Dietary (n-3) and (n-6) fatty acids and vitamin E : their effects on the immune response of healthy geriatric Beagle dogs

Creator:: Tooley, Katie A.
Abstract:: We have previously shown that diets enriched with (n-3) fatty acids reduced the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin reaction to keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) in geriatric-Beagles. Although the amount of α-tocopheryl acetate in diets of the previous study exceeded requirements, plasma α-tocopherol concentration was significantly lower in dogs fed the high...

Carnivore Competition: Spatial and Dietary Implications of Gray Wolf Recolonization for Cougars in Northeast Oregon

Creator:: Orning, Elizabeth Kari
Abstract:: After a 40-year absence from Oregon’s landscape, expanding gray wolf (Canis lupus) populations are reestablishing elements of interspecific competition with sympatric large carnivores, like cougars (Puma concolor). This presents new challenges for management of large carnivores and their ungulate prey populations (e.g., elk, Cervus canadensis nelsoni; mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus)...

Habitat use and movement behavior of Pacific marten (Martes caurina) in response to forest management practices in Lassen National Forest, California

Creator:: Moriarty, Katie M.
Abstract:: Some of the most pressing conservation concerns involve declining populations of species with low fecundity and highly specialized foraging and reproductive requirements. Yet, we often lack a functional understanding of how individuals of those species interact with their environment, specifically how their movement is affected by human-induced changes. In order...

Resistance of Grape Rootstocks to Crown Gall

Creator:: Miller, Marilyn L., Tooley, Katie, Ferguson, Kathleen, Schindler, Clara, and Moore, Larry W.
Abstract:: Crown gall can develop on grapevines wounded by freezing temperatures, mechanical damage or grafting. Increased demand for grape varieties grafted to phylloxera resistant rootstocks has led to increased incidence of crown gall at graft unions. Therefore a search for plant material that is resistant to crown gall has been undertaken....

Crown Gall of Grape Rootstocks

Creator:: Miller, Marilyn L., Tooley, Katie, Ferguson, Kathleen, Toma, Kyle, Mentzer, Jessica, and Moore, Larry W.
Abstract:: Crown gall can develop on grapevines wounded by freezing temperatures, mechanical damage or grafting. Pathogenic agrobacteria residing within the vascular system are able to initiate tumor growth in damaged plant cells. Sampling from 21 sites in Oregon vineyards and nurseries yielded diverse populations of pathogenic agrobacteria. Most of the pathogenic...

Historic Survival Rates and Cause-Specific Mortality for Columbian Black-Tailed Deer in Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Groot, Kevyn A.
Abstract:: In contrast with other Odocoileus species, Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) population dynamics are not well understood throughout the species’ range. Concerns over apparent long-term population declines have prompted efforts to fill basic knowledge gaps including estimates of vital rates (fecundity, recruitment and survival) and cause-specific mortality. The Oregon...

Demography, home range, and habitat selection of northern spotted owls in the Ashland Watershed

Creator:: Schilling, Jason W.
Abstract:: Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) inhabit productive forests that historically supported frequent, large, variable-severity fires in the Klamath province of southwestern Oregon occur in complex. The potential for high-severity wildfire remains high throughout this region, so remaining spotted owl habitat is at risk. An adaptive management approach to fire...

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) Survival, Home Range Size, and Rest Site Use in Southwest Oregon

Creator:: Somers, Lindsay N.
Abstract:: The ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) is a small, nocturnal, meso-carnivore that occupies mid-elevation forests in the southwest portion of Oregon. Ringtail are fully protected within Oregon, but a species of conservation concern as they may be vulnerable to habitat loss and fragmentation. Limited data exists regarding ringtail ecology in forested ecosystems,...

Effects of Habitat Characteristics, Weather and Presence of Barred Owls (Strix varia) on Occupancy Dynamics and Breeding Propensity of Northern Spotted Owls (S. occidentalis caurina) in Mount Rainier National Park

Creator:: Mangan, Anna O.
Abstract:: For over 100 years, National Parks have existed to preserve America’s natural and cultural heritage for current and future generations. As environmental pressures on wildlife and habitats have increased in recent decades, National Park lands have become important protected areas for many threatened and endangered species. Conservation and management of...

The Influence of Alternate Life History Strategies and Natal Conditions on the Reproductive Performance of Adélie Penguins Breeding on Ross Island, Antarctica

Creator:: Kappes, Peter J.
Abstract:: A fundamental objective of ecology and population biology is to identify factors that drive population dynamics and determine the population-level consequences of their interaction with the environment. Studies of reproductive performance can illuminate population dynamic processes, including the links between organismal biology, the environment, and life history theory. A central...
