Individual and demographic responses of the gray-tailed Vole (Microtus canicaudus) to an endocrine disruptor

Creator:: Caslin, Tracie M.
Abstract:: In an experimental field study, populations of gray-tailed voles (Microtus canicaudus) were exposed to a commercial formulation of vinclozolin, a fungicide effective for disease control on ornamental plants, turf grasses, and fruits and vegetables. Vinclozolin has been shown in laboratory experiments to behave as an androgen antagonist, impairing the reproductive...

Daily activity patterns, survival, and movements of red tree voles (Arborimus longicaudus) in western Oregon

Creator:: Swingle, James Kerr
Abstract:: We radiocollared a sample of 61 red tree voles in Douglas County, Oregon and monitored their movements to determine daily, seasonal, and sexual differences in behavior and home range attributes. We also collected information on nest attributes, survival, and dispersal of the radiocollared voles. Individual voles were monitored for periods...

Parental care of peregrine falcons in interior Alaska and the effects of low-altitude jet overflights

Creator:: Palmer, Angela G.
Abstract:: To assess the impact of low-altitude jet overflights on parental care, we examined nest attendance, time-activity budgets, and provisioning rates of 21 Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) pairs breeding along the Tanana River, Alaska in 1995 and 1996. Several intrinsic and extrinsic factors influenced attributes of nesting behavior. Female nest attendance...

Untangling the complexity of nearshore ecosystems : examining issues of scaling and variability in benthic communities

Creator:: Schoch, G. Carl
Abstract:: The objective of this research was to improve our understanding of how changes in the environment affect ecological processes. Change detection is often confounded by the large variation found in ecological data due to the difficulty of finding replicates in nature. Intertidal communities were chosen for studies of biophysical interactions...

Selection on larval and adult body size in a marine fish: potential evolutionary responses and effects on population dynamics

Creator:: Johnson, Darren W.
Abstract:: Many species have complex life cycles in which a dispersive larval stage is followed by a relatively sedentary adult stage. For such species, reproductive output is often high and large variation in survivorship throughout early life-history phases (eggs and larvae) can lead to dramatic fluctuations in recruitment which may in...

New sources and linked AFLP markers for Eastern filbert blight resistance in hazelnut

Creator:: Chen, Honglin
Abstract:: Eastern filbert blight (EFB), caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Miiller, is a devastating disease to orchards of the European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Host resistance is the most desirable means of disease control. Fifty-eight hazelnut accessions, including European cultivars and interspecific hybrids were evaluated...

Sensory and chemical analysis of 1997 Oregon Pinot noir enzyme treated wines

Creator:: Goldberg, Naomi
Abstract:: Pinot noir has a reputation for lower color stability than other red wine varieties. Because it has relatively low anthocyanin and phenolic content and lacks acylated anthocyanin pigments compared to other red vinifera varieties, color extraction and stability are particularly important. Varying the processing during fermentation of red wine can...

Biodiversity : illustrations of some concepts, causes, and consequences

Creator:: Russell, Roland B.
Abstract:: Careful analysis and thoughtful synthesis will be necessary for expanding the envelope of ecological understanding. This work is my attempt at communicating both of these, in relation to three questions about our understanding of the structure and dynamics of biological diversity. These questions focus on a) advancing our understanding of...

Foraging ecology of caspian terns and double-crested cormorants in the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Lyons, Donald E.
Abstract:: A detailed understanding of the foraging ecology of species preying upon threatened or endangered prey may contribute to identifying and evaluating management options to reduce predation, when such management is deemed appropriate. In the Columbia River estuary, Caspian terns (Sterna caspia) and double-crested cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) have been identified as...

Whale Cove (35LNC60) : an archaeological investigation on the central Oregon coast

Creator:: Rogers, Ann Bennett
Abstract:: The Whale Cove Site, 35LNC60, is a shell midden, showing occupations from 3010 B.P. to 330 B.P., spanning the Early and Late Littoral Periods. Analysis of mammalian faunal remains, bone and antler tools, lithics and discriptions of recovered shellfish artifacts allows for chronological refinement of the previously mentioned archeologically defined...
