Small mammal relationships with downed wood and antelope bitterbrush in ponderosa pine forests of central Oregon

Creator:: Smith, Troy G.
Abstract:: Downed wood and antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) are often managed on federal ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests in central Oregon to prevent catastrophic wildfires and provide wildlife habitat. However, although much is known regarding the roles of downed wood and bitterbrush in wildfire behavior, little is known regarding the relationships...

Relationships between forest-floor invertebrate distribution, movement, and microclimate under alternative riparian management practices

Creator:: Rykken, Jessica J.
Abstract:: Headwater streams and their riparian zones are a common, yet poorly understood, component of Pacific Northwest landscapes. I sought to describe the ecological significance of headwater stream riparian zones as habitat for forest-floor invertebrate communities, and to assess how alternative management strategies for riparian zones may impact these communities. I...

Landscape occupancy by free ranging cattle in northeast Oregon

Creator:: Wilson, Kerry D.
Abstract:: Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies were employed to evaluate cattle occupancy of three landscape attributes on three different grazing allotments administered by the Wallowa Whitman National Forest in Northeast Oregon. Topographic characteristics of slope; 0-4%, 4-12%, 12-35% and >35% were evaluated as well as north...

Animal welfare: understanding and addressing issues related to the well-being of livestock

Creator:: Pawelek, Robert, Croney, Candace, and Oregon State University. Extension Service
Abstract:: The goals of Oregon livestock producers are parallel to those of the American Dream—to enjoy an occupation of raising livestock, provide for their families, be independent, and avoid unwarranted criticism and interference. For Oregon livestock producers to stay in business and remain on the ranch, they must be efficient, responsible...

Effects of spatial scale and heterogeneity on avian occupancy dynamics and population trends in forested mountain landscapes

Creator:: Frey, Sarah J. K.
Abstract:: Population trends and patterns in species distributions are the major currencies used to examine responses by biodiversity to changing environments. Effective conservation recommendations require that models of both distribution dynamics and population trends accurately reflect reality. However, identification of the appropriate temporal and spatial scales of animal response, and then...

Habitat use by opossums in an urban environment

Creator:: Meier, Karen E.
Abstract:: Habitat availability and use by an urban population of opossums were studied with radio telemetry in Corvallis, Oregon in 1981 and 1982. For non-den observations, residential neighborhood types were used about in the proportion available, agricultural/park/riverfront neighborhood types were used in higher proportion than available, and commercial/industrial neighborhood types were...

Geographic distributions of prey of the northern spotted owl in the central western Cascades, Oregon, 1988-2009

Creator:: Smoluk, Alexis
Abstract:: Spatial variation in the diet of the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) influences owl home ranges, and understanding this relationship will aid managers in forest management prescriptions that influence spotted owl recovery. This study describes the spatial variation in owl diet based on 4183 prey collected at 114 owl...

Short-tailed weasel space use in managed forests of western Oregon

Creator:: Linnell, Mark A.
Abstract:: Although short-tailed weasels (Mustela erminea) are important predators of small mammals, little is known about their space use, habitat selection, or vulnerability to predation in North America. To evaluate the effects of forest management and social structure on home range size and habitat selection of short-tailed weasels, I conducted a...

Wildlife Health in Managed Forests : Immunity and Infectious Diseases in Wild Rodents of Oregon

Creator:: Hanselmann, Rhea
Abstract:: With continual and worldwide human population growth, our impact on the natural environment expands and intensifies every day. We consume natural resources, burn fossil fuels, and release toxic compounds into the air, water, and earth. We build roads that fragment the landscape, construct new settlements, and develop agricultural lands in...
