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...

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...

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) Survival, Home Range Size, and Rest Site Use in Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Somers, Lindsay N.
Abstract:: The ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) is a small, nocturnal, meso-carnivore that occupies mid-elevation forests in the southwest portion of Oregon. Ringtail are fully protected within Oregon, but a species of conservation concern as they may be vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation. Limited data exists regarding ringtail ecology in forested ecosystems,...

Habitat use and movement behavior of Pacific marten (Martes caurina) in response to forest management practices in Lassen National Forest, California

Creator:: Moriarty, Katie M.
Abstract:: Some of the most pressing conservation concerns involve declining populations of species with low fecundity and highly specialized foraging and reproductive requirements. Yet, we often lack a functional understanding of how individuals of those species interact with their environment, specifically how their movement is affected by human-induced changes. In order...

Large Downed Wood as Post-fire Refugia for Terrestrial Salamanders in Pacific Northwest Forests

Creator:: Stephens, Paige N.
Abstract:: Climate change, wildfire, timber harvest, and land conversion alter the availability of downed wood in forests of the western United States. Numerous taxa rely on downed wood for temperature and humidity refugia, and downed wood may play a key role in enabling the persistence of climate-sensitive, low-vagility species like terrestrial...

Distribution, habitat associations, and conservation status of Pacific fisher (Pekania pennanti) in Oregon.

Creator:: Barry, Brent R.
Abstract:: Fishers (Pekania pennanti) are medium sized mustelids endemic to North America. Two fisher populations persist in Oregon: an indigenous population in southwestern Oregon, and a reintroduced population in the southern Cascade Mountains. Despite candidacy for listing under the Endangered Species Act, current information on fisher populations in Oregon is scarce....

Passive acoustic monitoring of owls: two studies in forested landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Duchac, Leila S.
Abstract:: Nearly all birds communicate through sound, and there has been much study of avian populations and communities using song and other vocalizations. Owls are no exception as they defend territories, advertise for mates, and defend against threats using various vocalizations. However, due to their generally nocturnal habits, some owl species...

Habitat characteristics associated with abundance of band-tailed pigeons and use of mineral sites in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Overton, Cory T.
Abstract:: Index counts for the Pacific Coast race of the band-tailed pigeon (Columba fasciata monilis) have declined by -2% per year since survey efforts began in the 1950's and 60's. Mineral sites, important resources with high ion concentrations, are regularly visited by band-tailed pigeons which nest in surrounding forest lands. I...

Biodiversity in managed forests of western Oregon : species assemblages in leave islands, thinned, and unthinned forests

Creator:: Wessell, Stephanie J.
Abstract:: Both leave islands, or green tree retention clusters, and thinning prescriptions have been proposed as alternative silvicultural strategies designed to sustain the structural and biological diversity of managed forests. However, the relationship of the physical structure of leave islands and thinned forests to their associated microclimates, flora, and fauna remain...
