    Creator:
    Schroer, Gregory L.
    Abstract:
    Seasonal movements, home ranges, core areas and habitat use patterns of hunted, migratory Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) were investigated on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. Radio telemetry was used to obtain more than 3,100 locations of 9 elk from May 1984 - March 1985, and November - December, 1985. Radio-collared...

  • Foraging ecology of prairie falcons in northern California

    Creator:
    Haak, Bruce A.
    Abstract:
    Nine Prairie Falcons (Falco mexicanus) were radio-tagged in northern California during the spring and summer of 1976 and 1977 to study foraging behavior. The mean home range size for 3 males was 227.8 km²; largest portions of the home range were used during the incubation period. Shifts in foraging areas...

  • Morphological changes in introduced eastern cottontails in Oregon

    Creator:
    Rhodes, Mark Nicolas
    Abstract:
    Descendants of eastern cottontails from Ohio (Sylvilagns floridanus) introduced in Benton County, Oregon and cottontails from Ohio were sampled and analyzed morphometrically and colorimetrically. In general, Oregon cottontails were smaller and lighter in color than Ohio rabbits. Introgression and interspecific competition with the smaller and darker colored native brush rabbit...

  • Selected life history aspects and habitat use by Merriam's wild turkeys in Oregon

    Creator:
    Lutz, Robert Scott
    Abstract:
    Habitat use and reproductive success by Merriam's wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo merriami) were studied in Wasco County, Oregon, during 1981-82. This low density turkey population selectively used forested cover types characterized by a variety of structural features, species, and age classes. They avoided monotypic forested cover types, used non-forested cover...

  • Home range and habitat use of pileated woodpeckers, western Oregon

    Creator:
    Mellen, Teresa Kim
    Abstract:
    Home range and habitat use by pileated woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus) were studied in the Coast Ranges of western Oregon. Radio-telemetry was used to determine home ranges of 11 woodpeckers and habitat use of 14 woodpeckers after young had fledged during summers from 1982 to 1985. Home range size for individual...

    Abstract:
    Seasonal diet and food selection of California quail (Callipepla californica) were studied at E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon, during 1985 to 1987. Analysis of diets of 105 quail, along with information from 117 quail taken during 1976 to 1978 revealed 14 key plant foods. Collectively, the key foods composed 87%...
