  • Status and habitat use of Columbian white-tailed deer in Douglas County, Oregon

    Creator:
    Smith, Winston Paul
    Abstract:
    A study conducted May 1978-December 1980 determined that the present geographic range of Columbian white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus leucurus, (CWTD) in Douglas County, Oregon encompassed 1199km2. The area was predominately a Quercus woodland community, typical of the Interior Valley Zone of western Oregon. The CWTD distribution was not contiguous throughout...

  • Ecology of feral pigs on Santa Catalina Island

    Creator:
    Baber, Daniel W.
    Abstract:
    A feral pig population on Santa Catalina Island, California, was studied for 17 months beginning in July 1980. Density was estimated to be 21 to 34 pigs/km² (95% confidence interval) using capture-recapture techniques. Dry season home ranges determined from radio-telemetry data were small and differed significantly between boars and sows....

  • Advantages of habitat selection and sexual segregation in mule and white-tailed deer

    Creator:
    Main, Martin Benjamin
    Abstract:
    I studied sexual segregation in mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and white-tailed deer (Q. virginianus) in different environments and at different population densities to test the hypothesis that sexual segregation occurs in ungulates as the result of different reproductive strategies; females select habitat and behave in manners primarily designed to promote...

  • The asymmetric binding of Actinomycin D to DNA hexamers

    Creator:
    Ivancic, Monika
    Abstract:
    The solution structure determination of DNA molecules has been an important part of structural biology. NMR solution structures are a complement to structures solved via X-ray crystallography; the two methods are the only ways of obtaining three dimensional coordinates of macromolecules. Because of the nature of the molecule, the solution...

  • Phylogeny and zoogeography of glyptocephalines (Pisces: Pleuronectidae)

    Creator:
    Chiu, Tai-sheng
    Abstract:
    Hypotheses of phylogenetic and historical zoogeographic relationships of glyptocephalines (Glyptocephalus cynoglossus, G. zachirus, G. stelleri, Microstomus kitt, H. pacificus, H. achne, Embassichthys bathybius, and Tanakius kitaharae) were constructed based on comparative anatomy and external morphology. The phylogenetic approach was cladistic and character polarity was determined by using out-group comparison. One...

  • Population ecology of the Columbian white-tailed deer

    Creator:
    Gavin, Thomas Alan
    Abstract:
    A population of Columbian white-tailed deer (CWTD) was studied on a refuge (790 ha) in southwestern Washington during 1972-77. Quality of habitat was considered good for these deer and total population size remained between 164-230 as determined by mark-recapture methods during November. Population size declined significantly between the winters of...

  • Palmitylation of vaccinia virus proteins : identification of modification sites and biological relevance

    Creator:
    Grosenbach, Douglas W.
    Abstract:
    Vaccinia virus encodes at least eight proteins that are modified post-translationally by the addition of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid through thioester linkage to cysteine residues. This is referred to as palmitylation of proteins. The purpose of this work was to gain an understanding of palmitylation, focusing on what defined...

  • Seasonal distribution and environment of adult Pacific herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) near Auke Bay, Lynn Canal, southeastern Alaska

    Creator:
    Carlson, Harry Richard
    Abstract:
    The distribution of adult Pacific herring (Clupea harengue pallasi) near Auke Bay, Lynn Canal, southeastern Alaska, varied by depth and geographic area over 24 successive months during 1973-75. From June through September, schools concentrated at 5- to 37-m depths where zooplankton was abundant, and moderate currents were present in a...

  • Evolutionary history and speciation of the genus Tragopan

    Creator:
    Islam, Kamal
    Abstract:
    A study of the phyletic relationships among five species of tragopans and an outgroup, the Blood Pheasant (Ithaginis cruentus), was conducted from 1987 to 1991. Biochemical, behavioral, and external morphologic characteristics were compared. A cladistic approach was used to compare the behavioral, biochemical, and external morphologic data collectively, as different...
