The hermit thrush (Catharus guttatus) and the varied thrush (Ixoreus naevius) are focal species for conservation of forested habitats in Oregon. Although habitat associations have been defined for both species, their response to changes in vegetation following wildfire has not been well studied. To help fill this information gap, I...
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...
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), which has been used as a focal species for demonstrating ecosystem integrity. Marten population densities decline following intensive forest management activities, but impacts...
Interior least tern (Sternula antillarum athalassos) populations and productivity have been declining in Indiana for the past ten years, which is thought to be the result of predation. Methods for protecting nesting Interior least terns include fence exclosures and artificial shelters for chicks, but their effectiveness is unknown. Each Indiana...
