Created Snag Dynamics and Influence on Cavity-nesting Bird Communities over 25 years in Western Oregon

Creator:: Barry, Amy Marie
Abstract:: Snags provide critical habitat for nearly one-third of wildlife species in forests of the Pacific Northwest, so historic declines in snags are thought to have had a strong impact on biodiversity. Resource managers often create snags to mitigate the scarcity of snags within managed forests, but information regarding the function...

Factors influencing spawning site choice by female Garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus (Pisces: Pomacentridae)

Creator:: Sikkel, Paul C.
Abstract:: The garibaldi, Hypsypops rubicundus, is a sexually monochromatic pomacentrid found in rocky subtidal areas of Southern and Baja California. During the spawning season, males attempt to attract females to a nest of red algae located within individually defended territories. Females were observed to enter the nests of several males before...

Using Cognitive Appraisal Theory and the Means-Ends Approach to Explore Relationships Among Perceived Tourism Impacts, Livelihoods, Quality of Life, and Residents’ Support for Tourism

Creator:: Parada Torres, Javier A.
Abstract:: Understanding residents’ perceptions of and support for tourism is essential for sustainable tourism development and management. Research has shown that perceptions of tourism impacts are related to residents’ support for tourism. It is generally accepted that perceived tourism impacts predict support for tourism, as explained by social exchange theory. However,...

An Observational Study of the Effects of Wildfire on Hermit and Varied Thrush Distribution in the Mt. Washington Wilderness Area

Creator:: Woodrich, Samuel T.
Abstract:: The hermit thrush (Catharus guttatus) and the varied thrush (Ixoreus naevius) are focal species for conservation of forested habitats in Oregon. Although habitat associations have been defined for both species, their response to changes in vegetation following wildfire has not been well studied. To help fill this information gap, I...
