Mark-recapture estimates of population parameters for selected species of small mammals

Creator:: Hammond, Ellen L.
Abstract:: I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...

Residence and growth of juvenile chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in Netarts Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Wilson, Matthew T.
Abstract:: Estuarine residence and growth of juvenile chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) from Netarts Bay, Oregon were estimated from daily-formed growth increments of sagittal otoliths which are distinguishable from accretion patterns formed during freshwater residence. Estuarine residence time was inversely related to the average size at which juvenile chum salmon entered Netarts...

Electrofishing mark-recapture and depletion methodologies evoke behavioral and physiological changes in cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki)

Creator:: Mesa, Matthew G.
Abstract:: We examined the behavioral and physiological responses of wild and hatchery-reared cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki subjected to a single electroshock, electroshock plus marking, and multiple electroshocking in natural and artificial streams. In a natural stream, trout released after capture by electrofishing and marking showed distinct behavioral changes: fish immediately sought...

Seasonal movement, residency, and migration patterns of Wilson's Snipe (Gallinago delicata) across the annual cycle in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.

Creator:: Cline, Brittany B.
Abstract:: Studies of avian movement ecology afford essential insights regarding species' life histories, population dynamics, habitat and resource requirements, and other ecological relationships. While it is widely recognized that events in different stages of the annual cycle have important implications for processes in avian ecology, evolution, and conservation, challenges associated with...

The effects of the herbicides Diquat and Dichlobenil on pond invertebrates

Creator:: Wilson, Dennis Carl
Abstract:: The acute toxicity of Diquat (1:1-ethylene-2:2' dipyridylium dibromide) and Dichlobenil (2, 6-dichlorobenzonitrile) to six selected pond invertebrates was determined using the median tolerance limit estimation method. Diquat was more toxic to the amphipod, Hyalella azeteca than to the aquatic insects Callibaetis, Limnephilus, Enallagma, Libellula, and Tendipedidae. The addition of mud...

The effects of different otolith ageing techniques on estimates of growth and mortality for two species of rockfishes, Sebastes pinniger and Sebastes diploproa

Creator:: Wilson, Christopher D.
Abstract:: The use of some age determination methods may result in the incorrect age structure of fish populations. This in turn may lead to incorporation of inappropriate data into models used for stock management. Otoliths are commonly used for determining the age of fishes, and ages based on the whole otoliths...

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...

A Meta-Analysis of Lesser Prairie-Chicken Nesting and Brood-Rearing Habitats: Implications for Habitat Management

Creator:: Hagen, Christian A., Grisham, Blacke A., Boal, Clint W., and Haukos, David A.
Abstract:: The distribution and range of lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) has been reduced by >90% since European settlement of the Great Plains of North America. Currently, lesser prairie-chickens occupy 3 general vegetation communities: sand sagebrush (Artemisia filifolia), sand shinnery oak (Quercus havardii), and mixed-grass prairies juxtaposed with Conservation Reserve Program grasslands....

The effects of natural fire and recreational disturbance on montane forest ecosystem composition, structure and nitrogen dynamics, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Creator:: Wilson, John K. (John Kevin)
Abstract:: Disturbance, whether natural or of human origin, modifies to varying degrees many ecosystem attributes. Fire is a natural process in the montane forests of southern Oregon but for much of the 20th century fire was viewed as an apocalypse and thus fervently suppressed. Effective natural resource management requires an understanding...

Accounting for Transient Dynamics Improves use of Marine Protected Areas as a Reference Point for Fisheries Management

Creator:: Quennessen, Victoria I.
Abstract:: Fisheries management that is based on quantitative assessment has commonly relied on estimating the unfished biomass of a fished stock to compare current and historical population size. Developing predictive models for this requires many years of catch and abundance data. Smaller, new, or mainly recreational fisheries may not have the...
