Epidemiology, Etiology, Genetics and Predictive Surveillance Modeling of the Deer Chewing Louse Damalinia (Cervicola) Species

Creator:: Mortenson, Jack A.
Abstract:: A seasonal hair-loss syndrome of native deer began to occur in the Pacific Northwest United States in the mid-1990s. Clinical manifestations of the disease typically include large numbers of chewing lice on Columbia Black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and Columbia White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus leucurus). Expenditure of energy responding to...

Riparian vegetation and larval Pacific Giant (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) and adult Western Redback (Plethodon vehiculum) salamanders in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Graff, Paula (Paula Hayes)
Abstract:: Riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest provide important biotic and abiotic features, such as down wood, moist microsites, and abundant invertebrate prey that benefit aquatic and terrestrial amphibians. Reported high densities of amphibians from streams and riparian areas in the Pacific Northwest highlight their importance in riparian food webs. Amphibians...

Range-wide abundance and fluctuating asymmetry patterns of sagebrush-obligate passerine birds

Creator:: Krissman, Cortnie M.
Abstract:: North American sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems are suffering from reductions in habitat extent and quality. Only about 50% of sagebrush remains from pre-settlement conditions, and much of the remaining habitat is fragmented or degraded by invasive species, fire suppression and overgrazing. Sagebrush-obligate species are experiencing population declines as a result...

Over-winter demography of the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus) in fragmented and continuous habitats

Creator:: Brunkal, Heidi L.
Abstract:: Large scale disruption of natural habitats worldwide has led to concern over the effects of habitat fragmentation on wildlife populations. Small scale experiments may be a useful tool for discovering effects of fragmentation over larger landscape scales. I sought to explore the potential for using voles as an experimental model...

Small mammal responses to silvicultural fuels treatments in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Manning, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Despite the belief that fuels management, a form of prescribed fire that reduces accumulated fuels in commercially thinned forests, is necessary to restore forest 'health' in the Pacific Northwest, its effects on wildlife has received little attention in the scientific literature. Because fuels management is supported, funded, and implemented nationwide...

Conservation and spatial use analyses for the recovery of bighorn sheep in the Peninsular Ranges

Creator:: Ostermann, Stacey D.
Abstract:: The status of wild sheep in North America typifies the plight of many wildlife species in modern times: wild sheep have declined to 10-40% of their numbers during pristine times and on a global scale approximately 31% of Caprine are considered threatened or critical. As human populations and the number...

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...

Butterfly and flower community composition among prairie-oak ecosystem habitats in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Powers, Breanna F.
Abstract:: Prairie-oak ecosystems in the Willamette Valley, Oregon have experienced habitat loss and degradation; most of these ecosystems are fragmented into smaller patches. Prairie-oak butterfly species, in the Willamette Valley, have decreased dramatically due to loss or degradation of habitat. More research is needed on sustaining the populations of butterflies in...

Breeding bird community composition in relation to riparian vegetation structure in grazed habitats

Creator:: Sanders, Todd Alan
Abstract:: Riparian zones provide habitat for breeding birds in the semiarid western United States; however, there are few data available that address the effects of livestock grazing strategies on riparian habitats and avian communities. Documenting avian community composition in different riparian vegetation communities and relating vegetation communities to livestock grazing strategies...
