California condors in the Pacific Northwest : integrating history, molecular ecology, and spatial modeling for reintroduction planning

Creator:

D'Elia, Jesse

Abstract:

Reintroduction programs are increasingly being used to save animals from extinction and aid in their recovery. The California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus), one of the most endangered birds in the world, is a remarkable example of how reintroduction programs can help rapidly increase a species' population numbers and range following a...

Individual and demographic responses of the gray-tailed Vole (Microtus canicaudus) to an endocrine disruptor

Creator:

Caslin, Tracie M.

Abstract:

In an experimental field study, populations of gray-tailed voles (Microtus canicaudus) were exposed to a commercial formulation of vinclozolin, a fungicide effective for disease control on ornamental plants, turf grasses, and fruits and vegetables. Vinclozolin has been shown in laboratory experiments to behave as an androgen antagonist, impairing the reproductive...

You are What, When, Where, and How you Eat : Mercury in Avian Food Webs across Multiple Spatial Scales

Creator:

Jackson, Allyson K.

Abstract:

Human alterations of landscapes take many forms, one of which is anthropogenic pollution. Mercury (Hg) is a complex contaminant because its uptake into the food web is not driven entirely by loading to the system; methylation is necessary to make Hg bioavailable and toxic to fish and wildlife. Because methylation...
