Bureau of Biological Survey Field Reports and Maps ---
Collection — Multiple Containers
Identifier: NWRC 0030
Abstract
The predecessor of the Bureau of Biological Survey (BBS) was established under the Department of Agriculture in 1885 to study the economic relation of birds to agriculture. The mission of the division evolved over the years to include the study of mammals, as well as to include predator and rodent control activities. In 1905, the division became known as the Bureau of Biological Survey. In 1940, the Bureau of Fisheries merged with the BBS to form the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under...

Electronics Unit Records --
Collection
Identifier: NWRC 0032
Scope and Contents
The Electronics Unit played a pivotal role in NWRC’s wildlife research history. Since the 1960s, biologists at the Center have utilized telemetry equipment to gather information about wildlife migration, behavior, physiological processes, and mortality. In conjunction with researchers, the Electronics Unit designed innovative and unique electronic devices and developed transmitters that were more reliable, longer lasting, and farther reaching than the equipment commercially available at...

Mammal Damage Unit Records --
Collection
Identifier: NWRC 0034
Abstract
Over the years, the Mammal Damage Unit of the DWRC/NWRC conducted research on coyote predation on livestock; rodent damage to crops, rangeland, and buried cables; and damage to timber production and reforestation efforts caused by deer, bear, and rodents, particularly pocket gophers. The Unit also studied the use of pesticides as well as methods to identify and develop non-lethal or non-chemical alternative management methods for specific wildlife problems.

Olympia Field Station Records--
Collection
Identifier: NWRC 0038
Abstract
The Olympia Field Station was established in the late 1950s in cooperation with public agencies and private companies concerned with reforestation losses caused by wildlife. The Olympia, WA, Field Station and its satellite, the Bend, OR, Field Station (established in 1970), formed the Forest-Animal Research Project of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and after 1985, of the USDA’s APHIS Animal Damage Control program. Initial studies focused on seed coatings and repellents to reduce losses...
