Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.

We know very little about the impacts of harvest on populations of epiphytic plants, the species that depend on them on the canopy, and their ecosystems. The impacts of orchid collecting depend on the life history of the species, the type of collecting being conducted, and socioeconomic factors surrounding communities. In this dissertation, I detail the population biology, structure, and dynamics of populations for orchid species. In addition, I assess the cultural and socioeconomic patterns that influence harvest in order to fill knowledge gaps on tropical orchid species as well as to provide accurate metrics for the development of sustainable management plans in areas where overharvest is likely to occur. I documented the cultural and socioeconomic patterns of epiphyte use and trade in a market setting. Market studies can provide information of what is happening over a wide range of environments across long distances offering valuable information for conservation. I documented 19 species being sold in the market and a high volume of orchids being traded. There was a clear seasonal trend for orchid sales with two seasons identified. There was a strong cultural component to harvest with plants being part of major cultural and religious celebrations. I also documented that different orchid species are harvested using different methods. The type of harvest that was documented here offers valuable information on what is happening in the natural populations. In the demographic study, the projected population growth rate (λ) for P. karwinskii differed among the three study populations and this is likely due to differences in harvest pressure. Populations of P. karwinskii that experience high-medium harvest pressures are declining and are expected to continue to decline if circumstances do not change. By contrast, the population that has the lowest harvest pressure is projected to continue to grow slowly over the long term (λ is significantly greater than 1). My results suggest that sustainable harvest can be possible if less than 30% of flowering pseudobulbs are harvested per year from large adult plants in a population. However, this assumes harvest from only the adult plants (the largest pseudobulb > 19 cm) and not from any of the smaller sizes, even if they flower. A ban on orchid harvest on the national level has clearly not stopped the harvest of wild orchid species. The high volume of orchids traded combined with the available literature on orchid demography related to harvest suggests that harvest at those levels documented here is not likely sustainable. However, results suggest that lower levels may be sustainable, and that this could be achieved if communities had rights to harvest and therefore an investment in the future. Wild orchid harvest could be complemented with propagation as seen in bromeliads. In addition, a change of climate, land-use, or other factors should also be taken into consideration when applying these results to management in the future.

▼ Large mammalian carnivores have experienced significant contractions in population sizes and geographical ranges. The conservation of large carnivores is crucially important, particularly due to their vulnerability to extinction and their functional significance and ability to structure ecosystems. Due to an expanding human footprint, large carnivores are increasingly subject to modified and spatially constrained habitats. A growing debate exists as to how to conserve and coexist with large carnivores in an anthropogenically induced environment. Reintroduction, as a conservation tool to restore locally extirpated large carnivores to portions of their former ranges is increasingly being applied. However, in South Africa, habitat to support large carnivores remain small and non-contiguous. Food is a fundamental ecological requirement to sustain reintroduced large carnivores. Therefore, an understanding of large predator foraging patterns can be informative in the context of how the predator species influences and utilises a novel ecosystem. We investigated the foraging behaviour of reintroduced African wild dog (Lycaon pictus) at five small protected areas in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Wild dog utilised 16 prey species, albeit they primarily used nyala (Tragelaphus angasii) and impala (Aepyceros melampus) which collectively form 75 % of their diet. Only nyala was significantly preferred, suggesting that this prey species is used in greater proportion to their abundance. As wild dogs are social cooperative hunters, we tested whether wild dog pack size was correlated to prey mass selection. There was no evidence to suggest that larger packs use larger prey. However, the mean wild dog pack size in our sample sites, was relatively smaller than those encountered elsewhere. Furthermore, wild dog have been shown to modify their hunting behaviour in the presence of wildlife-proof fencing, by using fences to aid in the capture of larger prey species than would innately occur. We compared the prey mass of wild dog kills in relation to proximity of these hard boundaries. Despite the affinity towards kills occurring within 200 m of fences, the upward bias caused by fences on prey mass selection was inconsistent across sample sites. The relatively small size of wild dogs makes them particularly vulnerable to competition. As the energetic output of wild dog is high, interspecific competition can increase foraging costs. The reintroduction of large carnivores to small artificially induced systems may be a contentious issue as resources available to support large carnivores are expected to be relatively more finite. We compared both the potential inter- and intraspecific dietary niche dimensions of an intact large carnivore guild in context of a wild dog reintroduction. We determined cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), leopard (Panthera pardus), and lion (Panthera leo) prey composition, diet breadth, overlap, prey preference and predicted the density of an intact large carnivore guild in a novel landscape. Further, we compared the foraging…

