  • Science, service, and specialized agriculture : the re-invention of the maraschino cherry

    Creator:
    Jolly, J. Christopher
    Abstract:
    From 1925 to 1930, Ernest H. Wiegand, a professor of Horticultural Products at Oregon State Agricultural College, developed an improved brining process for cherries. Brined cherries are used in the production of maraschino and glacé cherries, which already had a sizable market in the United States by the 1920s. This...

  • Activity of bats in thinned, unthinned, and old-growth forests in the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Humes, Marcia Lynn
    Abstract:
    Ten species of bats occur in the Oregon Coast Range and are hypothesized to be associated with late-successional forests. The development of characteristics of late-successional forests in young forest stands can be accelerated through silvicultural practices such as thinning I examined the effects of thinning on the use of forests...

  • Ecological implications of trout introductions to lakes of the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho

    Creator:
    Bahls, Peter F.
    Abstract:
    The widespread introduction of trout to naturally fishless mountain lakes in the western United States has been accompanied by little research. The ecological role of trout populations occurring in 91 lakes of the central Selway Bitterroot Wilderness, Idaho, was examined with respect to 1) the sampling variability of biological and...

  • Influence of limited access roads on Roosevelt elk in the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Cole, Eric K.
    Abstract:
    No studies have evaluated the effects of limited vehicle access on movements, survival and habitat use of Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) . We installed twenty gates, restricting motorized vehicle access by the public in seven discrete Road Management Areas (RMAs), comprising 35% of the study area. We radio-tracked 31...

  • The effects of forage improvement practices on Roosevelt elk in the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Stussy, Rosemary J.
    Abstract:
    Forage availability, diets, distribution, and productivity were compared for Roosevelt elk, Cervus elaphus roosevelti, using improved (i.e. seeded, fertilized, and grazed) and untreated areas of the Oregon Coast Range. Seasonal forage availability was substantially different on 1-year-old improved and untreated clearcuts, but the differences diminished by clearcut age 4 and...

  • The Ecology of Celtis reticulata Torr. (Netleaf hackberry) in Idaho

    Creator:
    DeBolt, Ann M.
    Abstract:
    The ecology of netleaf hackberry (Celtis reticulata Torr.) is poorly known throughout its broad western range. To gain some understanding of the species' basic ecology, three components of its life history were studied. First, seed germination requirements were analyzed under laboratory conditions. Second, hackberry population dynamics were evaluated from tree...

  • Small-mammal herpetofauna abundance in riparian and upslope areas of five forest conditions

    Creator:
    Gomez, Douglas M.
    Abstract:
    I compared species composition and relative abundance of'small mammals and herpetofauna between riparian and upslope habitats among 5 forest types. Riparian- and upslope- associated species were identified based on capture frequency. Small mammal species richness was similar between stream and upslope habitats and among the 5 forest types. There were...

  • In vitro host range of aquatic birnaviruses and their relationship to virulence

    Creator:
    Ögut, Hamdi
    Abstract:
    Of 109 aquatic birnaviruses (AB) belonging to 9 serogroup A, all replicated and produced rapid and extensive cytopathology in CHSE-214 and RTG-2 cells, whereas only half produced significant levels of cytopathological effect (CPE) in two nonsalmonid cell lines tested (EPC and FHM). In many instances it was found that although...

  • Roosevelt elk habitat use in the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Pope, Michael D. (Michael Dickens)
    Abstract:
    Few studies have evaluated non-migratory Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) interactions and habitat use on lands undergoing extensive timber removal. We captured and radio-tracked for 14 months representatives from 29 different bands of elk across a 37,000 ha area of Oregon's Coast Range. We identified 6 habitat variables within individual...

  • The effect of fire regime on coarse woody debris in the west central Cascades, Oregon

    Creator:
    Wright, Pamela J.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the effect of fire regime on coarse woody debris (CWD) mass using a combination of field data and modeling. The objectives were to use field sampling to determine how CWD differs between two areas that have had different fire regimes, and investigate how fire frequency and severity,...
