  • Phylogeography and population structure of least terns (Sterna antillarum)

    Creator:
    Draheim, Hope M.
    Abstract:
    Historically, least terns (Sterna antillarum) were one of the most common tern species in North America. However, population declines have resulted from direct and indirect anthropogenic pressures on their breeding and foraging habitat. Three subspecies of least terns have been described within the United States: California least tern (S. a....

  • Factors influencing nest success of greater sandhill cranes at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon

    Creator:
    Ivey, Gary L.
    Abstract:
    I developed a priori hypotheses and used logistic regression to model Greater Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis tabida) nest success in relation to weather, habitat and management variables for cranes breeding at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (MNWR) in southeast Oregon. My primary interest was to investigate the effects of habitat conditions...

  • Northern goshawk breeding habitat selection within high-elevation forests of southwestern Colorado

    Creator:
    Ferland, Cheron L.
    Abstract:
    The northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is a species of concern in the western United States due to its association with mature structural stage forests. I employed a use-versus-availability study design to quantify the vegetative, physiographic, and landscape variables associated with goshawk breeding habitat selection in the San Juan Mountains of...

  • Habitat parameters associated with the distribution of seven willow species on a stream in southeastern Oregon

    Creator:
    Gilbert, Griffith J.
    Abstract:
    Thirteen different habitat parameters were measured either quantitatively or qualitatively around seven different Salix (willow) species on a defined reach of stream on the southwestern slope of Steens Mountain in southeastern Oregon in order to both broaden the current information base of riparian ecology and inform future willow plantings aimed...

  • Riparian litter inputs to streams in the central Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Hart, Stephanie K.
    Abstract:
    Riparian zone vegetation can influence terrestrial and aquatic food webs through variations in the amounts, timing, and nutritional content of leaf and other litter inputs. Differences in vegetation composition and density, as well as riparian topography, may modulate the strength and quality of these inputs. Changes in inputs to small...

  • Development and characterization of new formaldehyde-free soy flour-based adhesives for making interior plywood

    Creator:
    Huang, Jian
    Abstract:
    Formaldehyde-based adhesives such as urea-formaldehyde (UF) and phenol-formaldehyde (PF) adhesives dominate the current wood adhesive market. However, these adhesives are derived from petrochemicals and carcinogenic formaldehyde. In this study, we developed two formaldehyde-free adhesives based on abundant, renewable, and inexpensive soy flour (SF). The first adhesive was mainly composed of...

  • Tree species-soils relationships in old-growth forests of the Oregon Coast Range

    Creator:
    Cross, Alison
    Abstract:
    Tree species directly and indirectly affect soil nutrient cycles. I sought to characterize soils and foliage associated with four common canopy tree species (Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western redcedar, and bigleaf maple) in mixed-species old-growth forests of the Oregon Coast Range and to determine whether and how soils differ among the...

  • 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...