▼ The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) maintains a growing number of feral horses on public rangelands. With population growth rates as high as 22% annually, herds are exceeding their carrying capacity and millions of dollars are spent maintaining captured horses in holding facilities awaiting adoption. To manage the feral horse population, the BLM is seeking a contraceptive that is safe, can be remotely delivered, requires only a single administration and is effective for several years. Contraceptive strategies have been developed for feral horses that include hormone implants, chemical intrauterine devices, and immunocontraception. Porcine zona pellucida (pZP) immunocontraceptive vaccines have shown great potential for providing safe, long-term contraception in feral horses. ImmunoVaccine Technologies (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada) has developed a liposome encapsulated pZP formulation known as SpayVac™ (SpayVac), which after a single-dose provides multi-year contraceptive efficacy. In a continued effort to optimize the acceptability and efficacy of SpayVac, ImmunoVaccine Technologies developed alternative adjuvant preparations using either killed Mycobacterium butyricum (Modified Freund's Adjuvant; MFA) or a proprietary non-Mycobacterium based adjuvant (IVT) that are proposed to have less of the undesirable side-effects associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate SpayVac in different adjuvant formulations for efficacy of contraception as measured by pZP titers and estrous cyclicity in treated mares. Domestic mares (n=28) were randomly assigned to four treatments (7 mares per treatment): adjuvant alone or saline (Control) or SpayVac vaccines in one of three adjuvant preparations: IVT or MFA in either an aqueous (MFA aq) or non-aqueous (MFA non-aq) suspension. Pre-immune blood samples were collected from each mare and mares were injected in the neck with a single injection of the Control or SpayVac. Subsequent blood samples were collected at weekly intervals for 26 weeks. Sera were analyzed for pZP titers and progesterone using ELISA. At the conclusion of the study, ovaries were recovered by ovariectomy (16 mares) or at necropsy (12 mares) for histologic analysis and collection of morphometric data and oocytes. Titers for pZP were greater (P<0.05) in IVT and MFA mares compared to Control mares and for MFA compared to IVT mares. Mares vaccinated with MFA aq had greater (P<0.05) pZP titers at 2 weeks post-injection compared to mares injected with IVT or MFA non-aq and at 3 weeks post-injection compared to mares injected with IVT. MFA non-aq mares had greater (P<0.05) pZP titers at 6 weeks post-injection compared to IVT mares and, although not significantly different, titers in MFA non-aq mares remained greater during weeks 8, 10, 14, 18 and 22 compared to IVT and MFA aq mares. Mean serum progesterone concentrations were greater (P<0.05) in Control compared to MFA non-aq mares.

▼ My dissertation used a multi-disciplinary approach to address the following questions: In the face of global honey bee declines and increasing demands for insect pollination can wild bees ensure adequate pollination? If so, how do we conserve these bees and services? Through pollination experiments in 2010 and bee inventories in 19 central New York orchards in 2011 and 2012, two dominant native bee groups, Andrena subspecies Melandrena and Bombus, were found to be as effective pollinators as honey bees (Apis mellifera L.), per-visit. Pollinator importance across orchards was driven by relative abundance, and was low for native bees compared to honey bees study-wide. The roles of pest management and natural areas surrounding orchards as drivers of wild bee abundance and species richness within 19 surveyed orchards were investigated. Early fungicide and late insecticide applications had strong negative effects on wild bees. Conversely, increasing natural areas in the landscape weakened pesticide effects. Combined increases in chemical inputs and land simplification resulting from agricultural intensification, therefore, pose a risk to wild bees and their pollination services. A holistic approach to balancing costs and benefits of pest management decisions is needed. To inform future wild pollinator conservation and extension to this end, grower perceptions and attitudes of wild pollinators in New York and Pennsylvania were assessed between 2009 and 2012. Growers had high appreciation for wild pollinators, an openness to rely more on naturally occurring bees, and willingness to adopt low-cost, bee-friendly management practices. At the same time, growers reported measurable uncertainty about the effectiveness of alternative pollinators. This uncertainty was the primary obstacle for growers to consider actively managing orchards for wild bees. In sum, wild bees provide important pollination services for the New York apple industry. Wild bee pollination could fill pollination gaps left by declining honey bees, but only where orchards and the surrounding landscape are managed in a manner that supports wild bee abundance. Grower perceptions of wild pollinators are generally positive, but encouraging growers to explicitly integrate wild bees into their pollination strategy requires extension programs that inform growers of wild pollinator efficiencies and provide guidance in implementing pollinator-friendly management practices.

