Oceanographic influences on rocky intertidal communities : coastal upwelling, invertebrate growth rates, and keystone predation

Creator:: Sanford, Eric (Eric David)
Abstract:: The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...

The effect of broadcast burning on the quality of winter forage for elk, westen Oregon

Creator:: Friesen, Cheryl Ann
Abstract:: The Roosevelt elk (Cervus elephus roosevelti) is a National Forest management indicator species on the westside of the Cascade mountains, Western Oregon. A Habitat Effectiveness model is used by State and Federal agencies to evaluate elk habitat in the region. Concerns about the model's lack of differentiation between winter and...

Bird communities in 5- to 34- year old managed Douglas-fir stands on the Willamette National Forest, Oregon Cascades

Creator:: Bettinger, Kelly Anne
Abstract:: Breeding bird communities were examined in 18 managed Douglas-fir stands in 6 age classes from 5 to 34 years old in spring and early summer, 1993 on the Detroit Ranger District, Willamette National Forest, Oregon. The range of seral stages included early shrub/sapling, late shrub/sapling, and pole. In general, the...

Response of trout, sculpins, and salamanders to experimental manipulation of large wood in Cascade Mountain streams

Creator:: Burgess, Jack A.
Abstract:: Response of aquatic vertebrates to increased pool habitat complexity due to abundance of large wood was evaluated experimentally in three streams in the Cascade Mountains of Oregon. No difference in aquatic vertebrate density was detected among treatments, though there was a trend of increasing aquatic vertebrate density with increasing large...

Influences of Human Activity on Stream Temperatures and Existence of Cold-Water Fish in Streams with Elevated Temperature: Report of a Workshop

Creator:: Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (Or.)
Abstract:: The Independent Multidisciplinary Science Team (IMST) convened a panel of experts on stream temperature and fish ecology in Corvallis, Oregon on October 5-6, 2000 for a scientific workshop on human influences on stream temperature and responses by salmonids. The workshop was designed to review and discuss scientifically credible data and...

Habitat associations of bird communities in shrub-steppe and western juniper woodlands

Creator:: Reinkensmeyer, Daniel P.
Abstract:: The encroachment of western juniper into mountain big sagebrush plant communities and the subsequent development of juniper stands results in significant changes in vegetation structure and complexity. This study described and compared vegetative structure and bird community measures among four cover types representing a broad range of structural stages among...

Habitat alteration and human disturbance : their impact on cougar habitat utilization in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Gagliuso, Robert A.
Abstract:: Eight cougars were radio-collared and monitored during 1985 - 1987. Home range size, determined by minimum convex polygons, averaged 153.1 km2 for females, 543.5 km2 for males. Core home range size, determined by harmonic mean analysis, averaged 21.7 km2 for females, 17.9 km2 for males. Home ranges of males and...

Influence of limited access roads on Roosevelt elk in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Cole, Eric K.
Abstract:: No studies have evaluated the effects of limited vehicle access on movements, survival and habitat use of Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) . We installed twenty gates, restricting motorized vehicle access by the public in seven discrete Road Management Areas (RMAs), comprising 35% of the study area. We radio-tracked 31...

Activity of bats in thinned, unthinned, and old-growth forests in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Humes, Marcia Lynn
Abstract:: Ten species of bats occur in the Oregon Coast Range and are hypothesized to be associated with late-successional forests. The development of characteristics of late-successional forests in young forest stands can be accelerated through silvicultural practices such as thinning I examined the effects of thinning on the use of forests...

Riparian and adjacent upslope beetle communities along a third order stream in the western Cascade Mountain Range, Oregon

Creator:: Brenner, Gregory John
Abstract:: Monitoring wildlife habitats has become important to forest ecosystem management because it provides valuable information about the response of forests and their species to harvest practices, impacts from recreational use, conservation efforts, and natural and human-caused disturbances. Monitoring is a complex task that requires a variety of abiotic and biotic...
