Extrinsic and Intrinsic Factors Associated with Reproductive Success of Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia) at East Sand Island, Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Bailey, Olivia A.
Abstract:: Declines in wild salmonid (Oncorhynchus spp.) populations in the Columbia River basin have resulted in managers identifying that avian predation on juvenile salmonids is an important limiting factor for salmonid recovery. Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia), particularly those nesting in the Columbia River estuary, were identified as key avian predators that...

Demography, home range, and habitat selection of northern spotted owls in the Ashland Watershed

Creator:: Schilling, Jason W.
Abstract:: Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) inhabit productive forests that historically supported frequent, large, variable-severity fires in the Klamath province of southwestern Oregon occur in complex. The potential for high-severity wildfire remains high throughout this region, so remaining spotted owl habitat is at risk. An adaptive management approach to fire...

American marten distributions over a 28 year period : relationships with landscape change in Sagehen Creek Experimental Forest, California, USA

Creator:: Moriarty, Katie M.
Abstract:: The distribution of American martens (Martes americana) within Sagehen Creek Experimental Forest (SCEF), Tahoe National Forest, California has been periodically documented from 1980–1993. This area has been the location of nine marten surveys, each involving a systematic detection/nondetection survey on the same grid. These data are an unprecedented time series...

Habitat use, movements, and behavior of postbreeding female canvasbacks in Manitoba

Creator:: Devries, James H.
Abstract:: The habitat use, movements, and behavioral energetics of unsuccessfully breeding female canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) were examined during the preflightless period in southern Manitoba during 1989-90. Following breeding attempts, unsuccessful females generally expanded their home range on the breeding area, remained there for up to one month, preferentially used large semipermanent...

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...

Abundance and habitat associations of Washington ground squirrels in north-central Oregon

Creator:: Greene, Eric
Abstract:: Much of the Columbia River Basin has been cultivated for agriculture, which has reduced and fragmented the native shrub-steppe habitats. As a result, the range of the Washington ground squirrel (Spermophilus washingtoni) has been significantly reduced, prompting the states of Washington and Oregon to review their status. Consequently, I investigated...

Mark-recapture estimates of population parameters for selected species of small mammals

Creator:: Hammond, Ellen L.
Abstract:: I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...

Behavioral responses of Rocky Mountain Elk (Cervus elaphus) to recreational disturbance

Creator:: Naylor, Leslie M.
Abstract:: I measured responses of free-ranging Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus) to recreational disturbance at Starkey Experimental Forest and Range, Oregon from April to October, 2003 and 2004. Resting, feeding, and travel activities of 13 cow elk were recorded at 5-minute intervals using Actiwatch™ motion sensors. Elk were subjected to four...

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...

Ecology of breeding mallards : nest parasitism; brood survival; and habitat utilization

Creator:: Talent, Larry Gene
Abstract:: In 1976 and 1977 I examined three broad problems associated with the recruitment of young mallards, Anas platyrhynchos, in the Prairie Pothole Region of North Dakota. The three problems studied were: the effects of interspecific nest parasitism on production; the chronology and magnitude of total-brood loss during the brood-rearing period;...
