Estimation of Population Age Structure, Detection Probability, and Density of Red Tree Voles in Oregon

Creator:: Marks-Fife, Chad A.
Abstract:: Red tree voles (Arborimus longicaudus) are a unique species of Arvicoline rodent found in western Oregon and northwest California. Their preferred habitat is mature and old-growth coniferous forest dominated by Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Tree voles are an important prey item for northern spotted owls and many other predators, but are...

Factors Affecting Histologic Tumor Free Margins in Widely Excised Feline Injection Site Sarcomas

Creator:: Terry, Jesse L.
Abstract:: Feline injection site sarcomas (FISS) are frequently encountered cutaneous and subcutaneous neoplasms of cats. Significant patient morbidity is related to the invasiveness these tumors display, typically requiring extensive local excision or amputation. As with many veterinary tumors, survival time and tumor recurrence for FISS is highly influenced by histologic margin...

Kinematic analysis of male olympic cross-country skiers using the open field skating technique

Creator:: Heagy, Brian S.
Abstract:: The kinematic characteristics of 17 elite male cross-country skiers competing in the 50 km race of the 1992 Winter Olympic Games were determined. Each skier used the open field skating technique, one of four skating techniques used in free technique cross-country ski races. Skiers were filmed by the use of...

Effects of prostaglandin F2alpha on neutrophil populations, uterine health and reproductive performance in dairy cows, Effects of prostaglandin F₂α on neutrophil populations, uterine health and reproductive performance in dairy cows

Creator:: Lulay, Adrienne McCracken
Abstract:: Incidences of uterine infections in dairy cattle are high between parturition and Day 21 postpartum. Dairy cows with uterine infections are at risk for prolonged periods of days open and multiple services before becoming pregnant. Neutrophils are the first wave of immune system defense against uterine contamination. Neutrophil function seems...

Giant gartersnake spatial ecology in agricultural and constructed wetlands

Creator:: Valcarcel, Patricia M.
Abstract:: The spatial ecology of a species is a vital component of informed management and restoration plans, yet little is known about how animals use restored or constructed habitat. We assessed home ranges, core areas, and habitat selection of the federally threatened Giant Gartersnake (Thamnophis gigas) using rice agricultural habitat and...

Development of a problem-based learning classification rubric for community college instruction

Creator:: Knelly, Leah J.
Abstract:: Problem-based learning (PBL) is one type of inquiry-based learning. Many community college instructors use inquiry-based learning as an instructional strategy. There is much literature on the use of problem-based learning in undergraduate, graduate and medical school education, with a multitude of examples of specific techniques and problems to be addressed,...

The effects of predation on anuran metamorphosis

Creator:: DeVito, Jill
Abstract:: Many organisms with complex life cycles undergo transition periods associated with increased vulnerability to predation. Several evolutionary adaptations have been proposed as antipredator defenses for organisms during risky transition periods. These include: shortening of the transition period, parental care, cryptic coloration, and synchrony of risky transitions with large numbers of...

Porcine zona pellucida immunocontraceptive vaccine for horses

Creator:: Bartell, Jennifer Ann
Abstract:: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) maintains a growing number of feral horses on public rangelands. With population growth rates as high as 22% annually, herds are exceeding their carrying capacity and millions of dollars are spent maintaining captured horses in holding facilities awaiting adoption. To manage the feral horse...

Ecological relationships between Columbian white-tailed and black-tailed deer in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Whitney, Lowell W.
Abstract:: I examined ecological relationships and mechanisms of coexistence for sympatric populations of Columbian white-tailed (Odocoileus virginianus leucurus) and black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) in Douglas County, Oregon, from September 1997 to August 1998. Horseback transects were used to describe spatial distributions, population overlap, and habitat use for both species. Behavioral...

Investigation of Deep Seismic Reflections Beneath the Forearc in the South Central Chile Subduction Zone

Creator:: Zhang, Edward
Abstract:: The south central Chilean margin is one of the most seismically active subduction zones on Earth, generating some of the largest earthquakes on the planet, including the largest ever recorded in 1960 near Valdivia, Chile (Mw 9.5). Using the 15 km streamer and 6600 in3 tuned seismic airgun array aboard...
