Factors Affecting Black-footed Ferret Populations within the Great Plains Region of North America: A Case Study

Creator:: Hodges, Rodney J.
Abstract:: The black-footed ferret is a meso-predator within the Great Plains region of North America. Before the 1900s, black-footed ferret populations were self-sustaining in large ecological patches throughout the geographical range of the Great Plains. During the 1900s, various factors such as the systematic extermination of prairie dogs (the primary food...

State-Level Challenges to Invasive Insect Management: A Case Study of Spotted Lanternfly in the Northeast

Creator:: Adams, Jennifer
Abstract:: Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is an invasive insect that was first discovered in Pennsylvania in 2014, and has since spread across the Northeastern United States. States in the Northeast have created quarantine zones, regulations, outreach, reporting systems, and management efforts for the control of spotted lanternfly. Despite states’ efforts, spotted...

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Detection of Native Lampreys in Central Valley California: A Starting Point

Creator:: Parker, Christina M.
Abstract:: Native lamprey species in the Central Valley of California serve important ecological roles in rivers and tributaries and face similar conservation challenges as salmonids. Concerns of declining lamprey populations have led to collaboration of tribes, local, state, and federal agencies to increase understanding of ecology and life history. Pacific Lamprey...

An Evaluation of Wallowa Stock Hatchery Residual Oncorhynchus mykiss Monitoring and Management Strategies

Creator:: Smith, Jorden D.
Abstract:: Hatchery O. mykiss that fail to emigrate to the ocean, referred to as residuals, present an ecological and genetic risk to naturally-produced species through resource competition, predation, and spawning interactions. The Lower Snake River Compensation Plan’s Wallowa stock steelhead program in northeast Oregon has established methods of reducing and quantifying...

Invasive Species in Riparian Habitats of Washington: Using Species Distribution Models to Guide Monitoring Efforts

Creator:: Smiley, Samantha N.
Abstract:: Riparian ecosystems provide critical habitat for a broad diversity of aquatic and terrestrial species. However, due to their connectivity along river corridors, and the tendency for people to build roads, infrastructure, and other settlements next to rivers, riparian ecosystems are vulnerable to colonization by invasive plant and animal species. Early...