A intensificação da complexidade socioeconómica, amplificada pela globalização, limita a previsibilidade das acções dos agentes económicos, aumentando a incerteza quanto ao futuro. Ao longo dos anos destaca-se a contribuição da análise prospectiva para um processo sistemático de antecipação do que o futuro pode reservar. O exame das forças que impelem a evolução da economia, da tecnologia e de outras dimensões da sociedade permitido pela prospectiva, bem como a construção de uma melhor percepção quanto a oportunidades e ameaças na área da política pública e da gestão empresarial, garantem a esta disciplina uma notoriedade num contexto actual marcado por volatilidade, ambiguidade e incerteza. No seio desta temática mantém-se ainda em desenvolvimento a categoria de mudança extrema e súbita. Os conceitos que visam abordar eventos de baixa probabilidade e alto impacto, de natureza “disruptiva” e com o potencial de redefinir as “regras do jogo”, são ainda recentes e passíveis de aprofundamento. Por exemplo, noções como “wild cards” carecem ainda de definição precisa e perímetro consensual. O presente estudo debruça-se sobre este objecto de estudo, os eventos-ruptura habitualmente descritos como “wild cards”. A abordagem é de “segunda ordem”, isto é, esta dissertação visa o estudo da teorização do conceito de “wild card”. Para esse fim, foi escolhida uma metodologia integrada combinando elementos quantitativos (através de uma análise bibliométrica) e qualitativos (com levantamento de opinião de especialistas inquéritos a especialistas nacionais e internacionais). Na base deste trabalho de revisão de literatura e de contacto com analistas esta dissertação procura construir uma síntese crítica e criativa do estado da arte e especificar um conjunto de características relevantes para a consideração e adaptação face a “wild cards”.

Socio-economic complexity, quickened by technical change, amplified by globalisation, limits the prediction powers of agents’ actions and increases the need to deal with uncertainty about the future. For many years foresight has been positioned has having a central relevance in the present context of turmoil and insecurity, especially when disruptions and trend-breaking events are of the essence. Within the subject-area of foresight, however, the concept of extreme sudden change remains still quite unclear. Wild cards, or “high impact”/“low-probability” events, with the potential to redefine the “rules of the game” are a concept worth revisiting given its novelty in the literature and analytical importance in contemporary volatile environments. This thesis focuses on the role and evolution of the concept of wild card in foresight literature. Our main objective is to provide an account of the state of the art of wild card research. To this end, the methodological approach deployed uses both quantitative data (bibliometric analysis of research papers) and qualitative information (constructivist method based on interviews with experts) as a way of achieving robust insight on what wild cards are as a…

