To observe the effects of oviposition as related to time of insemination
on fertility, four trials were conducted in which individually
caged White Leghorn hens were artificially inseminated with 0.05 cc
of undiluted mixed semen obtained from 4 to 5 cockerels. These inseminations
were made at 9:45 a.m. , 10:00...
Heritability in the narrow sense and in the broad sense, variance components and
correlation coefficients are important genetic parameters in a breeding program. The
estimates of these parameters can provide important information for a breeder in the
selection of parents, the most efficient design for evaluation of seedlings and advanced...
The effect of forest shrub vegetation on soil moisture,
temperatures evaporation potentials and the survivals growth and
bud activity of five species of Pinus was studied on planting
sites placed on opposite exposures on two locations in southwest
Oregon and northeast Mexico. Treatments applied were: Manual
slashing; Manual slashing plus...
Geographic variation was investigated among 225 locations from five geographically disjunct regions in central Oregon. Characters included: germination speed and uniformity in two test environments
differing in stratification period and incubation temperature; weight, three dimensions and three 'angles' of seeds; weight and three dimensions of wings; cone length and scale...
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is one of the oldest known domesticated crops. Originally cultivated for human consumption, other end-uses have gained importance over the millennia. Barley is the fourth most important cereal crop in the world (FAO-STAT, 2011), and today it is mainly used as animal feed or malted for...

During years 2005, 2006, and 2007 ewes of predominantly Polypay breeding were bred to either Dorper or Polypay rams for spring lambing. Ewes were assigned to single-sire mating groups based on age and genotype. Internally generated replacements were added to the flock for the 2007 lambing season and bred to...
Basal area and height growth were analyzed for individual trees in uneven-aged ponderosa and lodgepole pine stands in central Oregon. Basal area growth was modeled as a function of other stand and tree variables to address five general objectives: 1) to compare the predictive ability of distance-dependent versus distance-independent stand...
A pandora moth (Coloradia pandora Blake) outbreak began in 1991 in a ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex. Laws) spacing study area that also included scattered sugar pine (P. lambertiana Dougl). The relation of defoliation to five tree spacings (with and without understory vegetation) was examined, and stand growth reduction...
Between 1982-1984 I studied site tenacity and mate retention in Black Terns at Sycan Marsh, Lake County, Oregon. I banded 778 adult Black Terns and used this marked population to test the hypotheses that site tenacity and mate retention would be less for Black Terns which nest in variable marsh...
