Disturbance and roosting ecology of California brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus) on East Sand Island in the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Wright, Sadie K.
Abstract:: The California brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis californicus) is listed as an endangered species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. The Recovery Plan for this subspecies outlines the need to "Assure long-term protection of adequate food supplies and essential. . .roosting. . . habitat throughout the range." I investigated the effects...

Chlamydiae under stress : environmental conditions influence the production and localization of chlamydial antigens

Creator:: Brown, Wendy J.
Abstract:: Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular pathogens that cause several serious conditions within the human host. Many of the symptoms associated with infection are thought to stem from the development of aberrant, or persistent, chlamydiae. Factors leading to chlamydial persistence include deprivation of amino acids, the release of certain cellular factors, or...

Phenotypic variation in the sexual attractiveness pheromone of the red-sided garter snake, Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis

Creator:: LeMaster, Michael P.
Abstract:: Pheromones are chemical cues produced by organisms that affect the behavior and/or physiology of conspecifics. The orchestration of reproductive behaviors in many animals depends on the expression of sex pheromones. In insects, intraspecific variation in sex pheromone expression is commonly observed and often influences social interactions between individuals. To what...

An evaluation of temperature prediction models on Coastal Oregon and western Cascade streams

Creator:: Tanner, Robert W.
Abstract:: Evaluations were performed on three stream temperature prediction models: Heat Source 5.6, SSTEMP 3.9, and Brown's equation. Each model was evaluated using data collected from three Coastal Oregon and two western Cascade streams. Stream temperature simulations were performed on two forested reaches, one clearcut reach, and one buffered reach, for...

The effect of biological deterioration on the performance of nailed oriented strand board sheathing to Douglas-fir framing member connections

Creator:: Kent, Scott M.
Abstract:: Service life prediction models for light-framed wood structures require an extensive quantity of empirical data on deterioration pathologies for the numerous structural components, as well as mechanistic approaches to determine their capacity at various levels of deterioration. The data and models presented in this study satisfy a portion of the...

Seasonal influences on food availability and diet of coastal cutthroat trout in relation to riparian vegetation

Creator:: Romero, Nicolas
Abstract:: Current riparian management objectives in the Pacific Northwest promote both retention of existing conifers and conversion of hardwood-dominated areas to conifers. Although understanding of relationships between riparian vegetation and salmonid prey availability is growing, temporal variation in these relationships is poorly understood. Seasonal fluxes in availability of aquatic and terrestrial...

End-user testing for the Lyee methodology using the screen transition paradigm and WYSIWYT

Creator:: Brown, Darren, Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, and Rothermel, Gregg
Abstract:: End-user specification of Lyee programs is one goal envisioned by the Lyee methodology. But with any software development effort comes the possibility of faults. Thus, providing end users a means to enter their own specifications is not enough; they must also be provided with the means to find faults in...

Organizational climate and innovativeness in the forest products industry

Creator:: Crespell, Pablo Javier, 1968-
Abstract:: There has been an increasing realization of the value of innovativeness, the orientation toward innovation, for firms thriving to gain competitive edge. The US forest products industry is no different in this respect and many companies have active initiatives to bring about creativity from their own employees. At the same...

Seasonal changes in distribution of coastal cutthroat trout in an isolated watershed

Creator:: Hendricks, Steve
Abstract:: In an effort to identify seasonal distribution patterns and habitat requirements of coastal cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki clarki, movement of tagged and marked individuals (35 radio-tagged, 753 PIT-tagged, and 5,322 fin-clipped) was monitored over a 14-month period in an isolated watershed in southwestern Oregon. Emigration out of the basin was...
