Seasonal Variation In The Foraging Behavior Of Some Migratory Western Wood Warblers, Richard L. Hutto Oct 1981

Seasonal Variation In The Foraging Behavior Of Some Migratory Western Wood Warblers, Richard L. Hutto

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

I observed the foraging behavior of four warbler species (Dendroica petechia, Oporornis tolmiei, Geothlypis trichas, and Wilsonia pusilla) in the summer in Wyoming and in the winter in Nayarit, Mexico. Of six variables (absolute foraging height, relative foraging height, vegetation density, horizontal foraging position, feeding method, and foraging substrate) believed to be potentially important in distinguishing the warbler species ecologically, the two foragingheight variables provided the greatest separation of the four species in both summer and winter. An analysis of the behavioral similarity of each species from summer to winter revealed that feeding method was the least …


Use Of Recreation Opportunity Planning To Inventory Arid Lands In Eastern Oregon - A Demonstration, Michael J. Manfredo, Perry J. Brown Jan 1981

Use Of Recreation Opportunity Planning To Inventory Arid Lands In Eastern Oregon - A Demonstration, Michael J. Manfredo, Perry J. Brown

This paper reports on the use of computer and hand dravn techniques for Implementing the Recreation Opportunity Planning inventory and analysis phases for the Steens Mountain Recreation Lands. Techniques were compared for land classifications and time and monetary costs. Results show computer mapping less likely to result in classification errors, but more costly to conduct.


Use Of The Recreation Opportunity Planning System To Inventory Recreation Opportunities Of Arid Lands, Perry J. Brown, B. L. Driver, Joseph K. Berry Jan 1981

Use Of The Recreation Opportunity Planning System To Inventory Recreation Opportunities Of Arid Lands, Perry J. Brown, B. L. Driver, Joseph K. Berry

Forest Management Faculty Publications

Recreation opportunity planning, which is being adopted by some land management agencies for recreation input to land management planning, is reviewed for Its applicability to arid land situations* Particular attention is given to the Inventory and analysis phases of the system and to what we have learned about its Implementation during its development.


Larval Specialization And Phenotypic Variation In Arctopsyche-Grandis (Trichoptera, Hydropsychidae), F. Richard Hauer, Jack Arthur Stanford Jan 1981

Larval Specialization And Phenotypic Variation In Arctopsyche-Grandis (Trichoptera, Hydropsychidae), F. Richard Hauer, Jack Arthur Stanford

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Life history, trophic dynamics, abundance, and microdistribution of Arctopsyche grandis (Banks) were investigated in the Flathead River Basin, Montana. Two morphologically and ecological distinct larvae (Type I, with a head stripe and Type II, without a head stripe) were found throughout the drainage except in lower order streams. Type II larvae grew more rapidly and attained a larger size in final instar than Type I larvae. In areas where A. grandis biomass was greatest, Type I larvae were >10 times as abundant as Type II larvae. Type II larvae selected microhabitats characterized by larger interstitial spaces; Type I larvae were …
