Population Dynamics of Herbivorous Insects on Young-growth Douglas-fir

Purpose

Shoots to be collected during the growing season from 25 orange-flagged trees along a transect at each site. Arthropods are being identified and counted. Regressions of foliage biomass to stem diameter are being used to estimate arthropod population siz

Patch Dynamics Study

Purpose

The study will be looking at rates of vegetation closure through the years using aerial photographs. The sites will be used to gather some simple measures of opening size, current canopy size, and age of dominant perimeter trees.

The effects of juvenile cutthroat trout on survival, growth, and behaviors of Pacific giant salamander larvae and factors contributing to their coexistence in small streams

Purpose

Two aspects of behavioral interactions between cutthroat trout and Pacific giant salamander larvae will be investigated in artificial pools placed in the stream channel. The first experiment will test palatability of salamanders to trout. Ind. Trout wil
