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 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...

Effects of Elevated CO₂ on Speckled Sanddab (Citharichthys stigmaeus) Behavior

Creator:: Andrade, Jessica F.
Abstract:: The direct and indirect effects of ocean acidification (OA) are a growing concern, particularly in areas already experiencing elevated levels of oceanic CO₂. Studies with marine fishes suggest that elevated CO₂ levels may affect behavior by interfering with an important brain neurotransmitter. Studies examining the effects of OA fish behavior...

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...

Ecology of Columbian black-tailed deer fawns in western Oregon

Creator:: Pamplin, Nathan P.
Abstract:: Little is known about Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) because of their elusive nature and the logistical difficulty of studying them in densely forested and mountainous terrain. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has identified fawn survival as an important gap in the current knowledge of demography and...

Ecology of populations of Van Dyke's salamanders in the Cascade Range of Washington State

Creator:: McIntyre, Aimee P.
Abstract:: The Van Dyke's salamander (Plethodon vandyke,) is a rare species endemic to Washington State. It has been found in cool moist microhabitats along streams, splash zones of waterfalls, and headwater seeps. We explored the association of the Van Dyke's salamander with hydrologic condition, geomorphology, disturbance characteristics, and vegetation structure in...

Population and behavioral responses of small mammals to silviculture and downed wood treatments in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Waldien, David L.
Abstract:: Forest managers are challenged to provide timber revenues and other resources for society while protecting and enhancing components of biodiversity that are often associated with older forests or older forest structure, such as dead wood. We examined small mammal response to timber harvest in stands 8-10 years following group-selection, two-story,...

Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) and Brandt’s Cormorants (P. penicillatus) Breeding at East Sand Island in the Columbia River Estuary : Foraging Ecology, Colony Connectivity, and Overwinter Dispersal

Creator:: Peck-Richardson, Adam
Abstract:: Double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) and Brandt’s cormorants (P. penicillatus) nest sympatrically in a large mixed-species colony on East Sand Island (ESI) in the Columbia River estuary. Ecological theory predicts that such morphologically similar species will partition prey resources when faced with resource limitations. During the summer of 2014, I investigated...

Movement and demography of larval coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) in streams with culverts in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Sagar, Jina P.
Abstract:: Barriers to the movement of aquatic organisms can increase the genetic and spatial isolation of populations and may decrease the viability of these regional populations. Focus on culvert passage issues has increased as federal agencies attempt to inventory and replace road-crossing stream culverts that are barriers to the movement of...

Pre- and Post-settlement Processes of Northern Rock Sole (Lepidopsetta polyxystra) in Relation to Interannual Variability in Temperature and Productivity in the Gulf of Alaska

Creator:: Fedewa, Erin J.
Abstract:: Understanding the effects of climate variability on growth dynamics and timing of early life history events in marine fishes can provide insights into survival, recruitment and productivity. Field collections (2005, 2007, 2009-2011) were combined with otolith microstructural analysis to examine interannual variation in larval and juvenile growth rates, size at...
