The effects of prescribed burning on small mammal communities in Lava Beds National Monument, California

Creator:: Frenzel, Richard Wilmarth
Abstract:: The effects of prescribed burning on the abundance, species composition, and reproduction of small mammals were studied over a one year period. Two burn areas were studied, one in sagebrush/ bunchgrass and one in cheatgrass. The short-term effects were studied using monthly mark-recapture trapping on two treatment and two control...

Vegetation response to prescribed fire in mountain big sagebrush ecosystems at Lava Beds National Monument, California

Creator:: Ellsworth, Lisa M.
Abstract:: Anthropogenic land use alterations such as livestock grazing and fire suppression have greatly altered sagebrush grasslands of the Great Basin, facilitating invasion of exotic annuals, increases in woody species, and losses of native species. Much of the current research surrounding wildland and prescribed fire in sagebrush dominated ecosystems has focused...

Response of brood-rearing habitat of sage grouse to prescribed burning in Oregon

Creator:: Pyle, William H. (William Hanson), 1957-
Abstract:: Decline of western sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus phaios) in Oregon may be related to the reduced availability of foods in upland sagebrush (Artemisia)-grasslands used for brood-rearing. The goal of this study was to determine primary foods of chicks and the short-term response of brood-rearing habitat to prescribed burning at Hart...

The effect of broadcast burning on the quality of winter forage for elk, westen Oregon

Creator:: Friesen, Cheryl Ann
Abstract:: The Roosevelt elk (Cervus elephus roosevelti) is a National Forest management indicator species on the westside of the Cascade mountains, Western Oregon. A Habitat Effectiveness model is used by State and Federal agencies to evaluate elk habitat in the region. Concerns about the model's lack of differentiation between winter and...

Small mammal responses to silvicultural fuels treatments in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Manning, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Despite the belief that fuels management, a form of prescribed fire that reduces accumulated fuels in commercially thinned forests, is necessary to restore forest 'health' in the Pacific Northwest, its effects on wildlife has received little attention in the scientific literature. Because fuels management is supported, funded, and implemented nationwide...

Avian communities in relation to habitat influenced by fire in a sagebrush steppe landscape

Creator:: Noson, Anna C.
Abstract:: Fire suppression in high-elevation sagebrush steppe over the last century has profoundly influenced the structure and complexity of vegetation communities. Although fire is the primary management tool used to restore these areas, the impact of this management practice on associated avian communities is poorly understood. We examined patterns of habitat...

Humpback Whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) Calling Behavior In Southeast Alaska : A Study In Acoustic Ecology And Noise

Creator:: Fournet, Michelle E. H.
Abstract:: Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a widely distributed baleen whale species, well known for their diverse acoustic behavior. On high-latitude foraging grounds, humpback whales produce a suite of non-song vocalizations (“calls”) in concert with foraging and social behavior. In this dissertation I investigated the role of calls in the acoustic...

Habitat use by female greater sage grouse in relation to fire at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, Oregon

Creator:: Byrne, Michael W.
Abstract:: The United States Fish and Wildlife Service currently uses fire as a management tool to improve Greater Sage Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus Bonaparte) nesting and brood-rearing habitat at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge (HMNAR) in S.E. Oregon. Previous studies at HMNAR revealed use of burned areas by sage grouse throughout the...

The use of burned forest by breeding birds following the Biscuit Fire in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Donaghy Cannon, Michelle M.
Abstract:: Fire severity is hypothesized as an important driver of bird responses to wildfire. For those species that typically respond negatively to increasing severity, Accessibility of high-severity burned forest may be dependent on the proximity of unburned or low-severity burned forest to meet all of the needs of breeding bird species...
