Vegetation and Small Mammal Responses to Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) Control in Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Morozumi, Corinne N.
Abstract:: Shrub-steppe ecosystems of western North America provide habitat for many wildlife species, are important components of public and private rangelands, and offer recreational opportunities for millions of people. They are some of the most vulnerable ecosystems in the United States and have been altered by human activities such as livestock...

Multiscale habitat electivity and movement patterns by adult spring chinook salmon in seven river basins of northeast Oregon

Creator:: Price, David M.
Abstract:: I examined habitat electivity and movement patterns of adult spring chinook salmon at microhabitat and channel unit spatial scales, and seasonal to annual temporal scales in seven streams in the Grande Ronde, John Day, and Imnaha basins. The objective was to compare habitat use and availability among streams, channel units,...

The use of burned forest by breeding birds following the Biscuit Fire in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Donaghy Cannon, Michelle M.
Abstract:: Fire severity is hypothesized as an important driver of bird responses to wildfire. For those species that typically respond negatively to increasing severity, Accessibility of high-severity burned forest may be dependent on the proximity of unburned or low-severity burned forest to meet all of the needs of breeding bird species...

Characterization of pools and reaches with salmonid species in the Alsea and Nestucca Sub-Basins

Creator:: McKinney, Shaun P.
Abstract:: Streams in the Alsea and Nestucca Sub-Basins were characterized using suites of habitat attributes at the pool and reach scales. These suites were analyzed using a multivariate process with the Multiple Response Permutation Procedure (MRPP) to test for differences in groups. There were differences in the suite of habitat variables...

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...

Validating songbird habitat relationship models

Creator:: Wilson, Dorothy G.
Abstract:: Models are commonly used to assess and predict wildlife response to management practices. Model validation is essential if managers are to use them with confidence. Fifteen forest bird-habitat relationship models were developed by biologists using data collected from private forestland in southwest Washington. These models predict species' probability of occurring...

Analysis of a ³²P material balance method for measuring periphyton production in flowing water

Creator:: Gregory, Stanley Vincent
Abstract:: The ³²P material balance method for measuring periphyton production and grazing rates on periphyton in streams developed by Elwood and Nelson (1972) was evaluated by laboratory and field experiments. Three basic assumptions of the method were examined: 1) sloughing of periphyton from substrates is negligible, 2) sorption of ³²P onto...

Effects of o,p'-DDE on the immune system of juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Milston, Ruth Helen
Abstract:: Environmental factors such as chemical contamination can have immunomodulatory effects on the immune response of fish and may be contributing to the decline in salmonid populations by augmenting disease susceptibility. Xenobiotics can interfere with the immune system at several levels of complexity, and different immune cells and processes have variable...

The chronic toxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetra-chlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) to five selected aquatic organisms

Creator:: Miller, Richard A.
Abstract:: Five species of aquatic organisms were exposed to TCDD. Lethal effects of initial exposure to coho salmon of 23.4 nanogram TCDD/gram fish wet weight (23.4 ng/g), or equivalent to 100 nanogram per liter (100 ng/l) TCDD in water, for 24 hours were irreversible; 95% mortality occurred in 60 days. Exposure...
