Applications of radiotelemetry to studies of California quail in western Oregon

Creator:: Kilbride, Kevin M.
Abstract:: A partially automated radio-tracking system with semi-continuous azimuth data collection and XYLOG5 and MAP computer programs for azimuth data analysis was used for studies of California quail (Callipepla californica) at the E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon, in 1988 and 1989. Movements of 58 hens were monitored daily to determine nest...

Improving Projections of Tidal Marsh Persistence under Climate Change with Remote Sensing and Site-Specific Data

Creator:: Buffington, Kevin J.
Abstract:: Tidal marshes are dynamic ecosystems that are threatened by climate change and sea-level rise. To characterize baseline condition and historic climate sensitivities, and improve projections into the future, new methods are required that integrate data from the field and remote sensing platforms. Marsh elevation response models can be calibrated with...

Human-eagle interactions on the lower Columbia River

Creator:: McGarigal, Kevin
Abstract:: During the past decade (1978-87), breeding success and productivity of bald eagles on the lower Columbia River (LCR) has been far below state and regional averages and well below levels required for delisting under the Endangered Species Act by the Pacific States Bald Eagle Recovery Plan. Human disturbance was suspected...

Foraging ecology of California quail and response of key foods to habitat manipulations in western Oregon

Creator:: Blakely, Kevin L.
Abstract:: Seasonal diet and food selection of California quail (Callipepla californica) were studied at E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon, during 1985 to 1987. Analysis of diets of 105 quail, along with information from 117 quail taken during 1976 to 1978 revealed 14 key plant foods. Collectively, the key foods composed 87%...

The effects of natural fire and recreational disturbance on montane forest ecosystem composition, structure and nitrogen dynamics, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Creator:: Wilson, John K. (John Kevin)
Abstract:: Disturbance, whether natural or of human origin, modifies to varying degrees many ecosystem attributes. Fire is a natural process in the montane forests of southern Oregon but for much of the 20th century fire was viewed as an apocalypse and thus fervently suppressed. Effective natural resource management requires an understanding...

Extensive Resource Subsidies by Salmon-Supported Bears to Granivores

Creator:: Shakeri, Yasaman N.
Abstract:: In salmon-rich, northern coastal environments brown bears can occur at high densities and exert wide-ranging effects on ecosystem processes. Bear consumption of seasonally available fruit may provide important seed dispersal services to plants, and by extension, influence the ecology of seed consumers such as small mammals. In this study, we...

Satellite monitored dive characteristics of the northern right whale, Eubalaena glacialis

Creator:: Nieukirk, Sharon L.
Abstract:: The western North Atlantic population of the northern right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) was severely depleted by whaling over the last century. Despite over fifty years of protection, fewer than four hundred individuals are believed to exist in the North Atlantic. Relatively little is known about the diving behavior, respiratory physiology,...

Thermal Ecology and Population Dynamics of Female Greater Sage-Grouse Following Wildfire in the Trout Creek Mountains of Oregon and Nevada

Creator:: Anthony, Christopher R.
Abstract:: The greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter, sage-grouse) is a ground nesting gallinaceous bird that requires large contiguous patches of sagebrush. Sage-grouse populations have declined, especially in the Great Basin where changes in wildfire regimes and the invasion of annual grasses have contributed to habitat loss and fragmentation. During the last...

A Comparative Study of Foraging Behavior and Disturbance Regimes in Urban Versus Agricultural Habitats used by Cackling Geese Wintering in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Harrington, Erin R.
Abstract:: The Cackling goose (Branta hutchinsii minima) population has increased from a low of 20,000 in 1984 to the current population of 220,000-300,000 (Stehn 2012, Sanders 2013). As the Cackling goose population began to recover in the late 1990s, the majority of the population relocated from wintering in California to the...

Foraging ecology and reproductive energetics of the Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) in Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Hatch, Nick R.
Abstract:: The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) is a species of conservation concern over the entirety of its known range, which spans coastal Alaska and northeastern Russia. Concerns about the status of the species have been raised due to evidence of population declines in key breeding areas, low reproductive output, and perceived...
