Surfacing Behavior of Juvenile Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina

Creator:: Patton, B. Wren
Abstract:: Sea turtles are endangered species that can be censused with aerial surveys, but the number of turtles in an area must be extrapolated to include animals that are submerged. Twenty-one satellite tags were attached to juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in North Carolina. I analyzed surfacing and dive behavior...

Wildland fire in ecosystems : effects of fire on fauna

Creator:: Lyon, L. Jack, Huff, Mark H., Hooper, Robert G., Telfer, Edmund S., Schreiner, David Scott, and Smith, Jane Kapler
Abstract:: Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire...

Habitat relationships of birds and young-growth Douglas-fir in northwestern California

Creator:: Marcot, Bruce G.
Abstract:: Ninety-one species of birds were surveyed in grass/forb, early and late shrub/sapling, pole, and medium sawtimber stages of young-growth Douglas-fir in northwestern California; patterns of bird distribution and abundance were related to habitat conditions and even-age silvicultural treatments. Seven species (band-tailed pigeon, western wood pewee, dusky flycatcher, western bluebird, fox...

Irrigated Wetlands Of The Colorado Plateau: Information Synthesis And Habitat Evaluation Method

Creator:: Adamus, Paul R.
Abstract:: Wetlands of the Colorado Plateau that receive water from irrigation can, by their functions, support several societal values. For example, their capacity for removing nitrate and perhaps pesticides from nonpoint source runoff might be considerable. However, relatively little research has been conducted in irrigated wetlands, and their ability to alter...

Exploring Volcano-Tectonic Connections in Cascadia – Temporal Linkages between Tephra Deposition and Megathrust Earthquakes

Creator:: Gutierrez, Joel C.
Abstract:: Explosively erupting volcanoes and megathrust earthquakes (Mw 8+ magnitude) occur at subduction zones and adjacent volcanic arcs. Volcanic eruptions are observed occurring close in time to megathrust earthquakes in the historical record from at least the 18th century CE to present in locations globally, including Japan in 1707 CE (Chesley...

Habitat use by snag-associated species : a bibliography for species occurring in Oregon and Washington

Creator:: Weikel, Jennifer M., Hayes, John P. (John Parker), and Oregon State University. Forest Research Laboratory
Abstract:: Fifty-seven species of wildlife rely on or frequently use snags for breeding, roosting, or denning in Oregon and Washington. Several publications offer information on use of snags by wildlife, influence of management activities on snags and snag users, and approaches to managing snags to benefit wildlife. Because of the diverse...

Riparian bird communities in Portland, Oregon : habitat, urbanization, and spatial scale patterns

Creator:: Hennings, Lori A.
Abstract:: Urban ecosystems are characterized by human disturbance and changes in the amount, types, and spatial arrangement of wildlife habitat. The relative importance of habitat and human associated variables to urban birds is unknown. In 1999, I surveyed spring bird and plant communities along 54 perennial streams in the Portland, Oregon...

The use of burned forest by breeding birds following the Biscuit Fire in southwest Oregon

Creator:: Donaghy Cannon, Michelle M.
Abstract:: Fire severity is hypothesized as an important driver of bird responses to wildfire. For those species that typically respond negatively to increasing severity, Accessibility of high-severity burned forest may be dependent on the proximity of unburned or low-severity burned forest to meet all of the needs of breeding bird species...

Sedimentology of Seismo-Turbidites off the Cascadia and Northern California Active Tectonic Continental Margins, Northwest Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Gutierrez-Pastor, Julia, Nelson, C. Hans, Goldfinger, Chris, and Escutia, Carlota
Abstract:: Holocene turbidites from turbidite channel systems along the active tectonic continental margins of the Cascadia Subduction Zone (offshore Vancouver Island to Mendocino Triple Junction) and the northern San Andreas Transform Fault (the Triple Junction to San Francisco Bay), have been analyzed for sedimentologic features related to their seismic origin. Centimeter...
