Diet and nutrition of female sage grouse during the pre-laying period

Creator:: Barnett, Jenny K.
Abstract:: Nutrition effects productivity of grouse. Females that obtain high nutrient diets in spring produce larger clutches and larger, more viable chicks than hens on less nutritious diets. Grouse select high nutrient foods to help ensure proper nutrition. Reduced productivity accounted for the decline of sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations in...

Characteristics of forests at spotted owl nest sites in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Hershey, Kit
Abstract:: This study describes the composition and structure of forests within the immediate vicinity of Northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) nest sites in the Klamath, Coast, and Cascade provinces of western Oregon and the Olympic province, Washington. I compared forest stand data collected at 105 nest sites with data from...

Habitat associations of woodpeckers at multiple scales in managed forests of the Southern Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Brett, Tiffany A.
Abstract:: I studied nest-site characteristics and habitat relationships for three species ofprimary cavity-nesting birds--hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus), northern flicker (Colaptes auratus), and red-breasted sapsucker (Sphyrapicus ruber)-- over spatially heterogeneous landscapes in managed forests of the Southern Oregon Cascades during 1995 and 1996. The study was conducted on the Diamond Lake Ranger...

Effects of o,p'-DDE on the immune system of juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Milston, Ruth Helen
Abstract:: Environmental factors such as chemical contamination can have immunomodulatory effects on the immune response of fish and may be contributing to the decline in salmonid populations by augmenting disease susceptibility. Xenobiotics can interfere with the immune system at several levels of complexity, and different immune cells and processes have variable...

Aquatic food web responses to patchy shading along forested headwater streams

Creator:: Heaston, Emily
Abstract:: In small forested streams, changes in age and structure of riparian vegetation covering the stream have been shown to directly influence the amount of light reaching the stream benthos. Light has the potential to impact in-stream resources that support secondary production through constraints on primary productivity. The influence of landscape...

Climbers' preferred management actions : addressing resource and crowding impacts in Yosemite Valley

Creator:: Burns, Molly T.
Abstract:: As more people become interested in rock climbing, the need to understand climbers and their preferences and how their activities impact the resource are more vital than ever. With increased use, and with little empirical data about the Yosemite climbing community, park managers cannot adequately develop a comprehensive climbing management...

Control and biology of feral goats on Aldabra Atoll, Republic of Seychelles

Creator:: Rainbolt, Raymond E.
Abstract:: The control of feral goats (Capra hircus) and relevant aspects of their biology were studied on Aldabra Atoll, Republic of Seychelles, from October 1993 - May 1994 and November 1994 - May 1995. A total of 832 goats were killed on Aldabra using both the Judas goat technique and traditional...

Landscape composition around northern spotted owl nests, central Cascade Mountains, Oregon

Creator:: Swindle, Keith A.
Abstract:: This study describes the composition of forest landscapes surrounding northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) nests in the central Cascade Mountains of Oregon. I compared forest composition around 126 owl nests in 70 pair territories with forest composition around 119 points drawn randomly from all terrestrial cover-types, and around 104...

Voluntary environmental programs at an alpine ski area: influence of recreationists' knowledge, motivations, attachment, value orientations, and specialization

Creator:: Little, Christopher M.
Abstract:: Voluntary environmental programs (VEPs) have been created to encourage companies to engage in behaviors that mitigate environmental impacts (e.g., recycling, emissions reduction). Many ski areas participate in the Sustainable Slopes Program, an initiative that promotes VEPs in the ski area industry. Past research has addressed the performance of VEPs in...
