Clarence "Clancy" C. Gordon served as a professor of Botany and Environmental Studies at the University of Montana-Missoula from 1960 until his death in 1981. This collection contains materials related to Gordon’s prolific...

Hare barley (Hordeum murinum ssp. leporinum) is a cool season annual grass that invades pastures and range areas around the world. A documented weed management issue in several Oregon counties, hare barley may infest several thousand acres in...

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the nature of the chemical constituents of incense cedar bark with the hope that such an endeavor would spur future research, development and use of a now neglected natural raw material. The bark...

Nest counts from the largest subpopulation of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) in the Atlantic, peninsular Florida, have been declining since 1998. Analyzing trends of nests and adult females is insufficient to determine the overall...

My objectives were to: 1) develop a point count technique for estimating relative abundance of band-tailed pigeons (Columbafasciata monilis), 2) determine the availability, distribution, and interspersion of mineral sites, and nesting and foraging...

The life history of juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) resident in Chignik River, Alaska, represents a departure from the lacustrine, pelagic existence typical of juveniles of this species. For this reason, the distribution, relative...

Further development of an environmental grid for interpreting plant distribution and growth took place this last year as an attempt to solve problems associated with spatial diversity in ecosystems. Special emphasis was placed on developing more...

Interest has increased in developing renewable energy sources to reduce U. S. dependence on oil. Policy makers and resource managers now are considering power generation technologies proposed for development along the Continental Shelf of the U....

Cold air drainage and pooling occur in many mountain valleys, especially at night and during winter. Local climate regimes associated with frequent cold air pooling have substantial impacts on species phenology, distribution and diversity....

The mesoscale sea-surface circulation pattern within 400 km off Chile and between 18°S and 40°S latitude is described using chlorophyll and temperature images from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner NIMBUS-7 satellite. The data base is a set of four...

This project was initiated to determine the incidence, distribution and species of fish affected by Ceratomyxa shasta in Oregon waters. Returning adult Pacific salmon and steelhead trout were chosen for the survey because they were known to be...

To best manage Eagle Creek National Fish Hatchery and minimize any negative impacts that the current hatchery program may be having on Endangered Species Act-listed salmonids in the Eagle Creek Basin, I determined if wild fish are being displaced...

I studied spring food habits, focusing on cambium-feeding, of black bears (Ui-gus americanus) in the Central Coast Ranges of Oregon (1987-90) by comparing an area with high levels of timber damage caused by bears (north area) with an adjacent area...

Field and laboratory work was undertaken in 1993 to increase understanding of the life history and ecology of the brown jellyfish, Chrysaora fuscescens, a large semaeostome typically abundant in the neritic regions of the Oregon coast during...

Past tracking studies of marine animals have primarily targeted adults, biasing our understanding of at-sea habitat use toward older life stages. Anthropogenic threats persist throughout the at-sea ranges of all life stages and it is therefore of...

Populations of organisms are influenced by both top-down (predator driven) and bottom-up (environment or resource driven) effects. Seabird research has largely focused on bottom-up factors influencing reproduction, with little emphasis on...

Twelve sites of uniform topography and soils were selected in the Pinus ponderosa/Purshia tridentata/Festuca idahoensis Association. These sites were located in the rain shadow on the east flank of the Oregon Cascades. A fire history in the form...

In the field of herpetology, most studies of homing have been carried out with anurans and, to a lesser degree, reptiles. Studies of orientation and navigation in urodeles have been limited to a few brief notes and the extensive investigation of...

Alternatives to clear-cutting are being implemented to increase biodiversity of managed forests in the Pacific Northwest. Lichens are an integral component of old growth, but lichen biomass develops slowly in forests. We evaluated the long-term...

From 3 April – 21 September 2007, we monitored the distribution, abundance and productivity of the federally Threatened Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) along the Oregon coast. From north to south, we surveyed and monitored...

From 2 April – 14 September 2006, we monitored the distribution, abundance and productivity of the federally Threatened Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus) along the Oregon coast. From north to south, we surveyed and monitored...

Despite the critical ecological roles of structural features in forests, ecologically relevant quantitative measures of structure that allow comparisons among forest stands are still limited. A new index, the structural complexity index (SCI), was...

In a mountainous region of southwestern Oregon where temperature, moisture and nutritional status of forest communities have already been classified, the influence of tight upon conifer growth and plant distribution was investigated. Light,...