▼ Globally, wild bees are facing major declines due to many different factors. Land use is regarded as one of the most damaging of these factors as changes in land use can result in the destruction of critical wild bee habitat and foraging resources. Relative abundance and species richness have been used as standard methods for measuring the health of wild bee communities yet neither abundance nor richness are able to quantify how landscape change affects the traits found in members of the population. Phylogenetic methods are a novel tool that can measure community structure by examining how traits influence population structure. The focus of this thesis is to uncover how differences in land use, from grazing to successional states in forests, influence a number of aspects wild bee diversity and community structure. Landscape change is one of the main drivers of wild bee declines do to alteration in available nesting and foraging resources. This project analyzed the relative abundance, species richness, and the phylogenetic diversity of six landscapes. We found that grazed areas had significantly lower levels of abundance and richness, but it did not alter the phylogenetic diversity of wild bee communities found at grazed sites. Nesting traits were major drivers of the community composition for wild bees found at grazed sites. Landscapes that exhibited lower management intensities and no grazing supported higher bee abundance and richness due to more available nesting substrates and increased foraging densities. Lastly, we found numerous indicator species that can be used for environmental monitoring. Forest margins offer valuable resources for wild bees in the form of additional nesting substrates and valuable forage, yet only early successional states and mosaic forested landscapes may support diverse bee communities. Our study found that canopy cover, a sign of later successional states in forested landscapes, reduces wild bee abundance and richness. Disturbances within forests were favored by wild bees, as these sites offered warmer climates and more nesting and foraging resources. Additionally, bees were found to distribute themselves close to or further away from forest margins based on their nesting traits. This research revealed that alterations in landscape has major impacts on the composition of wild bee communities. Certain land use types influence specific functional traits and thus have more influence over how wild bee communities comprise themselves. Grazing was found to be a major negative driving force for wild bees while landscapes that contained a more heterogeneous structure supported a more diverse bee community. This thesis emphasizes the need for heterogeneous landscapes due to their importance in providing much needed… Advisors/Committee Members: Sandra M Rehan, Donald S Chandler, James F Haney.

peer-reviewed

Declines in wild bees have been reported internationally and attributed to habitat loss associated with agriculture. Recent research has led to a better understanding of the responses of bumblebees, especially within mixed, arable or fruit-growing agricultural landscapes. However gaps remain in scientific understanding of the responses of bees, particularly of solitary bees, to agricultural intensification in pastoral landscapes. In general, studies of bee declines have focussed on measures such as total abundance, species richness and diversity indices and there is a need for studies of changes in assemblages’ species composition in order to identify resilient and vulnerable species. The aim of this study is to examine the responses of solitary bees and bumblebees to grassland intensification in lowland, pastoral landscapes. The study identifies factors that influence wild bee diversity, abundance and assemblage composition. The relative importance of landscape composition; agricultural management (considered at the field, farm and landscape level); habitat structure and quality and more immutable environmental conditions such as latitude and longitude, altitude and edaphic factors on bee responses are studied. Based on differences in foraging distances and social behaviour, it is likely that solitary bees and bumblebees respond to anthropogenic change occurring at different scales. This hypothesis is tested. A field survey of bees across fifty agricultural sites, together with a survey of the environmental conditions at these sites was undertaken. Correlations were investigated using Mantel’s tests and Mantel correlograms, Procrustean rotations and indirect gradient analyses with ordinations. The relative importance of environmental variables was evaluated using a combination of methods. The variance in species composition of bee assemblages was decomposed between environmental predictors using distance-based Redundancy Analysis (RDA). Bayesian and Information theoretic methods were used to evaluate the relative importance of predictors of bee diversity and abundance. The abundance and species richness of bees in pastoral landscapes in Ireland are impacted by intensifying grassland management, with solitary bees showing a response to intensification at the field scale and bumblebees to intensification at the landscape scale. A shift in bee assemblage composition from assemblages dominated by diverse solitary bees to assemblages dominated by a few common bumblebees and a small number of solitary bee species was observed as field management became more intense. This gradient was also associated with a calcicole-calcifuge vegetation gradient and it is not possible to distinguish between the effects of the two factors on bee assemblage. Solitary bees showed greater sensitivity to site management than bumblebees, possibly due to previous local extinctions of more sensitive bumblebee species from the majority of farm sites. A model of extinction order from wild…

