The spatial ecology of a species is a vital component of informed management and restoration plans, yet little is known about how animals use restored or constructed habitat. We assessed home ranges, core areas, and habitat selection of the federally threatened Giant Gartersnake (Thamnophis gigas) using rice agricultural habitat and...
Freshwater wetlands in the Sacramento Valley provide breeding, wintering, foraging and stopover habitat for migratory and resident birds. With a loss of 95% of historic freshwater wetlands, the restoration of wetlands on private land could provide important habitat for birds. Documentation and monitoring of bird use on previously restored wetlands...
Population genetic structure is widespread in many organisms and can be found at small spatial scales. Fine-scale differentiation is the result of ecological and evolutionary processes working together to produce an overall pattern, but the relative importance of these factors in population differentiation is poorly understood. The goals of my...
