1. [Article] Managing wildlife habitats in forested ecosystems
Published March 1996. Reprinted August 2006. Please look for up-to-date information in the OSU Extension Catalog: http://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalogCitation -
2. [Article] Butterfly and flower community composition among prairie-oak ecosystem habitats in the Willamette Valley, Oregon
Prairie-oak ecosystems in the Willamette Valley, Oregon have experienced habitat loss and degradation; most of these ecosystems are fragmented into smaller patches. Prairie-oak butterfly species, in the ...Citation -
A growing body of work reveals that animal-mediated pollination is negatively affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Landscape-scale disturbance results in two often inter-related processes: (1) habitat ...

4. [Article] Movement and space use by the green hermit (Phaethornis guy) in a fragmented landscape in Costa Rica
Human activities have altered Earth’s ecosystems. Most biomes have experienced a 20-50% conversion to human use. Loss of habitat has obvious effects on the persistence of species. Fragmentation, however, ...Citation -
5. [Article] Interactions between ecosystem nitrogen and bedrock control long-term calcium sources in Oregon Coast Range forests
Ecosystem nitrogen (N) supply strongly influences the availability and cycling of other essential nutrients in temperate forests, especially calcium (Ca). Short-term additions of N that exceed ecosystem ...Citation -
6. [Article] Predicting global change effects on forest biomass and composition in south-central Siberia
Multiple global changes such as timber harvesting in areas not previously disturbed by cutting and climate change will undoubtedly affect the composition and spatial distribution of boreal forests, which ...Citation -
7. [Article] Managing for Ecosystem Services through Governance Networks: An Analysis of Oregon Senate Bill 513

8. [Article] The Rise of the Mesopredator
Apex predators have experienced catastrophic declines throughout the world as a result of human persecution and habitat loss. These collapses in top predator populations are commonly associated with dramatic ...Citation -
9. [Article] Community profiles of ammonia oxidizers across high-elevation forest-to-meadow transects
In recent years considerable interest has been shown in the diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in soil communities. The majority of the research has been carried out in Northern Europe where soils ...Citation -

11. [Article] Range-wide abundance and fluctuating asymmetry patterns of sagebrush-obligate passerine birds
North American sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) ecosystems are suffering from reductions in habitat extent and quality. Only about 50% of sagebrush remains from pre-settlement conditions, and much of the remaining ...Citation -
12. [Article] Soil community dynamics in sagebrush and cheatgrass-invaded ecosystems of the northern Great Basin
Sagebrush steppe ecosystems in the Great Basin have become increasingly threatened by the proliferation of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.), an invasive annual grass. Diverse sagebrush and perennial bunchgrass ...Citation -
Soils representative of several landscape units in the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Western Cascade Range, were sampled, analyzed, and tentatively classified. Genetic inferences were drawn relating ...

15. [Article] Towards a cohesive, holistic view of top predation: a definition, synthesis and perspective
This is an author's peer-reviewed final manuscript, as accepted by the publisher. The published article is copyrighted by the Authors and the Nordic Society Oikos. It is published by John Wiley & Sons, ...Citation -
The role of insect herbivores in the nutrient cycling dynamics of forest ecosystems remains poorly understood. Although past research in herbivory has focused primarily on the deleterious effects that ...

17. [Article] Green Roofs and Urban Biodiversity: Their Role as Invertebrate Habitat and the Effect of Design on Beetle Community
With over half the world's population now living in cities, urban areas represent one of earth's few ecosystems that are increasing in extent, and are sites of altered biogeochemical cycles, habitat fragmentation, ...Citation -
This dissertation consists of three essays that collectively address the importance of accounting for spatial heterogeneity and spatial dependence of environmental assets and natural resources in policy ...