▼ Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) are large galliform birds, are commonly hunted birds, and they are non-migratory. Wild turkeys were originally found over most of the United States. In the early 1900s they experienced widespread population declines which are thought to have been caused by overhunting and habitat loss. Due to many reintroduction efforts, the wild turkey is now found in its historical range and it has expanded its range even further. However, considering the popularity of wild turkeys as game birds, relatively few studies have addressed their parasites, and specifically the helminth parasites. Island Biogeography Theory has been applied to parasite and host relationships in which the host is considered an island. In particular, the Island Size hypothesis predicts that a larger island will allow for greater species diversity due to the increased area, and by extension, larger host species, in terms of body mass, will have more species of parasites. This study evaluates whether or not galliform birds support the Island Size Hypothesis in terms of their parasite communities. Birds in the order Galliformes have a wide range of sizes and are generally non-migratory; thus they will not pick up parasites from different locations. I reviewed twenty six studies of 19 species of galliform birds and recorded the number of helminth species reported in each host bird species. Based on these data, I show that there is a positive correlation (R2 = 0.212) between galliform host size and number of helminth parasite species. The model that best fits the data includes both the mean mass of the host species as well as the family of the host species. This is the first survey of helminth parasites in wild turkeys of Colorado. I collected 24 wild turkey intestines that were donated by hunters. These intestines were examined for helminth parasites, which were collected and identified. A total of 7 different species of helminth parasites were identified in these Colorado wild turkeys. Cestodes were the most commonly identified helminths, followed by acanthocephalans, trematodes, and nematodes. The Colorado data were then compared to a previous study of the helminths of wild turkeys in both Florida and New Zealand. A total of 14 helminth parasite species were reported from wild turkeys in Florida while 6 helminth species were reported in wild turkeys from New Zealand. These data suggest that there are differences in these parasite communities in terms of parasite species richness and prevalence of each helminth species. The fact that wild turkeys are not only a popular game bird, but also a common component of domestic poultry operations underscored the importance of understanding their parasites. This knowledge can help us to harvest wild turkeys safely when hunting as well as minimize the transfer of parasites between domestic and wild turkeys.

▼ Wild boars are reported as carriers of several zoonotic agents. The aims of this thesis was to investigate the presence of the foodborne enteropathogens Salmonella spp., Yersinia (Y.) spp. and E. coli O157:H7 in Swedish wild boars, the influence of potential risk factors presumably associated with their occurrence, the presence of Yersinia spp. and Salmonella spp. in minced meat, and to establish a method for molecular epidemiological studies (MLVA). The thesis includes studies on lymphatic tissue and faeces from 178 wild boars and 32 samples of wild-boar minced meat. MLVA was evaluated on 254 isolates of Y. enterocolitica from several sources. Further, the wild boar populations were characterized with respect to four factors that possibly may be associated with the presence of enteropathogens in the wild boar. A PCR-based protocol for the detection of enteropathogenic Yersinia spp. and Salmonella spp. was developed and evaluated. The protocol offered the possibility to obtain molecular epidemiological data of Yersinia spp. by MLVA on enrichment broths. In total, 91 (51.1%) of the sampled wild boars carried the enteropathogens investigated and 46, 37 and 32 animals were PCR-positive for the presence of Y. enterocolitica, Y. pseudotuberculosis, and Salmonella spp., respectively. The subsequent cultivation yielded a total of 28 isolates of Salmonella spp., 10 isolates of Y. enterocolitica and 13 isolates of Y. pseudotuberculosis. None of the investigated risk factors were associated with the presence of these enteropathogens. However, a strong association between high levels of artificial feeding and high population densities was seen and the practice of leaving slaughter waste out in nature was found to be common among the hunters. In the new protocol, a positive selection for motile bacteria was used and seemed favourable in the detection of Y. enterocolitica and Salmonella spp. but not in the detection of Y. pseudotuberculosis. Further, MLVA performed directly on the enrichment broth seemed promising. MLVA on the isolates demonstrated a close resemblance between two human isolates and those obtained from domestic pigs whereas one rodent isolate was identical to that from pigs in the same farm. In conclusion, human enteropathogens are present in a majority of the Swedish wild boars which may be of concern for the public health. The findings warrants further surveillance on the enteropathogens present and the new protocol presented within this thesis may be useful to obtain molecular epidemiological data for future reference in e.g. outbreak investigations.

