Experimental analysis of intra- and interspecific competitive interactions between cutthroat trout and sculpins in small streams

Creator:: Ramirez, Ben S.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest ecoregion of North America, sculpins represent a major constituent of freshwater assemblages in coastal rivers. Based on their prevalence and abundance, sculpins are likely important ecologically, yet little is known of their interactions with co-occurring species, such as widely studied salmon and trout (salmonines). In this...

Distribution of juvenile salmonids and stream habitat relative to 15-year-old debris-flow deposits in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Kirkby, Kristen-Marie S.
Abstract:: Debris flows, common disturbances in many mountainous areas, initially scour or bury stream habitats; however, debris flows deliver vast amounts of wood, boulders, and gravel that may ultimately form complex stream habitat to potentially support a diverse salmonid assemblage. The materials deposited by debris flows would otherwise be inaccessible to...

A comparison of nest site selection and reproductive effort by reticulate sculpin (Cottus perplexus) in two streams of different geologies in the central Coast Range of Oregon

Creator:: Bateman, Douglas S.
Abstract:: Nest sites of reticulate sculpin (Cottus perplexus) were located in two stream reaches, one from a basalt basin and one from a sandstone basin. Stream reaches were similar in gradient, basin area, elevation, climate, and riparian vegetation but differed in biologic community structure and substrate characteristics. An electivity index was...

Spatial and temporal dynamics of sediment and wood in headwater streams in the central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: May, Christine L.
Abstract:: Channels that were scoured to bedrock by debris flows provided unique opportunities to calculate the rate of sediment and wood accumulation, to make inferences about processes associated with input and transport of sediment, and to gain insight into the temporal succession of channel morphology following disturbance. In an intensive investigation...

The influence of canopy type and seasons on adult aquatic insect emergence and riparian spiders in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Premdas, Sharmila
Abstract:: The objective of my study was to examine differences in riparian tree and shrub composition associated with adult aquatic emergence and implications for terrestrial spiders in these sites. Seasonal abundance and biomass of adult emergent aquatic insects, riparian arthropod abundances and spider densities were compared between conifer- and hardwood-dominated sites...

Resident cutthroat trout in the central Coast Range of Oregon : logging effects, habitat associations, and sampling protocols

Creator:: Connolly, Patrick John, 1955-
Abstract:: Populations of coastal cutthroat trout, Oncorhynchus clarki clarki, were sampled in 16 headwater streams from logged (20-30 and 40-60 years ago) and unlogged (stand age 125-150 years) basins. Basins logged 20-30 years ago supported the widest range of mean biomass of age 1+ or older cutthroat trout (g/m2) and the...

Influences of clearcut logging on macroinvertebrates in perennial and intermittent headwaters of the Central Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Banks, Janel
Abstract:: This research was designed to broaden the understanding of how timber-harvest affects aquatic macroinvertebrates in perennial and intermittent headwater streams. This study compared emergent and benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages from 20 headwater streams in the central Oregon Coast Range that varied by harvest condition and flow duration. Through comparison 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...

Regions to streams : spatial and temporal variation in stream occupancy patterns of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) on the Oregon coast

Creator:: Flitcroft, Rebecca L.
Abstract:: Aquatic ecological investigation is expanding to encompass considerations of multiple scales across large landscapes. Much of the analysis included in this work focuses specifically on coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in multiple subbasins on the Oregon coast. Coho salmon were chosen for an investigation of spatial scales, network connections, and life...
