Effects of spatial scale and heterogeneity on avian occupancy dynamics and population trends in forested mountain landscapes

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...

occupancy dynamics of the Andrews Forest bird community. I collected bird occurrence data in 2012 and 2013
The use of burned forest by breeding birds following the Biscuit Fire in southwest Oregon

Creator:

Donaghy Cannon, Michelle M.

Abstract:

Fire severity is hypothesized as an important driver of bird responses to wildfire. For those species that typically respond negatively to increasing severity, Accessibility of high-severity burned forest may be dependent on the proximity of unburned or low-severity burned forest to meet all of the needs of breeding bird species...
