Habitat use, movements, and behavior of postbreeding female canvasbacks in Manitoba

Creator:: Devries, James H.
Abstract:: The habitat use, movements, and behavioral energetics of unsuccessfully breeding female canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria) were examined during the preflightless period in southern Manitoba during 1989-90. Following breeding attempts, unsuccessful females generally expanded their home range on the breeding area, remained there for up to one month, preferentially used large semipermanent...

Effects of oil and natural gas development on territory occupancy of ferruginous hawks and golden eagles in Wyoming, USA

Creator:: Wallace, Zachary P.
Abstract:: Energy development is expanding rapidly across the western US. Negative effects have been documented for some wildlife, but consequences of development are unclear for other taxa, including raptors. We had the opportunity to examine effects of oil and natural gas development on two raptor species of conservation concern, ferruginous hawks...

Fine scale foraging behavior of gray whales in relation to prey fields and vessel disturbance along the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Sullivan, Florence A.
Abstract:: The desire to understand the spatial and temporal drivers of animal behavior and distribution relative to scale is central to movement ecology. Optimal foraging theory states that a predator should continue exploiting a patch until it is no longer profitable to do so. As human developments increasingly encroach on the...

Mark-recapture estimates of population parameters for selected species of small mammals

Creator:: Hammond, Ellen L.
Abstract:: I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...

Seasonal movement, home range, and abundance of the Mariana Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus guami) on Guam and the northern Mariana Islands

Creator:: Takano, Leilani L.
Abstract:: The endemic avifauna of Guam and the Mariana Islands represent a unique assemblage of bird species found nowhere else in the world and thus, are of considerable biological and conservation importance. Unfortunately, most of these species are understudied and exist in precariously low populations. The endangered Mariana Common Moorhen (Gallinula...

Effects of female kin groups on reproduction and demography in the gray-tailed vole (Microtus canicaudus)

Creator:: Dalton, Christine L.
Abstract:: The 3-5 year cyclical fluctuations in populations of many vole and lemming species have perplexed ecologists for many years. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain microtine rodent cycles, including various aspects of social behavior. Microtine rodents commonly form kin groups composed of related females. Charnov and Finerty (1980) proposed...

Influence of habitat characteristics on Greater sage-grouse reproductive success in the Montana Mountains, Nevada

Creator:: Rebholz, James L.
Abstract:: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have declined across their geographic range during the last century. They were once widespread throughout the Intermountain West, but lower annual productivity, likely caused by degradation and loss of suitable habitat, has greatly reduced their distribution and population densities. Habitat used for reproduction has been...

Seasonal movements and distribution of migratory Roosevelt elk in the Olympic Mountains, Washington

Creator:: Schroer, Gregory L.
Abstract:: Seasonal movements, home ranges, core areas and habitat use patterns of hunted, migratory Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti) were investigated on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington. Radio telemetry was used to obtain more than 3,100 locations of 9 elk from May 1984 - March 1985, and November - December, 1985. Radio-collared...

Population attributes and habitat selection of recolonizing mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa)

Creator:: Hacker, Amy L.
Abstract:: I investigated the population attributes and habitat selection of mountain beaver (Aplodontia rufa) recolonizing clearcuts in the Coast Range mountains of Polk and Lincoln counties, Oregon between June 1989 and August 1990. The population characteristics of colonizing mountain beaver were evaluated in 12 stands of 3 types: 1-year-old clearcuts assumed...
