Occurrence of beaver (Castor canadensis) in volcanically disturbed lentic habitat

Creator:: Smith, Sierra L.
Abstract:: This study investigates the occurrence of beaver (Castor canadensis) in lentic habitat (lakes and ponds) near Mount St. Helens in Washington, 40 years after the 1980 eruption. At the coarse spatial scale, I surveyed lakes for sign of beaver establishment (lodge or den) across multiple volcanic disturbance zones. At a...

Fall Phenology, Movement, and Roost use of Little Brown Bats (Myotis lucifugus) and California Myotis (Myotis californicus) at Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Hansen, Michael
Abstract:: Little is known about the fall and winter ecology of hibernating bats in western North America. Filling knowledge gaps for these populations has become more urgent with the westward spread of the white-nose syndrome, a disease that infects bats during hibernation. Due to the thermal requirements of the fungal pathogen...

Assessment of mule deer fawn survival and birth site habitat attributes in south-central Oregon

Creator:: Speten, David
Abstract:: Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations in south-central Oregon are near their lowest levels since census efforts began in 1961. I investigated fawn survival, cause-specific mortality, and factors contributing to mortality from 2010 – 2012 to identify potential causes for the decline. I also explored pre-parturition and parturition site characteristics. I...

Resource Selection and Space Use of Western Long-eared Myotis (Myotis evotis) in a Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) Woodland of Central Oregon

Creator:: Anthony, Christopher R.
Abstract:: Identifying habitat and spatial requirements of wildlife species across multiple spatial scales is a challenging, yet crucial component of wildlife management. Habitat use of bats is particularly difficult to study, and managing habitat to conserve bats is especially challenging because bats are highly vagile organisms that exploit several different types...

Evaluating tools used to estimate and manage browse available to wintering moose on the Copper River Delta, Alaska

Creator:: Smythe, Sharon E.
Abstract:: Ungulates comprise some of the most well researched and intensely managed wildlife populations on earth. As such, they are recognized as ideal study subjects for developing and modifying management tools or theories (Danell et al. 1994, Shipley 2010). An introduced moose (Alces alces gigas) population on the Copper River Delta...

Ungulate activity classification : calibrating activity monitor GPS collars for Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, and cattle

Creator:: Gaylord, Adam J.
Abstract:: Ungulate behavior has been studied extensively but direct observation of free-ranging animals over long periods of time and large geographic areas is often prohibitively difficult. Improved technology, such as GPS collars fitted with motion-sensitive activity monitors, provides researchers with a potential tool to remotely collect fine scale activity and location...

Vegetation and Small Mammal Responses to Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) Control in Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Morozumi, Corinne N.
Abstract:: Shrub-steppe ecosystems of western North America provide habitat for many wildlife species, are important components of public and private rangelands, and offer recreational opportunities for millions of people. They are some of the most vulnerable ecosystems in the United States and have been altered by human activities such as livestock...

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...

The Art and Craft of John Williams

Creator:: Lincoln, Danae A.
Abstract:: The intent of this paper is to bring more attention to the mastery involved with film composition as an art form. The research focuses specifically on the life, style, influences, and works of John Williams as a conductor, film composer, and composer. It addresses his biography, filmography, and working relationships,...

A Review and Recommendations for Assessing Floodplain Vegetation Recovery Following Stage 0 and Beaver Dam Analog Restorations in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Colley, Lara K. M.
Abstract:: Floodplains are a significant and increasingly threatened ecosystem. As restoration projects are implemented more frequently in degraded floodplains, novel methods are emerging with a focus on restoring critical processes in which vegetation plays a key role. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1) to develop expectations for vegetation response,...
