Structure, abundance, and distribution of pelagic zooplankton in a deep, oligotrophic Caldera Lake

Creator:: Karnaugh, Elena N.
Abstract:: From July 1985 to April 1987 the pelagic zooplankton community of Crater Lake, Oregon was studied to determine taxonomic structure, absolute and relative densities, and spatial and temporal distributional patterns. Samples were collected using vertically-towed zooplankton nets. The community structure consisted of two cladoceran and nine rotifer species, which were...

The uptake and retention of cesium-134 in Microtus canicaudus Miller

Creator:: Lei, Wayne
Abstract:: A study was performed to assess the uptake and retention patterns of cesium-134 in the gray-tailed vole, Microtus canicaudus Miller. To furnish a realistic source of contaminated food for the voles, wheat seedlings were raised in hydroponic solutions to provide radiocesium labeled wheat clippings. The hydroponic system was designed to...

Some possible roles for selenium in the reproductive physiology of the male graytailed vole (Microtus canicaudus)

Creator:: Whitfield, Stephen Curtiss
Abstract:: The testes of the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus Miller) exhibited a high affinity for selenium relative to other selected tissues. Uptake of selenium-75 in the testis-epididymis complex was delayed relative to uptake by the whole body, kidney, and liver. This pattern of uptake suggested that selenium was metabolically incorporated into...

Benthic macroinvertebrates and sediment characteristics of a coastal dune margin lake (Carter Lake, Douglas County, Oregon)

Creator:: Wones, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Carter Lake, a freshwater, coastal dune-margin lake, was sampled at the beginning and end of the summer of 1986 to determine the sediment characteristics and benthic macroinvertebrate abundance, biomass, variety, and diversity. The distributions of major benthic habitats were estimated by snorkeling in June and July, 1986. Water temperature and...

Ecology of kokanee salmon and rainbow trout in Crater Lake, a deep ultraoligotrophic caldera lake (Oregon)

Creator:: Buktenica, Mark W.
Abstract:: Crater Lake, originally barren of fish, was stocked on an irregular basis from 1888 through 1941 with several species of salmonids. Two species occur in the lake today--kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). This study was initiated in the summer of 1986 to evaluate the ecology of...

Responses to fertilization and fish stocking in the pelagic ecosystem of a naturally fishless lake

Creator:: Cameron, William A.
Abstract:: Ecologists have studied the responses of pelagic ecosystems to varying levels of nutrient loading and fish predation on many different scales ranging from small experimental enclosures to whole lake systems. There are recurring patterns of response to these two variables, which are generally predictable on the basis of biogeographic, behavioral,...

Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. in the sagebrush ecosystem of northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Smergut, Teresa A.
Abstract:: Ranchers and resource managers have become concerned about the role and spread of Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. (whitetop) in the sagebrush steppe of Northeastern Oregon. This area is an important natural resource for livestock production and big game winter range. An area near Keating, Oregon was selected to study the...

Effects of hydrology on zooplankton communities in high mountain ponds, Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Girdner, Scott F.
Abstract:: Ten high mountain ponds in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, were studied from June through September 1992 to investigate the influences of fluctuating pond volumes on zooplankton communities. A temporary pond of short wet phase duration was inhabited by zooplankton taxa with short generation times and a crustacean taxa...

Life-history organization of cutthroat trout in Yellowstone Lake and its management implications

Creator:: Gresswell, Robert E.
Abstract:: Life-history organization of the cutthroat trout (Oncorhvnchus clarki) may be viewed at various levels, including species, subspecies, metapopulation, population, or individual. Each level varies in spatial scale and temporal persistence, and components at each level continually change with changes in environment. Cutthroat trout are widely distributed throughout the western USA,...

Comparative seedling growth of diffuse knapweed and bluebunch wheatgrass under altered moisture and temperature regimes

Creator:: Grammon, Arnold A.
Abstract:: In many areas of the Western U.S., diffuse knapweed (Centaurea diffusa Lam.) has invaded into plant communities dominated by bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudomegnaria spicata [Pursh] A. Love). The objectives of this study were to compare growth response of both species when grown under altered moisture and temperature regimes while in the...
