Is Cover Type Use by Dabbling Ducks at Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge, Arkansas, Related to Energy Availability?

Creator:: Kreisler, Skye E.
Abstract:: Managers of U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) in central Arkansas want to provide sufficient habitat resources to meet its population objectives for wintering waterfowl. Nutrient reserves acquired during the wintering period appear to support spring migration and subsequent reproductive success for some species,...

Potential effects of climate change and fire management on fire behavior and vegetation patterns on an east Cascades landscape

Creator:: Greaves, Heather E.
Abstract:: Climate exerts considerable control on wildfire regimes, and climate and wildfire are both major drivers of forest growth and succession in interior Northwest forests. Estimating potential response of these landscapes to anticipated changes in climate helps researchers and land managers understand and mitigate impacts of climate change on important ecological...

Connecting local values and forest policy to the international forest sustainability dialogue

Creator:: Morré, Susan K.
Abstract:: Sustainable management of the world’s forests is a key component for conserving biodiversity, soil and water resources, mitigating climate change, strengthening economies, and promoting sustainable communities and human well-being, now and in the future. While international cooperation is important, the actual policies and management actions that affect forest conditions and...

The Discourse of Demographic Diversity in U.S. Natural Resources Scholarly Literature: A Multi-Methods Qualitative Study

Creator:: Brown, Jasmine K.
Abstract:: Racial, ethnic and gender diversity have been long term topics of discussion in natural resources. Yet to date, there has not been a comprehensive review of the existing literature within the discourse of demographic diversity. Therefore, I conducted a systematic review of demographic diversity in the disciplines of forestry, fisheries,...

An examination of climate and land-use change as drivers of population dynamics in breeding birds

Creator:: Kim, Hankyu
Abstract:: Anthropogenic land-cover change and climate change are the major drivers of the steep loss of avian biodiversity in past decades. Loss of avian biodiversity is predicted to result in the reduction of ecosystem services and ecological functions. Identifying avian population changes and the drivers of these trajectories is essential for...

Pacific marten occupancy and detection probability in relation to infrastructure and environmental factors in the southern Cascade Mountains

Creator:: Hill, Deborah J.
Abstract:: Humans benefit from being in nature and recreating, however outdoor recreation can negatively impact wildlife, including species of conservation concern such as the Pacific marten (Martes caurina). Densities of martens decline following intensive forest management activities, but impacts from recreation are relatively unstudied. My goal was to evaluate marten occupancy...

Independent effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on pollination : tropical forest fragmentation alters hummingbird movements and pollination dynamics

Creator:: Hadley, Adam S.
Abstract:: A growing body of work reveals that animal-mediated pollination is negatively affected by anthropogenic disturbance. Landscape-scale disturbance results in two often inter-related processes: (1) habitat loss, and (2) disruptions of habitat configuration (i.e. fragmentation). Understanding the relative effects of such processes is critical in designing effective management strategies to limit...

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...

Short-term relationship of timber management and Pacific giant salamander populations, and the response of larval stream amphibian to predators under differing sediment levels

Creator:: Leuthold, Niels C.
Abstract:: In the Pacific Northwest, multiple studies have found negative effects of timber harvest on stream amphibians, but the results have been highly variable and region-specific. In this collection of studies, I examined the short term effect of timber harvest using a field study, and used lab work to examine a...

On the estimation and application of spatial and temporal autocorrelation in headwater streams

Creator:: Som, Nicholas A.
Abstract:: This collection of three manuscripts serves to improve methods for collecting, interpreting, and utilizing autocorrelated data from headwater stream networks. Each stream network is comprised of linear segments. These segments lie within a unique branching structure that connects the segments via flowing water, and the connectivity provided by water varies...
