The disposition of four therapeutically important antimicrobial agents in llamas

Creator:: Murdande, Sharad B.
Abstract:: The disposition of four therapeutically important antimicrobial agents was studied in llamas following intravenous bolus administration. Six llamas were each given ampicillin, tobramycin, trimethoprim and enrofloxacin at a dose of 12 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg of body weight with a wash out period of 3 days...

Characterization of stream fish assemblages and land use associations within a southern Ohio National Forest

Creator:: LaRue, Michelle L.
Abstract:: Seasonally, in 1998 and 1999, I examined spatial and temporal variation in fish assemblages of agricultural, forested, and acid mine drainage tributaries within the Wayne National Forest (WNF) in southern Ohio. Land use and natural disturbance explained patterns in stream fish assemblages. Creek chub and green sunfish were present in...

Habitat selection, reproductive success, and site fidelity of burrowing owls in a grassland ecosystem

Creator:: Ronan, Noelle A.
Abstract:: I used a comparative and experimental approach to examine nest habitat selection, reproductive success, and nest site fidelity of burrowing owls (Athene cunicularia) in a large, non-fragmented grassland in southwest California. In 1999, I compared habitat characteristics between nest sites (n = 31) and randomly selected, unoccupied burrows (n =...

A simulation tool for evaluating sensory data analysis methods

Creator:: Naini, Shuo
Abstract:: In cross-cultural studies, respondents from specific cultures may have different product preferences and scale usage. Combining data from different cultures will result in departures from the basic assumptions of analysis of variance (ANOVA) and loss of power in testing capability of finding product and culture differences. However, the result of...

Distribution and habitat associations of the northern pygmy-owl in Oregon

Creator:: Sater, Dawn M.
Abstract:: I conducted acoustic lure surveys of northern pygmy-owls (Glaucidium gnoma) on transects that were systematically placed in forested areas throughout the state of Oregon. My objectives were to determine if pygmy-owls were associated with particular forest types, ecoregions, or with large-diameter dominant overstory trees. I also examined temporal variation in...

Susceptibility of juvenile salmonids to avian predation : Are Caspian terns and double-crested cormorants only taking the sick and injured?

Creator:: Hostetter, Nathan J.
Abstract:: The ability to non-destructively assess fish condition and subsequently track fish behavior and survival can be vital in understanding natural and anthropogenic stressors and sources of mortality, especially in populations of fish listed as threatened or endangered. I investigated the use of a quick, non-lethal, external examination technique to assess...

Range-wide abundance and fluctuating asymmetry patterns of sagebrush-obligate passerine birds

Creator:: Krissman, Cortnie M.
Abstract:: North American sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems are suffering from reductions in habitat extent and quality. Only about 50% of sagebrush remains from pre-settlement conditions, and much of the remaining habitat is fragmented or degraded by invasive species, fire suppression and overgrazing. Sagebrush-obligate species are experiencing population declines as a result...

Bird and rodent nesting in excavated cavities in Pinon-juniper woodland, southeastern Colorado

Creator:: Youkey, Donald E.
Abstract:: I studied bird and rodent nesting in woodpecker-excavated cavities in pifion-juniper (Pinus edulis-Juniperus monosperma) (P-J) woodland in southeastern Colorado during the spring and summer of 1987 and 1988. Two related investigations were conducted: one described characteristics of habitat used by birds and rodents nesting in woodpecker-excavated cavities and the other...

Changes in size and age at maturity of Columbia River upriver bright fall chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) : implications for stock fitness, commercial value, and management

Creator:: Beaty, Roy E.
Abstract:: The average size and age of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) caught in commercial fisheries along the Pacific Coast of North America have decreased substantially in this century. These declines might be caused in part by changes in size and age at maturity within the stocks contributing to those fisheries. Upriver...

The influence of fall-spawning salmon on growth and production of juvenile coho salmon rearing in beaver ponds on the Copper River Delta, Alaska

Creator:: Lang, Dirk W.
Abstract:: This thesis examined the influence of fall-spawning coho salmon on the density, growth rate, body condition, and survival to outmigration of juvenile coho salmon rearing in beaver ponds on the Copper River Delta, Alaska. During the fall of 1999 and 2000 fish rearing in ponds that received spawning salmon were...
