Human disturbance was suspected...

Masters Thesis
Describing juvenile American shad and striped bass habitat use in the Hudson River Estuary using species distribution models

Creator:

O’Connor, Megan P., Juanes, Francis, McGarigal, Kevin, and Caris, Jon

Abstract:

Species distribution models (SDMs) are currently being used to identify essential fish habitat and guide fisheries management worldwide. We present SDMs based on generalized linear mixed models (GLMM) of the fall distribution or occurrence of juvenile American shad (Alosa sapidissima) and juvenile striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in the Hudson River...

Relationship between landscape structure and avian abundance patterns in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:

McGarigal, Kevin

Abstract:

Human-induced fragmentation of forests is increasing, yet the consequences of these landscape changes to vertebrate communities are poorly understood. Despite progress in our understanding of how bird communities respond to forest fragmentation caused by agricultural or urban development, we have little understanding of these dynamics in landscapes undergoing intensive forest...
