Hidden dynamics : community ecology and costs of parasite infection in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer)

Creator:

Henrichs, Brian

Abstract:

Most wild animals are concurrently infected with multiple parasite species for most of their lives. These parasite species assemble into rich and diverse communities, with parasites using host tissues for growth and reproduction as well as evolving strategies to evade the host immune system. The net effect of these ecological...

Dispersal Behavior in African Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) : Tradeoffs Between Nutritional Resources and Disease Exposure

Creator:

Spaan, Robert Steven

Abstract:

Dispersal facilitates population health and maintains resilience in species via gene flow. Adult dispersal occurs in some species, is often facultative, and is poorly understood, but has important management implications, particularly with respect to disease spread. Although the role of adult dispersal in spreading disease has been documented, the potential...

Estimation of Population Age Structure, Detection Probability, and Density of Red Tree Voles in Oregon

Creator:

Marks-Fife, Chad A.

Abstract:

Red tree voles (Arborimus longicaudus) are a unique species of Arvicoline rodent found in western Oregon and northwest California. Their preferred habitat is mature and old-growth coniferous forest dominated by Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Tree voles are an important prey item for northern spotted owls and many other predators, but are...
