Combining Disparate Data Sources with Ecosystem and Integrated Models: Case Studies for Improving Management of Protected Species

Creator:: Chasco, Brandon E.
Abstract:: Globally, the number of threatened species is increasing and conserving them is a high priority to the scientific community. Assessing the status of these protected species is challenging due to missing, contested, and or contradictory data streams. Integrated models (IMs) provide a statistical framework for combining disparate data sources to...

A critical analysis of wildlife conservation in Oregon

Creator:: Rymon, Larry Maring
Abstract:: This analysis is the study of Oregon's wildlife resources from the period prior to white settlement up to the present time, including critical projections, based on present trends and expected conditions for both human and wildlife populations in the state up to the year 2010. Prior to white settlement Oregon...

Development and Application of Voxelized Dosimetric Models for Biota : Characterization of the Uncertainty in the International Commission on Radiological Protection's Wildlife Dosimetry System

Creator:: Caffrey, Emily Amanda
Abstract:: A system for radiological dosimetry for nonhuman biota developed by International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) relies on calculations that utilize the Monte Carlo simulations of simple, ellipsoidal geometries with internal radioactivity distributed homogeneously throughout. In this manner it is quick and easy to estimate whole-body dose rates to biota....

Computer simulation of a biomanagement system : the Mendocino County deer population in California

Creator:: Anderson, Frank M.
Abstract:: Management of deer populations is directed toward multiple objectives. Deer populations on public and private lands belong to the public and thus management is a political process. Four components for an effective management system for deer populations are identified. These are the set of objectives relating to the resource, the...

The use of remote sensing for characterizing forests in wildlife habitat modeling

Creator:: Vogeler, Jody C.
Abstract:: Spatially explicit maps of habitat relationships have proven to be valuable tools for conservation and management applications including evaluating how and which species may be impacted by large scale climate change, ongoing fragmentation of habitat, and local land-use practices. Studies have turned to remote sensing datasets as a way to...

A new estimator of effective area surveyed in wildlife studies

Creator:: Wildman, Valerie Jean
Abstract:: A new estimator of effective area surveyed is proposed for use in estimating population sizes or densities. The estimator is based on the cumulative distribution function for the observed detection areas and can be used with the data arising from either a line transect or a variable circular plot survey....

The Influence of Wildfire and Invasive Vegetation on Mule Deer

Creator:: Schuyler, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The western United States has experienced large-scale degradation due to land use and land cover changes, invasion of annual grasses, and expansion of woody plants into grass and shrublands and the resultant altered fire regimes. These landscape-scale changes have coincided with declining mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations, making habitat loss...

The Influence of Scale in a Structured Decision Making Framework for Chinook Salmon Management

Creator:: McDonnell, Kevin N.
Abstract:: The goal of my dissertation was to explore how scale influences stream restoration prioritization strategies for an anadromous species and identify influential uncertainties that exist at different scales. My objectives were to (1) produce a comprehensive review of the Chinook salmon management challenges in California’s Central Valley and identify the...

All in a DNA's work : conservation genetics and monitoring of the New Zealand endemic Maui's and Hector's dolphins

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca Marie
Abstract:: The critically endangered Maui's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus hectori maui) and the endangered Hector's dolphin (C. h. hectori) are endemic to the coastal waters of New Zealand, where their primary threat is fisheries-related mortality. The Maui's dolphin is among the most critically endangered cetaceans in the world, with its remnant population primarily...
