Four studies were conducted on late-summer diet quality and quantity of cattle (Bos taurus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), and elk (Cervus elaphus) in response to prior grazing by cattle and elk on mixed-conifer rangelands and on related research techniques. In our first study we assessed a photographic technique to...
The potential for Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus)
to host exotic chewing lice (Damalinia (Cervicola) sp.) believed to cause deer hair
loss syndrome in Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus),
was investigated in captive deer held in pens at E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Corvallis,
Oregon from March 2004...
Few studies have examined both long-term and fine-scale spatial variations in
water quality of small streams in the Pacific Northwest. As such, a case study was
conducted to determine if current physical and chemical properties of water in three
streams located in the Oregon Coast Range differed from historically measured...

A study conducted May 1978-December 1980 determined that the present geographic range of Columbian white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus leucurus, (CWTD) in Douglas County, Oregon encompassed 1199km2. The area was predominately a Quercus woodland community, typical of the Interior Valley Zone of western Oregon. The CWTD distribution
was not contiguous throughout...

The movements, habitat use, and activity patterns of black-tailed deer in western Oregon, and the influence of suburban housing developments on the behavior of deer in the area, were studied and described. Radio telemetry, spotlight censusing, and a resident questionnaire were used to document the behavior of deer. Radio telemetry...
Rates of defecation of black-tailed deer in the Tillamook Burn of western Oregon were estimated using counts of groups of fecal
pellets in 1959 and 1960. A 340-acre enclosure was divided into eight range types on the basis of depth of soil, aspect, and elevation. The estimated rates of defecation...
A study of the life history, population dynamics, and ecological relationships of the Columbian white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginiarius leucurus) was conducted on the
Washington mainland, Columbian White-tailed Deer National Wildlife Refuge during 1972-1973 to provide information for management of this endangered subspecies. A total of 18,077 observations of deer recorded...
The main objective of this investigation was to evaluate relationships
between the production and utilization of forage and deer
browsing of hand-planted Douglas-fir seedlings. A secondary purpose
was to study some effects of selected physical and biological
site factors on the survival and growth of fir seedlings.
Field work was...
