Evaluating Flora and Avian Diversity in the Dalles Project for Special Status Species Protection

Project ID: W912HZ-18-2-0015 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $40,000 Total Funding: $40,000 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: We will complete a comprehensive inventory and evaluation of the flora and avian biota, together with a delineation of the ecological communities, across the Dalles Project area (referred to as Project lands hereafter) as defined by the Army Corps of Engineers. Our study…


Pollinator Studies, Willamette Valley, OR

Project ID: W912HZ-19-2-0008 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $56,978 Total Funding: $201,970 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Conservation of endangered plants may rely on successful habitat management that includes protection of pollinators. Plants that rely on pollinators for sexual reproduction through seeds must have adequate pollinator populations available. Understanding the relationship between plants and pollinators may be key to long…


Pollinator Studies: Willamette Valley, OR

Project ID: W912HZ-19-2-0009 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $55,995 Total Funding: $112,906 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Interactions with pollinators can be important drivers of reproductive success for rare and endangered plant species. Worldwide, the vast majority of land plants require an animal (usually an insect) to transfer pollen in order to reproduce (Ollerton et al. 2011). Studies measuring pollinator…


Investigation of fish passage alternatives for the Willamette Valley Project with focus on the Middle Fork Willamette River

Project ID: W912HZ-19-2-0022 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $98,978 Total Funding: $990,997 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: MANAGEMENT PURPOSE: Estimate and compare the potential biological performance of fish passage alternatives for upstream and downstream fish passage at the Lookout and Dexter dam complex. Information will be used to determine the biological feasibility and preferred fish passage approaches to be carried…

Project ID: W912HZ-19-2-0026 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $149,300 Total Funding: $446,533 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: Portland State University (PSU) will support the work sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District to provide water quality modeling support for Columbia and Snake River System under the Columbia River System Operations (CRSO) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Two primary…


Development of Genomics and Behavioral Assays for Understanding Neurotoxicity of Chemicals and Effects on Performance

Project ID: W912HZ-19-2-0042 [project-data-part-1] Initial Funding: $69,998 Total Funding: $209,998 [project-data-part-2] Abstract: The goal of this project is to link chemical exposure to behavioral outcomes that are suitable for modeling hazard assessment. Exposure to xenobiotic chemicals can exert neurotoxicity. There is an increasing pressure to reduce the use of animals in toxicity testing. To accomplish…
