The feasibility of applying air photo interpretation to the locating, analyzing and development of wind power sites

Creator:: Maule, Peter Anthony
Abstract:: If wind power is to become a viable energy alternative, a rapid and reliable cost effective methodology must be established, whereby large areas can be surveyed for windy sites and those sites can be evaluated. Based primarily on locating wind deformed vegetation, this paper establishes the feasibility of using air...

Environmental contaminants and breeding biology of great blue herons in the Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Thomas, Carmen M.
Abstract:: Great blue heron (Ardea herodias) eggs and prey items were collected from six colonies on the Columbia and Willamette rivers and Puget Sound during 1994-95. Contaminant concentrations, reproductive success, and biomagnification factors (BMFs) were determined and effects of residue levels were measured by H4IIE rat hepatoma and ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD) bioassays....

Post-breeding habitat selection by songbirds in the headwaters of the Trask River, northwestern Oregon

Creator:: Jenkins, Stephanie R.
Abstract:: Little is known on the importance of riparian areas to birds near small headwater streams in mesic forests. Progress towards understanding limiting factors that affect bird populations has been difficult because of lack of information beyond the breeding period. I compared bird assemblages between headwater riparian and upland areas throughout...

Elevational differences in UV-B response by the long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum)

Creator:: Thurman, Lindsey L.
Abstract:: Global amphibian declines have been attributed to numerous and often synergistic causes, such as invasive species, pathogens, and ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. The effects of these stressors are context dependent and can vary with location, species, and populations. As sensitivity to UV-B has shown inconsistencies across amphibian taxa, it can be...

Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) of Oregon and Northern California: seasonal haulout abundance patterns, movements of marked juveniles, and effects of hot-iron branding on apparent survival of pups at Rogue Reef

Creator:: Scordino, Jonathan
Abstract:: The Steller Sea Lion Research Initiative was passed in 2001 to provide funding to help scientists determine causes and solutions for the population crash of Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus). In response to need to understand population dynamics of Steller sea lions, NOAA Fisheries has spearheaded a large-scale, range-wide research...

Demography and habitat selection of northern spotted owls in post-fire landscapes of southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Clark, Darren A.
Abstract:: Several large wildfires in southwestern Oregon during the summers of 2001 and 2002 provided the opportunity to investigate the impacts of wildfire on northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina). I used radio-telemetry and demographic surveys to describe demographic performance and habitat selection of spotted owls in the areas burned by...

Uncovering the mechanism of IL-4-mediated T cell survival

Creator:: Moscibrocki, Cathleen M.
Abstract:: Although IL-4 is a well-characterized multi-functional cytokine, its role as a survival factor in T cells is not completely understood. In an attempt to uncover IL-4-mediated survival, we studied caspase activation in primary mouse T lymphocytes undergoing death by neglect, activation-induced or steroid-induced cell death. Here, we identify the executioner...

Effect of Root and Shoot Manipulation on the Morphology and Physiology of Oregon White Oak (Quercus garryana) Seedlings in the Nursery and Following Outplanting

Creator:: Baumgart, Erin E.
Abstract:: Oregon white oak, or Garry oak (Quercus garryana), has been adversely affected by land-use conversion, landscape fragmentation, and anthropogenic fire suppression. Its historical range has contracted significantly to the point where an estimated 1-5% remains intact. Natural regeneration is difficult due to a lack of seed sources and the physiological...
