Turbine Induced Bird and Bat Fatalities at Wind Projects : Statistical Methods for Mortality Estimation Using Road and Pad Carcass Surveys

Creator:: Maurer, Joseph D.
Abstract:: Turbines at wind projects pose a threat to birds and bats flying at altitudes within the rotor swept area. These animals die from colliding with the turbine blades. Estimating mortality, or the total number of bird or bat fatalities at a wind project, is critical to understanding environmental impacts of...

Distribution of bats in Southeast Alaska and selection of day-roosts in trees by Keen’s myotis on Prince of Wales Island, Southeast Alaska

Creator:: Boland, Julia L.
Abstract:: We conducted capture and acoustic surveys for bats in six areas along a latitudinal gradient in Southeast Alaska from mid-May to September in 2005 and we continued surveys on Prince of Wales Island from mid-May to September in 2006. We determined the level of effort required to catch each species...

Decomposition and nitrogen dynamics of red alder and Douglas-fir leaf litter in Oregon Coast Range riparian forests

Creator:: Matkins, Joselin
Abstract:: I examined factors regulating decomposition rates of red alder (Alnus rubra)) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) leaf litter in Coast Range riparian areas in western Oregon. Overall, this study was designed to examine the influence that leaf litter quality characteristics and decomposition site treatment have on decomposition rates, to provide a...

The effects of thinning on forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon

Creator:: Larson, David J.
Abstract:: Thinning of young Douglas-fir forests has the potential to enhance structural diversity and improve habitat for wildlife. I examined the effects of thinning and thinning intensity on abundance and demographic characteristics of forest-floor small mammals in the Coast Range of Oregon 5 and 6 years after thinning had occurred. Thinning...

Incubation patterns, parental roles, and nest survival of black oystercatchers (Haematopus bachmani) : influences of environmental processes and potential disturbance stimuli

Creator:: Spiegel, Caleb S.
Abstract:: Shorebirds display great variation in mating systems and breed in dynamic environments that are increasingly subject to human threats worldwide. In order to adequately assess productivity and demography of shorebird populations, it is important to understand factors that influence patterns of parental care and reproductive success. The Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus...

Estimating wind-turbine-caused bird and bat fatality when zero carcasses are observed

Creator:: Huso, Manuela M. P., Dalthorp, Dan, Dail, David, and Madsen, Lisa
Abstract:: Many wind-power facilities in the United States have established effective monitoring programs to determine turbine-caused fatality rates of birds and bats, but estimating the number of fatalities of rare species poses special difficulties. The loss of even small numbers of individuals may adversely affect fragile populations, but typically, few (if...

Habitat selection by juvenile Swainson’s thrushes (Catharus ustulatus) in headwater riparian areas, Northwestern Oregon, USA

Creator:: Jenkins, Stephanie R., Betts, Matthew G., Huso, Manuela M., and Hagar, Joan C.
Abstract:: Lower order, non-fish-bearing streams, often termed ‘‘headwater streams’’, have received minimal research effort and protection priority, especially in mesic forests where distinction between riparian and upland vegetation can be subtle. Though it is generally thought that breeding bird abundance is higher in riparian zones, little is known about species distributions...

Influence of red alder competition on cambial phenology and latewood formation in Douglas-fir

Creator:: Grotta, A. T., Gartner, Barbara L., Radosevich, S. R., and Huso, M.
Abstract:: To better understand the influence of competition on wood formation and wood quality in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco), patterns of cambial growth and latewood production were examined for one growing season in 15-year-old plantations with similar densities but differing Douglas-fir/red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) ratios. The treatments consisted of...

Factors Affecting Incubation Patterns and Sex Roles of Black Oystercatchers in Alaska

Creator:: Spiegel, Caleb S., Haig, Susan M., Goldstein, Michael I., and Huso, Manuela
Abstract:: Studies examining the effects of human disturbance on avian parental behavior and reproductive success are fundamental to bird conservation. However, many such studies fail to also consider the influence of natural threats, a variable environment, and parental roles. Our work examines interactive relationships of cyclical (time of day, tide, temperature,...

Regeneration and growth of several canopy tree species in the Maya Forest of Quintana Roo, Mexico : the role of competition and microhabitat conditions

Creator:: Sorensen, NaDene S.
Abstract:: We evaluated the regeneration behavior and early growth rates of 10 non-pioneer canopy tree species in medium-height, semi-evergreen dry tropical forest in Quintana Roo, Mexico. These species provide timber and non-timber forest products for local communities and include evergreen and deciduous species with varied dispersal mechanisms. The species were Coccoloba...
