Factors influencing diet composition of beef cattle grazing mixed conifer mountain riparian areas

Creator:: Darambazar, Enkhjargal
Abstract:: Two trials were conducted to evaluate changes in the quantity, quality, and moisture of available forage in the pasture, and shrub utilization by cattle during a 30-d late summer grazing period (Trial 1) and the effect of cow age (experience) on grazing distribution and diet composition (Trial 2) in mountain...

Influence of previous cattle and elk grazing on the subsequent diet quality and nutrient intake rate of cattle, deer, and elk grazing late-summer mixed-conifer rangelands

Creator:: Damiran, Daalkhaijav
Abstract:: Four studies were conducted on late-summer diet quality and quantity of cattle (Bos taurus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), and elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to prior grazing by cattle and elk on mixed-conifer rangelands and on related research techniques. In our first study we assessed a photographic technique to...

Nongenomic action of progesterone inhibits oxytocin signaling through the ovine oxytocin receptor

Creator:: Bishop, Cecily V.
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to characterize the nongenomic effects of progesterone (P4) on binding of oxytocin (OT) to the ovine oxytocin receptor (OTR) and signal transduction. The dose-response relationship of P4 to OT binding to the OTR in endometrium was examined. Progesterone interfered with the binding of OT to the OTR...

Habitat use by snag-associated species : a bibliography for species occurring in Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Weikel, Jennifer M., Hayes, John P. (John Parker), and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Fifty-seven species of wildlife rely on or frequently use snags for breeding, roosting, or denning in Oregon and Washington. Several publications offer information on use of snags by wildlife, influence of management activities on snags and snag users, and approaches to managing snags to benefit wildlife. Because of the diverse...

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...

Population demography, resource use, and movement in cooperatively breeding Micronesian Kingfishers

Creator:: Kesler, Dylan C.
Abstract:: Island systems and species are susceptible to extinction because of their small population size and an ecological naiveté from an evolutionary past lacking strong competition and predation. For example, only one-fifth of the world’s bird species occur on islands, yet more than 90% of the avian extinctions witnessed during historic...

Defining habitat preferences of pelagic loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the North Atlantic through analysis of behavior and bycatch

Creator:: McCarthy, Abigail L.
Abstract:: For many species of marine turtle the characteristics that define pelagic habitat have yet to be fully identified. A better understanding of these habitat characteristics is critical to reduce high seas fisheries interactions with turtles, especially as the status of many turtle populations has placed them on the threatened or...

Evolution of a pheromone signaling system in the salamander genus Plethodon (Amphibia: Plethodontidae)

Creator:: Picard, Amy L.
Abstract:: Animal signaling systems frequently utilize multiple traits to produce and transmit a signal. These system elements may span multiple levels of organization. Functional integration of these traits may be expected to generate concordance in evolutionary pattern among system elements, such that evolutionary change in one system component is correlated with...

Biotic barriers to colonizing new hosts by the cinnabar moth Tyria jacobaeae (L.)(Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)

Creator:: Karacetin, Evrim
Abstract:: The cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae (L.), Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) is an icon in population ecology and biological control that has recently lost its shine based on evidence that (1) it is less effective than alternatives (such as the ragwort flea beetle Longitarsus jacobaeae (Waterhouse) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) for controlling ragwort Senecio jacobaea...
