Evaluating the fatty acid signature technique for studies of diet composition inpiscivorous waterbirds

Creator:: Myers, Anne Mary
Abstract:: This research was designed to evaluate the Fatty Acid Signature (FAS) technique as a non-lethal alternative to more traditional, and sometimes destructive, methods of studying the diet composition of piscivorous birds. Specifically we tested the technique with Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) which currently nest in large numbers in the Columbia...

Evaluating design and verifying compliance of wetlands created under section 404 of the Clean Water Act in Oregon

Creator:: Gwin, Stephanie E. and Kentula, Mary E.
Abstract:: Permit specifications, construction plans, and field measurements were used to examine the correlation between design and conditions "as-built" in a population of 11 palustrine emergent marshes created in the metropolitan area of Portland, Oregon, between 1980-1986. The projects ranged from six months to almost seven years in age. Data on...

Giant otters (Pteronura brasiliensis) and humans in the lower Yasuní Basin, Ecuador : spacio-temporal activity patterns and their relevance for conservation

Creator:: Carrera-Ubidia, Paola M.
Abstract:: Giant otters (Pteronura brasiliensis) and humans in the Lower Yasuní Basin (Ecuador) have similar food and space requirements: they consume comparable arrays of fish species, and they use similar aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Resource partitioning could facilitate coexistence by allowing each species exclusive access to some resources. My research examines...

Initiating health and nutrition programs in rural Oregon using community based participatory research

Creator:: McCulley, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The purpose of this project was to explore health and nutrition concerns and priorities of parents and caregivers of children enrolled in Kids and Company (KidCo) Head Start using Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR). The project examined the feasibility of conducting CBPR with Head Start in the relatively short timeframe...

Mapping vegetation density and water inundation in a recovering wetland : the Mesopotamian Marshlands

Creator:: Bosley, Jon Michael
Abstract:: Once considered the largest wetland in Central Asia, the Mesopotamian Marshlands of Southeastern Iraq have nearly disappeared. Various hydrological projects by the Iraqi government and dam construction in the region have nearly destroyed these once rich freshwater wetlands by over 90%. With the launching of Operation Iraqi Freedom recent attempts...

Supplemental feeding influences reproductive success of the Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis) at Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawai'i

Creator:: Tamayose, Joy
Abstract:: Low reproductive success has been typical of high elevation populations of the Hawaiian goose (Branta sandvicensis) or nēnē. Researchers identified predation and inadequate nutrition as limiting factors. Reproductive success remained low in most years despite on-going predator control programs. I used a supplemental feeding program over two breeding seasons in...

Influence of cover crops on vine performance at two Willamette Valley vineyards

Creator:: Sweet, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: It is estimated that 50-75% of Oregon vineyards cultivate at least every other alley in order to 1) reduce water stress 2) increase vineyard canopy temperatures and 3) increase nutrient availability. Because many vineyards are situated on steep hillsides, frequent tillage could result in increased soil erosion, decreased soil quality...

Food habits, dietary overlap and gastric evacuation rates of rockfishes (genus Sebastes)

Creator:: Brodeur, Richard D.
Abstract:: Euphausiids constituted the major food of five co-occuring species of rockfishes (Sebastes spp.). Copepods, decapods, cephalopods, amphipods, fishes and other pelagic prey were also consumed but were less important to the overall diet. Two species, S. flavidus and S. diploproa, were relatively euryphagous, utilizing a high number of prey taxa....

Testing the correlation between inundation period and coastal wetland productivity in Carex lyngbyei and Distichlis spicata communities, South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Oregon

Creator:: Gilman, Eric
Abstract:: I tested the hypothesis that there is a correlation between inundation period and net primary production (NPP) in estuarine salt marshes through an observational experiment at South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Oregon. I estimated primary production and inundation period for selected monotypic plant communities in (1) a naturally restored wetland...

Analysis of needs-based proposal for a workshop on coastal resources management for specialists from Mexico and the US

Creator:: Hobgood, Nick
Abstract:: Building institutional and human capacity for integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) is increasingly recognized as critical to the future of sustainable development in coastal states. Agenda 21 of the UNCED conference has underscored the urgency of capacity building for ICZM as have other international bodies such as the North American...
