| Notes | “During 1988-1989, stream habitat variables were compared between beaver-dam sites and noccupied-stream sites to identify variables that may have been important for beaver (Castor canadensis) in selecting dam sites in the streams of the Drift Creek basin, Lincoln County, Oregon.” (from the Abstract) In addition to examining the habitat preferences of beavers, the author takes an interesting look at habitat preferences for small mammals and amphibians in Oregon’s Coast Range, and how beaver activity intersects with these preferences. Nice capsule descriptions of various species. Major professor was William C. McComb. |
