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...

Effects of habitat manipulations on California quail in western Oregon

Creator:: Oates, Russell M.
Abstract:: The effects of disking, food plantings, and wheat plantings on a population of California quail (Lophortyx californicus) were studied from fall 1976 to spring 1978 on the E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon. Twelve 16.2-ha study sites were established: 3 study sites for each treatment and 3 control sites. Disked areas,...

Nutritional ecology of cervids in old-growth forests in Olympic National Park, Washington

Creator:: Leslie, David M.
Abstract:: Nutritional ecology of unhunted and sympatric populations of Roosevelt elk, Cervus elaphus roosevelti, and Columbian black-tailed deer, Odocoileus hemionus columbianus, was investigated in old-growth forests of the Hoh Valley in Olympic National Park, Washington, from September 1979 to November 1981. Seasonal diets of both cervids generally were comprised of common...

A total of 130 sightings of birds was noted during the breeding seasons in 1982 and 1983, but only 100 were re-located for vegetation analysis. More sightings of birds...

Development and application of a resource selection model for pygmy rabbits

Creator:: Meisel, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Pygmy rabbits (Brachylagus idahoensis) in Oregon and Washington are a sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata spp.) obligate species of concern because of declining populations and extirpation from much of their range. Efforts are underway to establish a captive bred population of the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit in Washington state for reintroduction into...

Comparative wintering ecology of two subspecies of sandhill crane : informing conservation planning in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta region of California

Creator:: Ivey, Gary L.
Abstract:: California's Central Valley agricultural landscapes provide several important wintering regions for Pacific Flyway sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) populations; however, the value of those regions is being compromised by urban expansion, other developments, and conversions to incompatible crop types. Greater (G. c. tabida) and lesser sandhill cranes (G. c. canadensis) both...

Ecology of feral pigs on Santa Catalina Island

Creator:: Baber, Daniel W.
Abstract:: A feral pig population on Santa Catalina Island, California, was studied for 17 months beginning in July 1980. Density was estimated to be 21 to 34 pigs/km² (95% confidence interval) using capture-recapture techniques. Dry season home ranges determined from radio-telemetry data were small and differed significantly between boars and sows....

Use of wetlands in the Tulare Lake Basin by wintering ducks

Creator:: Coe, Holly N.
Abstract:: I evaluated the use of various wetlands by wintering ducks in the Tulare Lake Basin (TLB), California, during October 1982 - April 1983 and September 1983 - March 1984. Aerial waterfowl counts of the TLB were used to document spacial use patterns by ducks. Ground surveys on evaporation ponds in...

Evidence of a trophic cascade among wolves, elk, and aspen in Yellowstone National Park, USA

Creator:: Halofsky, Joshua S.
Abstract:: According to general top-down trophic theory, in the presence of carnivores, herbivore behavior and/or densities could change and result in an overall decrease in herbivory on plant communities. In this dissertation, I examined the potential relationship between gray wolf (Canis lupus) presence and absence on elk (Cervus elaphus) herbivory of...
