State-Level Challenges to Invasive Insect Management: A Case Study of Spotted Lanternfly in the Northeast

Creator:: Adams, Jennifer
Abstract:: Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive insect that was first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014, and has since spread across the Northeastern United States. States in the Northeast have created quarantine zones, regulations, outreach, reporting systems, and management efforts for the control of spotted lanternfly. Despite states’ efforts, spotted...

The Use of Effectiveness Monitoring and Reporting for Fish and Wildlife Habitat Restoration Within the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program 2010-2018

Creator:: Kitayama, Eileen K.
Abstract:: The Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) is a collection of large-scale restoration projects across the United States that are striving to improve many economic, social, and ecological sustainability issues, including the condition of fish and wildlife habitat. Effectiveness monitoring is a specific type of monitoring that is critically important...

Ungulate activity classification : calibrating activity monitor GPS collars for Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer, and cattle

Creator:: Gaylord, Adam J.
Abstract:: Ungulate behavior has been studied extensively but direct observation of free-ranging animals over long periods of time and large geographic areas is often prohibitively difficult. Improved technology, such as GPS collars fitted with motion-sensitive activity monitors, provides researchers with a potential tool to remotely collect fine scale activity and location...

Pacific marten occupancy and detection probability in relation to infrastructure and environmental factors in the southern Cascade Mountains

Creator:: Hill, Deborah J.
Abstract:: Humans benefit from being in nature and recreating, however outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife, including species of conservation concern such as the Pacific marten (Martes caurina). Densities of martens decline following intensive forest management activities, but impacts from recreation are relatively unstudied. My goal was to evaluate marten occupancy...

Pacific marten occupancy and detection probability in relation to infrastructure and environmental factors in the southern Cascade Mountains

Creator:: Hill, Deborah J.
Abstract:: Humans benefit from being in nature and recreating, however outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife, including species of conservation concern such as the Pacific marten (Martes caurina), which has been used as a focal species for demonstrating ecosystem integrity. Marten population densities decline following intensive forest management activities, but impacts...

Conifer regeneration, understory vegetation and artificially topped conifer responses to alternative silvicultural treatments

Creator:: Huff, Tristan
Abstract:: Historically, between 40-60% of the Coast Range of Oregon was comprised of structurally diverse, old forests initiated by disturbances of various spatial scales ranging from thousands of acres (large fires) to the size of a single tree (windthrow). The predominant regeneration method of the past several decades, however, has been...

Place-based metrics guiding southwest urban forestry design

Creator:: Beshur, Athena D.
Abstract:: Through well designed tree placement, redundant use of simple technologies, and stewardship, trees grow. Over time, they mitigate stormwater flooding and enhance livability. This paper offers insights into precipitation patterns, and how small scale redundancy can help build the urban tree canopy. It is specifically geared toward issues in the...

Institutional (in)Justice: Queer and Trans Survivors’ Experiences Accessing Resources at Oregon State University and the University of Oregon

Creator:: Hunt, Emilee, C.
Abstract:: Recent studies have shown that queer, trans, and non-binary students alike are experiencing sexual assault at higher rates than their heterosexual, cisgender counterparts (Cantor et al. IV). While conversations surrounding university sexual assault education and prevention have increased in recent years, this disparity suggests that not enough is being done...

The Effects of Road Noise on Pacific Chorus Frog Communication

Creator:: Nelson, Danielle V.
Abstract:: Amphibians are experiencing global population declines and are one of the most threatened groups of vertebrates. This can be attributed to multiple environmental stressors such as habitat loss, disease, invasive species, and climate change. For vocal amphibian species, loss of acoustic habitat due to anthropogenic noise may be yet another...

The use of remote sensing for characterizing forests in wildlife habitat modeling

Creator:: Vogeler, Jody C.
Abstract:: Spatially explicit maps of habitat relationships have proven to be valuable tools for conservation and management applications including evaluating how and which species may be impacted by large scale climate change, ongoing fragmentation of habitat, and local land-use practices. Studies have turned to remote sensing datasets as a way to...
