Resource partitioning of four sympatric mynas and starlings (Sturnidae) in Thailand

Creator:: Tunhikorn, Schwann
Abstract:: Patterns of resource partitioning among 4 sympatric sturnids: [black-collared starling (Sturnus nigricollis), pied starling (S. contra), common myna (Acridotheres tristis) and crested myna (A. javanicus) were determined based on their food habits, foraging and nesting microhabitat selection, morphology and behavior. The study was conducted from March 1986 to June 1988...

Examining the Association of Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Sheely, Hannah J.
Abstract:: Introduction: Physical activity (PA) is recommended for all individuals because of the benefits it provides to physical health, mental health, and overall quality of life (QoL). It is also recommended for children with developmental disabilities (DDs), which make up about 15% of all U.S. children ages 3-17 years. Previous studies...

Understanding sporulation and dissemination of Podosphaera macularis, hop powdery mildew

Creator:: Peetz, Amy B.
Abstract:: Podosphaera macularis causes one of the most important diseases, powdery mildew, of Humulus lupulus (hop). If left unmanaged, hop powdery mildew can cause total crop loss due to disease or browning of hop cones rendering the cones unmarketable to buyers. The Hop Powdery Mildew Infection Risk Index (HOPS) is heavily...

An experimental investigation of the effects of temperature and dissolved oxygen on the growth of juvenile English sole and juvenile Dungeness crab

Creator:: Bancroft, Morgan P.
Abstract:: In the past two decades, occurrences of summertime upwelling-driven low dissolved oxygen (DO) events, or hypoxia, have increased along the northeast Pacific coast. If hypoxic events are severe enough to cause marine species mortality, the areas affected are often called "dead zones." In 2002 and again in 2006, the events...

Oregon State University Student Electoral Participation, 2006-2010

Creator:: Bene, Heather T.
Abstract:: This study examines student voting at Oregon State University (OSU) – Oregon’s public, land-grant university – in state elections from 2006-2010. The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), Oregon Senate Bill 951 (2007), and Oregon House Bill 2880 (2011) seek to increase university student voting. In particular, SB 951...

Breeding bird community composition in relation to riparian vegetation structure in grazed habitats

Creator:: Sanders, Todd Alan
Abstract:: Riparian zones provide habitat for breeding birds in the semiarid western United States; however, there are few data available that address the effects of livestock grazing strategies on riparian habitats and avian communities. Documenting avian community composition in different riparian vegetation communities and relating vegetation communities to livestock grazing strategies...

Effects of habitat manipulations on California quail in western Oregon

Creator:: Oates, Russell M.
Abstract:: The effects of disking, food plantings, and wheat plantings on a population of California quail (Lophortyx californicus) were studied from fall 1976 to spring 1978 on the E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area, Oregon. Twelve 16.2-ha study sites were established: 3 study sites for each treatment and 3 control sites. Disked areas,...

The effects of rotational grazing and prescribed burning on bobwhite populations in south Texas

Creator:: Wilson, Marcia H.
Abstract:: Short-term effects of 3 grazing systems and prescribed burning on bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations were investigated on the Welder Wildlife Refuge near Corpus Christi, Texas, during spring (April through June) and fall (September through October) of 1976 and 1977. Two rotational systems, high intensity-low frequency (HILF) and four-pasture, deferred-rotation (4PDR),...

Ecology and behavior of bison in the Henry Mountains, Utah

Creator:: Van Vuren, Dirk
Abstract:: Aspects of bison ecology and behavior were studied in the Henry Mountains, Utah during summer 1977 and summer 1978. Foraging distributions of bison and of cattle were compared to elevation, slope, horizontal distance from water, vertical distance from water, aspect, and availability of preferred forage. The effect of bison-cattle interactions...
