Foraging ecology of California quail and response of key foods to habitat manipulations in western Oregon

Creator:: Blakely, Kevin L.
Abstract:: Seasonal diet and food selection of California quail (Callipepla californica) were studied at E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon, during 1985 to 1987. Analysis of diets of 105 quail, along with information from 117 quail taken during 1976 to 1978 revealed 14 key plant foods. Collectively, the key foods composed 87%...

Influence of water temperature and beaver ponds on Lahontan cutthroat trout in a high-desert stream, southeastern Oregon

Creator:: Talabere, Andrew G.
Abstract:: The distribution of Lahontan cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki henshawi was assessed in a high-desert stream in southeastern Oregon where beaver Castor canadensis are abundant. Longitudinal patterns of beaver ponds, habitat, temperature, and Lahontan cutthroat trout age group distribution were identified throughout Willow Creek. Three distinct stream segments were classified based...

Riparian lichens of northern Idaho

Creator:: Hutchinson, Jenifer L.
Abstract:: Riparian forests in the Idaho Panhandle, north of Whitebird, were surveyed for rare riparian lichen species. The region was stratified into nine geographic units and by stream size. Eighty-one plots were surveyed for lichen community, stand and river characteristics. Variables important to lichen community composition included regional differences, elevation, climatic...

Nesting ecology of mallards in the Willamette Valley of Oregon

Creator:: Rickerson, Eric V.
Abstract:: Although widely studied in many portions of North America, little is known about the specific habitat requirements of mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) during the breeding season in western Oregon. I radio-marked 72 female mallards in the Willamette Valley of Oregon in March-April 1995-96 to document wetland habitat selection during pre-nesting...

Landsat-based monitoring of annual wetland change in the main-stem Willamette River floodplain of Oregon, USA from 1972 to 2012

Creator:: Fickas, Kate C.
Abstract:: Despite holding substantial ecological value, wetlands in the United States have experienced a significant decline in both area and function over the past century with the majority of freshwater wetland loss attributed to agricultural conversion. Agriculture is the second largest industry in the State of Oregon and the State places...

Use of the Judas goat technique to eradicate the remnant feral goat population on San Clemente Island, California

Creator:: Seward, Dawn R'Lene
Abstract:: Feral goat (Capra hircus) populations adversely impact native insular biota and physical habitats worldwide. The effectiveness of the Judas goat technique for eradicating remnant feral goats was studied on San Clemente Island (SCI), California from June 1989 through April 1991. By April 1991, 263 feral goats were killed on SCI;...

Bacteria die-off in stream sediments

Creator:: Sherer, Brett Micheal
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact sediment has on the survival of bacteria in a typical rangeland stream. This information is an important component in determining a time integrated prediction of bacterial numbers in the stream sediment and overlying water. Bacterial survival in stream is a...

The ecological legacy of Indian burning practices in southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Carloni, Kenneth R.
Abstract:: Two research questions are posed: (1) How have ecosystem conditions changed through time in southwestern Oregon? (2) How have culture-driven and climate-driven processes contributed to ecosystem change in southwestern Oregon? A brief introduction to the Little River study area is followed by a cultural and ecological history of the watershed....

Delineating pattern and process in tropical lowland : mealy parrot migration dynamics as a guide for regional conservation planning

Creator:: Bjork, Robin D.
Abstract:: Most reserves fail to capture the habitat heterogeneity necessary to maintain viable populations of wide-ranging species. Methods to determine defensible dimensions of reserves and reserve networks are needed. The primary goal of this study was to develop such methods for lowland tropical forests by examining habitat- and spatial-use patterns of...

Relationship between habitat changes and productivity of sage grouse at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, Oregon

Creator:: Coggins, Kreg A.
Abstract:: From 1987-1997, Oregon State University conducted studies at Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge (HMNAR) to better understand the relationship between grouse productivity and key habitat components. Early studies indicated sage grouse habitat preference and reproductive success were related to particular forbs (including legumes and milky juice composites) and structural characters...
