Red tree voles in fragmented forests

Creator:: Piasecki, Jason T.
Abstract:: The red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus) is an arboreal Arvicoline rodent endemic to conifer dominated forests of western Oregon and northwestern California. While commonly associated with old forests, often inhabiting stands over 80 years old, tree voles have also been found in young forests between 20 and 80 years old....

The Role of Trees and Thermal Refugia in Greater Sage-Grouse Brood Habitat Selection

Creator:: Dungannon, Tyler D.
Abstract:: It is well documented that greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter sage-grouse) populations have been in decline throughout their range in the western United States. Currently, sage-grouse occupy approximately 56% of their historic distribution prior to European settlement. Numerous factors have been cited as potential causes for declining productivity and contraction...

Phylogeography and population structure of least terns (Sterna antillarum)

Creator:: Draheim, Hope M.
Abstract:: Historically, least terns (Sterna antillarum) were one of the most common tern species in North America. However, population declines have resulted from direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures on their breeding and foraging habitat. Three subspecies of least terns have been described within the United States: California least tern (S. a....

Prespawning Mortality of Fall Creek Willamette Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha): Evaluation of the Effects of a New Trap at the Adult Fish Collection Facility

Creator:: Carey, Katherine
Abstract:: Annual rates of prespawn mortality (PSM) in adult Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) trapped and transported upstream of dams in the Willamette River basin are high (often >40%) and could limit the ability to restore natural populations of spring Chinook salmon if not reduced. Improvements at the U.S. Army Corps of...

Geographic distributions of prey of the northern spotted owl in the central western Cascades, Oregon, 1988-2009

Creator:: Smoluk, Alexis
Abstract:: Spatial variation in the diet of the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) influences owl home ranges, and understanding this relationship will aid managers in forest management prescriptions that influence spotted owl recovery. This study describes the spatial variation in owl diet based on 4183 prey collected at 114 owl...

The Breeding Ecology and Foraging Niche of Aleutian Terns (Onychoprion aleuticus) in the Kodiak Archipelago, Alaska

Creator:: Tengeres, Jill E.
Abstract:: The Aleutian tern (Onychoprion aleuticus) is a species of high conservation concern in Alaska due to large declines at known breeding locations since the 1960s. Due to the small population size and ephemeral behavior of this species on the nesting grounds, there is little basic biological information available and data...

Factors influencing nest success of greater sandhill cranes at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon

Creator:: Ivey, Gary L.
Abstract:: I developed a priori hypotheses and used logistic regression to model Greater Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis tabida) nest success in relation to weather, habitat and management variables for cranes breeding at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR) in southeast Oregon. My primary interest was to investigate the effects of habitat conditions...

Greater Sage-Grouse Demography, Habitat Selection, and Habitat Connectivity in Relation to Western Juniper and its Management

Creator:: Olsen, Andrew C.
Abstract:: The expansion of native, woody plants is a global phenomenon with characteristics and effects that are often indistinguishable from exotic invasions. These expansions have largely been driven by altered fire regimes and favorable climatic conditions. In the Great Basin of western North America, expansion of conifers such as western juniper...

Spatiotemporal Associations of Abundance and Vital Rates of Co-occurring Small Mammals in a Late Successional Forest

Creator:: Weldy, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Informed conservation of small mammals, ecosystems, and predators requires a detailed understanding of how small mammals species and communities vary in both space and time, as well as the relative cyclicity and synchrony of this variation. This variation can be especially informative to land managers interested in manipulating the abundance...

Northern fur seal reproductive rates and early maternal care

Creator:: Kunisch, E. (Erin)
Abstract:: The majority of the world's breeding population of northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) is found on the Pribilof Islands (St. Paul and St. George) in the Bering Sea, Alaska. Pup production on these islands experienced an irregular but overall decline since the early 1970's. Between 1998 and 2010, pup production...
