| Notes | The author compared species composition and relative abundance of small mammals and amphibians in different riparian and upslope habitats, mostly in the Alsea Basin. This is a look at animals such as shrews, voles, moles, mice, salamanders and frogs in the watershed. “The results suggested that small (second- third- and fourth-order) riparian systems and adjacent upslope areas may provide important habitat to some small mammals and herpetofauna on the Oregon Coast Ranges. It is vital that these systems be considered in management plans which include the protection of at least some of these areas from timber harvest.” (from the Abstract) Masters thesis. Major professor was Robert G. Anthony. |
