Using Spatial Capture-Recapture to Estimate Density of Roosevelt Elk in Western Oregon

Creator:

Nelson, Jennifer E.

Abstract:

Spatial capture-recapture (SCR) is employed for estimating abundance and density of species, particularly those that are cryptic or solitary, and evaluating how population density varies with habitat. However, it is uncertain whether estimates are biased when applied to species that aggregate, such as elk (Cervus canadensis). Wildlife managers in the...

Collis, Ken, Roby, Daniel D., Larson, Keith W., Adrean, Lindsay J., Nelson, S. Kim, Evans, Allen F., Hostetter, Nathan, Battaglia, Dan, Lyons, Donald E., Marcella, Tim, and Patterson, Allison

Abstract:

Colony size, nesting ecology and diet of Caspian Terns (Hydroprogne caspia) were investigated in the San Francisco Bay area (SFBA) during 2003-2009 to assess the potential for conservation of the tern breeding population and possible negative effects of predation on survival of juvenile salmonids (Oncorhynchus spp.). Numbers of breeding Caspian...
