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.
