Vegetation response following thinning in young Douglas-fir forests of western Oregon : can thinning accelerate development of late-successional structure and composition?

Creator:: Beggs, Liane R.
Abstract:: Across western Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia, forest management practices over the past century reduced the amount of late-successional forest while simultaneously increasing the amount of young (less than 80 years old), managed Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) dominated forests.

Predators associated with hemlock woolly adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae) infested western hemlock in the Pacific Northwest.

Creator:: Kohler, Glenn R.
Abstract:: The hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae, is causing widespread mortality of eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis, in the eastern United States. In the West, A. tsugae causes negligible damage to western hemlock, Tsuga heterophylla. Host tolerance traits and presence of endemic predators may be contributing to the relative tolerance of western...

An Investigation of soil, vegetation and mycorrhizal characteristics associated with native grass re-esablishment in crested wheatgrass seedings

Creator:: Raven, Karen A.
Abstract:: Since the 1930's, many fields on the Crooked River National grasslands have been seeded to crested wheatgrass (Agropyron desertorum). While some of these fields remain dominated by crested wheatgrass others had a greater presence of deep rooted native perennial grasses such as bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata). Twenty eight fields previously...

Chemical cues and the molecular basis of olfactory chemoreception in caudate amphibians

Creator:: Kiemnec, Karen M.
Abstract:: Chemoreception is one of the dominant sensory modalities for many species of salamanders (reviewed in Chapter 2). At least seven of the ten currently recognized salamander families are known to respond to some sort of chemical cue. These responses are as varied as delaying hatching, seeking refuge, or initiating aggressive...

Evaluating the fatty acid signature technique for studies of diet composition inpiscivorous waterbirds

Creator:: Myers, Anne Mary
Abstract:: This research was designed to evaluate the Fatty Acid Signature (FAS) technique as a non-lethal alternative to more traditional, and sometimes destructive, methods of studying the diet composition of piscivorous birds. Specifically we tested the technique with Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) which currently nest in large numbers in the Columbia...
