The mesoscale sea-surface circulation pattern within 400 km off Chile and between 18°S and 40°S latitude is described using chlorophyll and temperature images from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner NIMBUS-7 satellite. The data base is a set of four mosaics developed from band-3 (550 nm) images taken on June 4...
Two case studies of 5 ecosystems were used to examine the nitrogen fixation rate of red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.), varnishleaf (Ceanothus velutinus var. laevigatus (Hook.) T. & G.), deerbrush (C. i ntegerrimus H. & A.), and snowbrush (C. velutinus var. velutinus Dougl. Ex Hook). The first case study assayed...
Breeding ecology of long-billed curlews in Umatilla and Morrow Counties, Oregon, was studied during the spring and summer of 1978
and 1979. The first curlews were observed in the study areas on 16 and 19 March of 1978 and 1979, respectively. Earliest clutch completion and onset of incubation was on...
Archaeological research in the lower Rogue River Basin between Galice Creek on the middle Rogue River and Gold Beach at the mouth of the Rogue has been minimal. Tlegetlinten (35CU59), a site located at the confluence of the Rogue and Illinois rivers is one of only three sites that have...
Archaeological investigations of the Applegate Lake project area were conducted by the Department of Anthropology, Oregon State University Univerfrom 1977-1980. A cultural sequence believed to span over 8000 years was revealed from a series of six sites. Several of these sites contained lanceolate or leaf-shaped projectile points. A large serrated...
Evidence recovered from the Marial site (35CU84) on the lower Rogue River in southwestern Oregon will provide a much needed source of archaeological data for the region of southwestern Oregon. It exists as a deep, multicomponent, C14 dated site in a region typified by single component sites
and a lack...
Results of a study of spatial and temporal utilization of a tidal river estuary by hatchery and wild juvenile salmonids
(Oncorhynchus spp. and Salmo spp,), of overlap in food habits of hatchery and wild juvenile salmonids, and of size and relative
abundance of associated fish species are reported in this...
A series of factorial experiments were conducted using eyed oyster larvae (Crassostrea gigas) reared at a commercial hatchery in Netarts, Oregon. The objectives of the study were to obtain the highest percentage of setting larvae and the best survival of the spat. Experiments on the combined effects of temperature and...
I studied abundance patterns and habitat use of eight cavitynesting bird species in the Coast Ranges of Western Oregon during the
spring and summer of 1985 and 1986. Three age classes of unmanaged Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands were selected for study:
young (40-80 yrs), mature (80-200 yrs), and old-growth (>200...
Euphausiids constituted the major food of five co-occuring species of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.). Copepods, decapods, cephalopods, amphipods, fishes and other pelagic prey were also consumed but were
less important to the overall diet. Two species, S. flavidus and S. diploproa, were relatively euryphagous, utilizing a high number of prey taxa....
