Population and production ecology of Lipsothrix spp. (Diptera:Tipulidae)

Creator:: Dudley, Thomas L.
Abstract:: Craneflies of the genus Lipsothrix inhabit decomposing wood in streams. The life cycles and ecological relationships of L. nigrilinea (Doane) and L. fenderi Alexander were investigated to determine how they exploit and respond to the wood habitat and their role in degradation of woody debris in western Oregon. Surveys of...

Foraging ecology of pollinators in the early stages of secondary succession in the western hemlock (Tsuga heteropohylla (Raf.) Sarg.) zone of the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Burikam, Intawat
Abstract:: The early stages of secondary succession of the McDonald and Paul Dunn State Forests, Corvallis, Oregon, were grouped into three stages; herb, herb-shrub, and shrub, based on vegetation types. Flowers of herbaceous species and residual shrubs dominated in the early years after clear-cutting. Woody plants became increasing abundant in the...

Comparative studies of the population ecology and life history patterns of an alkaline salt lake insect : Ephydra (Hydropyrus) hians Say (Diptera:Ephydridae)

Creator:: Herbst, David B.
Abstract:: Seasonal abundance and life history traits were compared between populations of the brine fly Ephydra (Hydrokyrus) hians Say (Diptera:Ephydridae), from two western Great Basin alkaline salt lakes. Abert Lake, Oregon, has a relatively low salinity (20-30 g/1 total dissolved solids) and more co-inhabitant benthic species than the higher salinity Mono...

Plant colonization of gopher mounds in adjacent pasture and prairie communities

Creator:: Macdonald, Catherine A.
Abstract:: I used field experiments to study how plants in two grassland communities colonized soil mounds made by the Camas pocket gopher, Thomomys bulbivorus (Richardson). I identified potential mound colonizers in each source of colonization (buried propagule bank, seed rain, and established vegetation) and then measured species specific rates of colonization...

Status, distribution and seasonal variation of filbert aphid resistance to selected insecticides in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Katundu, Juma
Abstract:: Levels of resistance to six selected insecticides of eleven field populations of the filbert aphid Mvzocallis coryli (Goetze) were determined by using the leaf-dip residue technique. Test insecticides included compounds widely used in commercial filbert orchards, namely, carbaryl, diazinon, endosulfan, phosalone, fenvalerate and oxydemetonmethyl. Aphid samples were collected within a...

Ecological relationships among western Ephemerellidae : growth, life cycles, food habits, and habitat relationships

Creator:: Hawkins, Charles Patrick
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to describe the life cycles, feeding ecology, and habitat use of western species in the mayfly family Ephemerellidae. Data were used to compare the ecological relationships and strategies among species and to examine patterns of adaptive radiation within the family. Data were further used...

Factors influencing pesticide resistance in Psylla pyricola Foerster and susceptibilty in its mirid predator, Deraeocoris brevis Knight

Creator:: Baan, Hugo E., van de
Abstract:: Factors influencing pesticide susceptibility and resistance were studied in Psylla pyricola Foerster, and its mirid predator, Deraeocoris brevis Knight in the Rogue River Valley, Oregon. Factors studied were at the biochemical, life history, and population ecology levels. Studies on detoxification enzymes showed that glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase activities...

Arthropod community organization and development in pear

Creator:: Gut, Larry J.
Abstract:: Arthropod communities in pear are conceptualized as hierarchically organized systems in which several levels of organization or subsystems can be recognized between the species population level and the community as a whole. An individual tree is taken to be the community habitat with arthropod subcommunities developing on leaf, fruit and...

Host suitability studies of Douglas-fir and white alder to the gypsy moth

Creator:: Joseph, Gladwin
Abstract:: Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii and white alder, Alnus rhombifolia, species that are prevalent in the Pacific Northwest, were fed to larvae of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. Gypsy moth larvae from different familial lines (egg masses) from a single geographic population were evaluated on these hosts. The larvae were fed...

Classical biological control of the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) (Homoptera:Aphididae) in western Oregon

Creator:: Messing, Russell H.
Abstract:: A classical biological control project was undertaken against the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze), in western Oregon. Hazelnut orchards in Spain, France, and Italy were searched for natural enemies of the aphid, and a parasitic wasp, Trioxys pallidus Haliday, was imported, quarantined, mass-reared, and released in Oregon orchards. The wasp...
