The western Nearctic species of the genus Phytocoris Fallen were
taxonomically revised. Over 15,000 specimens were examined.
Information concerning host plant associations and distributions was
compiled and summarized for use by future researchers. External
morphological features and characters of the male genitalia were used
to distinguish species. The genital tubercles...
A hierarchical classification system of Iceland's
watersheds and rivers is presented. The classification
is based on Iceland's substrate, climate, water, biota,
and human cultural influences. The geological formations
of Iceland are very different in character depending on
their age and formation history. Three major types of
formations occur: Tertiary, Plio-Pleistocene,...
Species interactions and their effect on the use of habitat by benthic fishes were examined in a guild composed of Cottus perplexus, C. rhotheus, and C. beldingi in the Marys River above Philomath, Oregon, and in a constant environment provided by an artificial stream. In the Marys River system, the...
The objectives of the current study were to 1) investigate the effect a high-docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 n-3, DHA) microalgae product (MAL), and choline dosage in diets containing MAL, on egg production performance, physical egg quality, and nutritional parameters, and 2) determine whether choline dosage influences hepatic lipid metabolism of...
An outbreak of western spruce budworm Choristoneura
occidentalis in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon in
1983 was treated with helicopter applied carbaryl. Effects
of the spraying on forest ants were determined from pre- and
postspray samples taken from two carbaryl sprayed and
two unsprayed plots. In each 0.75-ha plot,...
A sustainable resource development plan framework was prepared for the
Neskonlith Indian Band, who are located in the interior of British Columbia, Canada.
The framework intends to address issues involving; integrated resource management,
traditional native land management, ecosystem management, and community-based
resource management.
A soft systems (Wilson & Morren, 1990)...
The red-band trout is native to many small, isolated streams in southeastern Oregon. A study of the red-band population of Three-
mile Creek and Reservoir was conducted from August 1973 to June 1975. Data were collected concerning population size, age composition,
growth, biomass, recruitment, fecundity, and habitat. During the spring...
The accumulation of fuels in fire prone landscapes, and changing climatic conditions, have resulted in increasingly volatile fire behaviors. As a result, social and operational risk, management expenditures, and budgetary requirements for responsible agencies are increasing. The United States Forest Service (USFS) manages 193 million acres across the United States...
