known about the impacts of wildfire on the subspecies and how they use recently burned areas. Three large-scale wildfires in southwest Oregon provided an opportunity to investigate the short-term...

Mercury and molt: no strong Hg trend across songbird primaries

Creator:: Ramsden, Danielle K., Low, Katherine E., Jackson, Allyson K., Emery, Colleen, and Eagles-Smith, Collin A.
Abstract:: Mercury (Hg) is a bioaccumulative metal that can threaten the health of wild birds. Feathers are commonly used biomonitoring tools for non-lethally estimating Hg exposure in birds because they contain stable Hg concentrations upon completion of feather growth, when blood flow to the feather has stopped. Despite the common use...

Estimating Global ‘‘Blue Carbon’’ Emissions from Conversion and Degradation of Vegetated Coastal Ecosystems

Creator:: Pendleton, Linwood, Donato, Daniel C., Murray, Brian C., Crooks, Stephen, Jenkins, W. Aaron, Sifleet, Samantha, Craft, Christopher, Fourqurean, James W., Kauffman, J. Boone, Marba, Nuria, Megonigal, Patrick, Pidgeon, Emily, Herr, Dorothee, Gordon, David, and Baldera, Alexis
Abstract:: Recent attention has focused on the high rates of annual carbon sequestration in vegetated coastal ecosystems—marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses—that may be lost with habitat destruction (‘conversion’). Relatively unappreciated, however, is that conversion of these coastal ecosystems also impacts very large pools of previously-sequestered carbon. Residing mostly in sediments, this ‘blue...

Settlement patterns of young-of-the-year rockfish among six Oregon estuaries experiencing different levels of human development

Creator:: Dauble, Alison D., Heppell, Scott A., and Johansson, Mattias L.
Abstract:: In the US Pacific Northwest, rockfishes Sebastes spp. have recently become a focus for increased management efforts; several species are currently managed under extreme conservation measures due to low population levels and intense fishing pressure. Rockfish recruitment is extremely variable, and a better understanding of the factors influencing recruitment and...

High-use areas, seasonal movements and dive patterns of juvenile loggerhead sea turtles in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean

Creator:: Barcelo, Caren, Domingo, Andres, Miller, Philip, Ortega, Leonardo, Giffoni, Bruno, Sales, Gilberto, McNaughton, Lianne, Marcovaldi, Maria, Heppell, Selina S., and Swimmer, Yonat
Abstract:: Characterizing the behaviors of sea turtles and identifying high-use areas as they vary in time and space is important for conservation planning, particularly when turtles overlap with fisheries that may unintentionally harm them. Between July 2006 and March 2010, 27 satellite transmitters were deployed at sea on juvenile loggerheads Caretta...

Phylotastic! Making tree-of-life knowledge accessible, reusable and convenient

Creator:: Stoltzfus, Arlin, Lapp, Hilmar, Matasci, Naim, Deus, Helena, Sidlauskas, Brian, Zmasek, Christian M., Vaidya, Gaurav, Pontelli, Enrico, Cranston, Karen, Vos, Rutger, Webb, Campbell O, Harmon, Luke J., Pirrung, Megan, O'Meara, Brian, Pennell, Matthew W., Mirarab, Siavash, Rosenberg, Michael S., Balhoff, James P., Bik, Holly M., Heath, Tracy A., Midford, Peter E., Brown, Joseph W., McTavish, Emily Jane, Sukumaran, Jeet, Westneat, Mark, Alfaro, Michael E., Steele, Aaron, and Jordan, Greg
Abstract:: Background: Scientists rarely reuse expert knowledge of phylogeny, in spite of years of effort to assemble a great “Tree of Life” (ToL). A notable exception involves the use of Phylomatic, which provides tools to generate custom phylogenies from a large, pre-computed, expert phylogeny of plant taxa. This suggests great potential...

Habitat use, spatial ecology, and stable isotope variability of the Pacific harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardii) along the Oregon coast

Creator:: Steingass, Sheanna M.
Abstract:: Pacific harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) are one of Oregon’s most common coastal predators, numbering between 10,000 and 12,000 individuals (Brown et al. 2005b). They consume more than 149 species or types of marine prey within the Pacific Northwest, which include a large variety of commercially important fisheries species. Despite...

Foraging ecology of caspian terns and double-crested cormorants in the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Lyons, Donald E.
Abstract:: A detailed understanding of the foraging ecology of species preying upon threatened or endangered prey may contribute to identifying and evaluating management options to reduce predation, when such management is deemed appropriate. In the Columbia River estuary, Caspian terns (Sterna caspia) and double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) have been identified as...

Avian communities in relation to habitat influenced by fire in a sagebrush steppe landscape

Creator:: Noson, Anna C.
Abstract:: Fire suppression in high-elevation sagebrush steppe over the last century has profoundly influenced the structure and complexity of vegetation communities. Although fire is the primary management tool used to restore these areas, the impact of this management practice on associated avian communities is poorly understood. We examined patterns of habitat...
