  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Starkey Project : history facilities, and data collection methods for ungulate research Author: Thomas, Jack Ward, Johnson, Bruce K., Rowland, Mary M., Noyes, James H., Bryant, Larry D., Wisdom, Michael J. In the 1980s, resource managers were increasingly concerned about effects of timber harvest on ungulates in National Forests. Land and resource management plans incorporated restrictions on timber harvest to maintain cover for Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni V. Bailey) and mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus Rafinesque), and habitat models were used to predict effectiveness of various habitat components for these ungulates. Many of the assumptions of which these models were based were untested, however. The Starkey Project, in northeastern Oregon, was begun to address some of these issues through manipulative experiments in a landscape representative of inland National Forests in the West. A 25,000-acre (10 125-ha) area was surrounded with game-proof fencing to support studies on elk, mule deer, and cattle (Bos taurus). A newly developed telemetry system, using loran-C (long rangenavigation-C) signals, tracks distribution of the three species in relation to common land management activities and habitat variables. Four primary research projects are under way; animal-unit equivalencies, intensive timber management, effects of roads and traffic, and breeding efficiency of bull elk.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Biological assessment of the effects of national forest land and resource management plans and Bureau of Land Management land use plans on Canada lynx Author: Rupe, John, Hickenbottom, J. Randal, Prevedel, David, Halekas, George, Hilliard, Mark, Summerfield, Bob, Aradahl, Jeff, Jackson, Lynn This biological assessment (BA) documents the potential effects of existing Forest Service (FS) Land and Resource Management Plans (LRMPs), or 'Forest Plans' and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Land Use Plans (LUPs) on the Canada Lynx (Lynx canadensis), hereafter referred to as the lynx. LRMPs and LUPs are collectively referred to as 'Plans' in this document. In a Federal Register notice on July 8, 1998, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) proposed a distinct population segment of the lynx within 16 states to be listed as threatened (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 1998a). This BA evaluates 57 LRMPs and 56 LUPs in 13 of these states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Status of Oregon's Bull Trout. Distribution, Life History, Limiting Factors, Management Considerations, and Status Author: Hooton, Robert M., Buchanan, David V., Hanson, Mary L., Oregon. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife The purpose of this document is to summarize the best scientific information presently available for bull trout (Salvelimus confluentus) throughout Oregon and to review their historical and current status. What started out as a relatively simple exercise to review and update the status report by Ratliff and Howell (1992) based on recent data collection efforts, soon mushroomed into a more comprehensive treatment of all available data on bull trout populations in Oregon, Thus the foundation laid in Ratliff and Howell (1992) has been expanded for that section of the bull trout's range that includes Oregon. A draft of this document received extensive review and additions from professionals within Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, Oregon Chapter of The American Fisheries Society, Portland General Electric Company, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Plum Creek Timber Company, Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, Idaho, Department of Fish and Game, ,and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. One of the reviewers wanted to see 'more objective and numerical rating criteria' used to assess status. The authors agree that this is a useful 'next' step and that work should begin on developing the necessary quantitative criteria to evaluate status. Title: Status of Oregon's Bull Trout.