▼ In 1971 Congress enacted Public Law 92-195, known as the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act, as a result of public concerns about wild horse abuse and population declines. As a consequence, the Wild Horse and Burro program was created to manage these animals under the administration of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In recent years as more wild horses have gone into long-term holding facilities, the costs of the program have increased to levels that are not likely to be politically sustainable. Two aspects of the Wild Horse and Burro program are analyzed in this thesis. First, the BLM's decisions regarding when to conduct a gather of excess animals and how many animals to remove are studied. A political economy analysis is developed to estimate the effects of interest groups on these decisions. Second, this thesis analyzes the relevance of horse characteristics in determining both the likelihood of a wild horse being disposed of and the price paid by adopters and buyers. To estimate the marginal value for each wild horse characteristic a hedonic price regression is estimated. The hedonic regression results are then used to estimate the benefits and costs of various modifications in the BLM's disposal program. The results obtained from the political economy analysis suggest that the decisions made by the BLM with respect to the removal of excess animals are responsive to the interests of grazing holders. The greater the level of overlap between grazing allotments and a herd management area, the higher the likelihood of the BLM conducting a gather and the more animals will be removed in a given year. The results obtained from the hedonic pricing model show that characteristics such as sex, color, training, and age are statistically significant in explaining the variation observed in fees paid by adopters and buyers. In addition, it is found that reductions in the standard minimum adoption fee would increase the number of wild horses the BLM is able to dispose of to private parties, and would save the taxpayers substantial sums by reducing the costs of keeping wild horses in long-term holding.

▼ This collection of papers comprises four sections. The first section deals with the helminth and arthropod parasites recovered from a variety of mammalian hosts, and consists of four chapters. The first chapter deals with the taxonomy of the parasites of mammalian hosts, where some 15 nematode species were either newly described, redescribed or descriptions amended, and the immature stages of an oestrid fly and the adults of two hippoboscid flies described. The second describes the seasonal occurrence of arthropod and helminth parasites recovered from approximately 1 380 antelope, scrub hares, warthogs and bushpigs. In the third chapter some miscellaneous natural and experimental findings of helminths in free-living hosts are presented, amongst others several new host-parasite associations and the proceedings of symposia, while the fourth chapter deals with the pathology of natural infections of impalas with Cooperiodes hepaticae, kudus with Elaeophora sagitta and buffaloes with Parafilaria bassoni. The second section deals with the parasites of freshwater fishes. In the taxonomic part of this section, Chapter 1, one trematode genus is redescribed, and one new trematode species and 14 new nematode species described. In the second chapter, the seasonal occurrence of the helminth parasites of approximately 700 freshwater fish representing 14 species is presented. The third part deals with the helminths of lizards, snakes and crocodiles, where a new Paraspirura species, a new Madathamugadia species and some 14 new species, subspecies and forms of subspecies of the oxyurid genera Spauligodon, Skrjabinodon, Thelandros and Tachygonetria were described. A comprehensive host-parasite list of snakes and lizards is included, as is an equally comprehensive host-parasite list of the pentastome parasites of crocodiles. In the fourth part, two new Tetrameres species are described and the population dynamics of guineafowls and Swainson’s spurfowl discussed. A complete list of the helminth parasites of guineafowls is listed, together with an extended host list of these parasites. Advisors/Committee Members: Prof J D F Boomker (advisor).

