Control and biology of feral goats on Aldabra Atoll, Republic of Seychelles

Creator:: Rainbolt, Raymond E.
Abstract:: The control of feral goats (Capra hircus) and relevant aspects of their biology were studied on Aldabra Atoll, Republic of Seychelles, from October 1993 - May 1994 and November 1994 - May 1995. A total of 832 goats were killed on Aldabra using both the Judas goat technique and traditional...

Aspects of the social structure of the California ground squirrel (Spermophilus beecheyi) in western Oregon

Creator:: Bickford, Carol E.
Abstract:: A population of Spermophilus beecheyi was studied to determine patterns of individual spacing, behavioral interactions among different sex and age classes, and the relationship between aspects of S. beecheyi social structure and sociality to those of other sciurids. Research was conducted on a population of squirrels living in an abandoned...

Use of the Judas goat technique to eradicate the remnant feral goat population on San Clemente Island, California

Creator:: Seward, Dawn R'Lene
Abstract:: Feral goat (Capra hircus) populations adversely impact native insular biota and physical habitats worldwide. The effectiveness of the Judas goat technique for eradicating remnant feral goats was studied on San Clemente Island (SCI), California from June 1989 through April 1991. By April 1991, 263 feral goats were killed on SCI;...

Analysis of lion-tailed macaque habitat fragmentation using satellite imagery

Creator:: Krishnamurthy, Ramesh S. (Ramesh Saligrama), 1964-
Abstract:: Deforestation and forest fragmentation are the primary threats to the habitat of endangered lion-tailed macaques, Macaca silenus, in Karnataka, India. Landsat satellite images of northwest Karnataka, India, from 1977 and 1990 were analyzed. Two study sites, measuring 16.35 x 19.14 km (31,213 ha) and 14.34 x 21.44 km (30,561 ha),...

Leadership behavior and foraging strategies of a herd of Roosevelt elk inhabiting the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Marquez, Monica
Abstract:: A cow-calf herd of Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) resident to Indian Creek Research Center (ICRC), Oregon was observed June-August, 1985 and March-August, 1986. Cows at ICRC reproduced in alternate years; cows with calves led the herd a significantly greater number of times than cows without calves (1985, P <...

Habitat utilization by minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) in the St. Lawrence Estuary, Canada

Creator:: Zeppelin, Tonya K.
Abstract:: Characteristics of minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) habitat at the head of the Laurentian Channel in the St. Lawrence Estuary, Canada were identified by quantifying environmental and temporal habitat variables and comparing them to the presence or absence of minke whales during the summer of 1996. Identification photographs of minke whales...

The effects of forage improvement practices on Roosevelt elk in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Stussy, Rosemary J.
Abstract:: Forage availability, diets, distribution, and productivity were compared for Roosevelt elk, Cervus elaphus roosevelti, using improved (i.e. seeded, fertilized, and grazed) and untreated areas of the Oregon Coast Range. Seasonal forage availability was substantially different on 1-year-old improved and untreated clearcuts, but the differences diminished by clearcut age 4 and...

Factors influencing spawning site choice by female Garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus (Pisces: Pomacentridae)

Creator:: Sikkel, Paul C.
Abstract:: The garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus, is a sexually monochromatic pomacentrid found in rocky subtidal areas of Southern and Baja California. During the spawning season, males attempt to attract females to a nest of red algae located within individually defended territories. Females were observed to enter the nests of several males before...

Population attributes and habitat selection of recolonizing mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa)

Creator:: Hacker, Amy L.
Abstract:: I investigated the population attributes and habitat selection of mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa) recolonizing clearcuts in the Coast Range mountains of Polk and Lincoln counties, Oregon between June 1989 and August 1990. The population characteristics of colonizing mountain beaver were evaluated in 12 stands of 3 types: 1-year-old clearcuts assumed...

Status and habitat preference of California bighorn sheep on Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada

Creator:: Hansen, Michael Charles
Abstract:: A herd of California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana), re-introduced to the area of Hell Creek on the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in northwestern Nevada, was studied from 15 June 1978 to 20 August 1980. Major vegetation and physiographic types were delineated and described. Habitat preferences were determined from field...
