Multiscale relationships of wintering birds with riparian and wetland habitat in the Willamette Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: Relatively little is known about wintering bird communities in lowlands of the Pacific Northwest, yet, the condition of winter habitats potentially can pose a major constraint on bird populations. I initiated a study to determine: (1) Which avian species use lowland riparian and wetland habitats in the Willamette Valley during...

Physical habitat classification for conservation planning in the Klamath Mountains region

Creator:: Vance-Borland, Kenneth W.
Abstract:: I classified the environment of the Klamath Mountains region into physical habitat types using climate and soil variables and a geographic information system (GIS). I used principal components analysis to find four variables representing most regional climate variation: average annual precipitation, the difference between December and July precipitation, average annual...

Fingerprinting and genetic stability of Rubus using molecular markers

Creator:: Castillo, Nina Rosa F.
Abstract:: Two studies used DNA markers to assess their usefulness in germplasm identification and evaluation of genetic stability in four cryopreserved Rubus accessions that were stored for over 10 years in liquid nitrogen. In the first study, 12 robust Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers were developed from two microsatellite-enriched libraries of...

Long-term Fire Effects on Plant Succession and Exotic Weeds in Protected Area Sagebrush Steppe, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon

Creator:: Reed-Dustin, Claire Marie
Abstract:: The historical function of fire in sagebrush steppe has been altered by 19th century overgrazing, active fire suppression, annual grass invasion and encroachment of woody species. The significance of fire to these systems is known, but research on long-term fire effects are limited. The Sheep Rock management unit of the...

Negative effect of purple loosestrife and reed canary grass on the diversity of wetland plant and moth communities

Creator:: Schooler, Shon
Abstract:: Invasive plants have the potential to reduce the diversity of species in plant and animal communities. I examined the negative effect of two invasive wetland plants, purple loosestrife and reed canary grass, on the species richness and diversity of plant and moth communities within 24 wetland study sites in the...

Evaluation of Rubus seed characteristics: seed coat morphology, anatomy, germination requirements and dormancy breaking

Creator:: Wada, Sugae
Abstract:: Rubus seed characteristics; seed coat morphology, anatomy, germination requirements and dormancy were studied in order to define protocols for breaking seed dormancy. Morphological analysis of the seed coat (testa) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) included 56 seed accessions of 10 subgenera preserved in the collections of the US Department of...