▼ In this research, blood samples and ticks from wild game animals from nine different research areas in the Netherlands were examined on the presence of several pathogen groups. The goal of this research is to map the Dutch tick population and the pathogens that they carry with them and also to investigate whether wild game animals fulfil a reservoir function for tickbound diseases. 255 ticks, of which 17 came from a fallow-deer and 238 came from roe deer, were sent to the UCTD by hunters from nine different areas. Furthermore, 68 blood samples, of which one came from a fallow-deer and 67 came from roe deer, were sent. The species, gender and stadia of the ticks were first determined. Next, DNA was extracted from the blood samples and the ticks. The DNA was examined by PCR and RLB for the presence of several pathogen groups. The following pathogens were particularly searched for: Babesia/Theileria, Bartonella, Borrelia, Ehrlichia/Anaplasma, Rickettsia and Nicolleia. The results showed that all the ticks that were used in this research belonged to the species Ixodes ricinus. 7 out of 255 ticks were nymphs, 41 ticks were male adults and 207 ticks were female adults. DNA was only extracted from adult ticks. Results that were obtained from the RLB show the following rates of infection in ticks: Babesia/Theileria: 9,1% (B. catch-all, B. divergens, B. venatorum, B. canis-2), Bartonella: 19,5% (B. catch-all, B. schoenbuchensis), Borrelia: 0%, Ehrlichia/Anaplasma: 25,5% (E/A catch-all, E. canis/ovina, E. schotti, A. marginale, A. phagocytophilum), Rickettsia: 52,8% (R. catch-all, R. helvetica, R. massilae, R. conorii, R sp. (DnS14/raoultii), Nicolleia: 21,6% (N. catch-all). In the blood samples from roe deer, the following pathogens were found. Babesia/Theileria: 70,1% (B. catch-all, B. divergens, B. venatorum), Bartonella: 64,2% (B. catch-all, B. schoenbuchensis), Ehrlichia/Anaplasma: 22,4% (E/A catch-all, A. marginale, A. phagocytophilum), Rickettsia: 10,4% (R. catch-all, R. helvetica, R. massilae), Nicolleia: 1,5% (N. catch-all). Roe deer seem to fulfil a reservoir role for these pathogens. In the blood sample from the fallow deer, no pathogens were found. The transmission of Babesia/Theileria from host to ticks seems to be inefficient. Borellia wasn’t found in blood or in ticks. Antibodies might play a role here. Different tick populations can show a variable susceptibility for Borrelia species. Therefore, vector competence can differ within one tick species. Rickettsia, Ehrlichia/Anaplasma, Bartonella en Nicolleia were commonly found in blood samples as well as in ticks. The transmission from host to tick and vice versa seems to be efficient. Conclusions cannot be made regarding results of autopsy by pathological examination. Advisors/Committee Members: Jongejan, Prof. Dr. F., Kik, Dr. M.J.L..

▼ Wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) ecology has been examined within its native range, but knowledge of extralimital populations of Rio Grande wild turkeys (M. g. intermedia) is lacking. I investigated habitat use, characteristics of activity sites, home ranges and movements, productivity, and survival of Rio Grande turkey hens from 1989 through 1991. I obtained >6,000 locations of 76 radio-tagged hens in Douglas County, Oregon and quantified characteristics of 99 roosts, 126 nests, and 64 brood-rearing sites. Turkeys selectively used meadows and hardwood/conifer cover types during winter and summer (P < 0.05). Adult hens roosted in dense young conifer stands more often than expected throughout the year; hardwood/conifer woodlands were used more than expected for roosting by all flocks (P < 0.05). Hens nested in 8 of 10 cover types; recent clearcuts were used more than expected (P < 0.05). Use of meadows and hardwood/conifer habitats by brood hens exceeded availability (P < 0.05). Dense sapling/pole and mature conifer stands were used less than expected at all times (P < 0.05). Adults roosted in Douglas firs (Pseudotsuga menziesii) more than expected (P < 0.05), but hen-poult flocks roosted in tree species in proportion to availability (P > 0.50). Nest sites were characterized by relatively dense understory, but no relationship was observed between nest success and vegetation characteristics. Brood-rearing sites had sparse horizontal screening and moderate vegetative cover. The overall nesting rate was 97% and renesting accounted for 17% of poults hatched. In contrast to other populations, renesting after brood loss was common among adult hens. Annual survival rates varied among years (0.50 to 0.89) but did not differ between adults and yearlings (P > 0.17). Prescribed burning to reduce dense shrub cover should improve stands for nesting and brood rearing. Maintaining or increasing areas of mixed hardwood/conifer cover types would ensure availability of habitat for brood rearing, roosting, and year-round use. My research indicated that Rio Grande turkeys were more adaptable and productive than Merriam's wild turkeys (M. g. merriami) in Oregon. High nest success in several cover types and use of several cover types for brood rearing and roosting indicated that Rio Grande turkeys would thrive under a variety of habitat conditions.
