Creator:: Frey, Sarah J. K.
Abstract:: Population trends and patterns in species distributions are the major currencies used to examine responses by biodiversity to changing environments. Effective conservation recommendations require that models of both distribution dynamics and population trends accurately reflect reality. However, identification of the appropriate temporal and spatial scales of animal response, and then...
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: occupancy dynamics of the Andrews Forest bird community. I collected bird occurrence data in 2012 and 2013

Creator:: Halstead, Katherine E.
Abstract:: The combined effects of habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation pose a serious threat to Earth's biodiversity, imperiling even relatively common species. 'Habitat' is necessarily a species-specific concept, and investigations of bird diversity relationships and subsequent efforts to prioritize conservation areas, are challenged by the difficulty of estimating complex habitat gradients...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: assessments of multi-species habitat distributions. In this research, I focused on forest bird species

Creator:: Yegorova, Svetlana
Abstract:: Bird-vegetation associations are a base for bird conservation and management, as well as for predictions of the effects of resource management and climate change on wildlife populations. A recent shift in forest management priorities from timber production to native species' habitat conservation on federal lands has emphasized the need to...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: study investigated whether disturbance associated with forest thinning decoupled bird-vegetation

Creator:: Ellis, Tana M.
Abstract:: Recent evidence suggests that population declines of some avian species may be driven primarily by reduced quantity and diversity of early-successional habitat on the breeding grounds. Increasing intensity of forest management on private lands and decreased harvest rates on federal lands has resulted in a loss of the diverse early-successional...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: presence of these species in coniferous forest stands has been associated with bird species richness and
