The influence of contemporary forest management on stream nutrient concentrations in an industrialized forest in the Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Meininger, William Scott
Abstract:: The increased demand for wood and fiber from a continually shrinking land base has resulted in the use of intensively managed forest plantations. The concentration of timber production on the most suitable sites allows the world's demand for forest products to be met on less land and enable native forests...

Life history, population dynamics, and management of signal crayfish in Lake Billy Chinook, Oregon

Creator:: Lewis, Scott D.
Abstract:: Signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus were studied in Lake Billy Chinook, Oregon, during 1994 and 1995. Because little was known about the crayfish population, this study was conducted to obtain reliable estimates of life history and population parameters, document historic commercial harvests, and make management recommendations. Crayfish were captured with baited...

Dispersal of juvenile northern spotted owls in western Oregon

Creator:: Miller, Gary Scott
Abstract:: Dispersal of juvenile northern spotted owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) was studied in western Oregon from 1982-1985. The study was initiated to document the pattern of juvenile spotted owl dispersal, survival, habitat use, and possible effects of forest fragmentation on the dispersing juveniles in the Pacific Northwest Douglas-fir Region. Forty-eight juveniles...

Sediment transport modeling and implications for benthic primary producers in Oak Creek, OR

Creator:: Katz, Scott B.
Abstract:: The spatial and temporal variability of sediment transport processes in Oak Creek, OR was investigated and used to explore two study questions: 1) How do sediment transport processes influence benthic algal communities?, and 2) Can fluvial-hydraulic models make accurate predictions of bed load transport rates? Our study was conducted in...

Relationships among in-stream physical habitat, land use, and geology in small coastal streams of northern Oregon

Creator:: Scott, Larissa E.
Abstract:: Salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest are at historic lows and many populations continue to decline. Previous studies have linked salmonid declines to land use through degradation of in-stream physical habitat, but few of these studies have taken geology into consideration. This study relates habitat parameters known to be important...

Gene flow and the relationship of Plethodon stormi and P. elongatus assessed with 11 novel microsatellite loci

Creator:: DeGross, Douglas James
Abstract:: Plethodontid salamanders are model organisms for studying evolutionary questions of gene flow, restricted ranges, and speciation. Plethodon, a diverse genus within Plethodontidae, is widely distributed in eastern and western North America. Much research has been based in the eastern United States where diversity of these salamanders is high. Because of...

Jerking behavior among phytoseiid mite species (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

Creator:: Blackwood, J. Scott
Abstract:: Jerking, which we defined as a pronounced and often repeated lunging of the entire body, was studied in larvae among seven species of phytoseiid mites, and in the nymphal stages of Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman). This behavior was observed in all active immature stages of N. fallacis, and in larvae of...

Direct effects and tradeoffs affect vegetative growth and sexual reproduction in an invasive seagrass experiencing different disturbance regimes

Creator:: Henderson, Jeremy Scott
Abstract:: Disturbance has both direct and indirect ramifications that can influence species abundance, distribution, and ultimately the diversity found within a community. As a result, we might expect disturbance to play a particularly important role in the ability of non-native species to proliferate outside of their native range. In practice, disturbance...

Rapid hardware implementations of classical modular multiplication

Creator:: Johnson, Scott Andrew
Abstract:: Modular multiplication is a mathematical operation fundamental to the RSA cryptosystern, a public-key cryptosystem with many applications in privacy, security, and authenticity. However, cryptosecurity requires that the numbers involved be extremely large, typically ranging from 512-1024 bits in length. Calculations on numbers of this magnitude are cumbersome and lengthy; this...
