Synanthropic survival: low-impact agriculture and White-shouldered Ibis conservation ecology
The conservation value of traditional agriculture is well recognised in Europe, where retention and restoration of farming practices that support open-habitat species is a standard management technique. Elsewhere, however, this value is often overlooked while conservation attention is directed at …

The conservation ecology of the Dorcas gazelle (Gazella dorcas) in North East Libya
… arid, semi-desert conditions. To be effective, conservation efforts require fundamental information about the species, especially its abundance, distribution and genetic factors. Prior to this study, there was a paucity of such data relating to the Dorcas gazelle in Libya and the original …

Conservation ecology of the Cape clawless otter, Aonyx capensis, in an urban environment
… to be prioritised by resource constrained conservation authorities. I thus explored whether the large citizen science community in Cape Town can be used to monitor the population. I used Maxent to model otter distribution using citizen reported sightings over 5 years and compared the …

The conservation ecology of the European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) in a complex heathland-plantation landscape.
Abstract The conservation ecology of the European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) was investigated in a complex heathland-plantation landscape in eastern England. Using radio telemetry, 31 nightjars were tracked in 2009 and 2010. The breeding behaviour of males was found to have potential …

Projected sea level rise and the conservation ecology of the Micronesian Megapode (Megapodius laperouse senex) in Palau, Micronesia
… megapode in the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon Conservation Area (RISL), where it almost exclusively uses low-lying littoral strand habitat for breeding. Megapodes preferentially selected sites that were 1) relatively close to shore, 2) contained large trees, and 3) exhibited greater canopy …

Foraging Ecology And Habitat Selection Of The Western Yellow Robin (Eopsaltria Griseogularis) In A Wandoo Woodland, Western Australia : Conservation Ecology Of A Declining Species
This study examined the foraging ecology and habitat selection of the Western Yellow Robin in Wandoo Woodland at Dryandra Woodland, Western Australia. The foraging ecology component was comprised of an examination of foraging behaviour, perch-use selection and pounce-site characteristics. The …

A wetland vulnerability assessment : consequences for the avian communities of saltmarshes
… is a substantial area of research for modern conservation ecology. This aim of this research is to investigate these consequences for the avian communities of saltmarshes and associated reed beds. The research has four objectives: to classify saltmarsh and reed bed vegetation distribution; to …

Conserving widely distributed wildlife species in an African savanna: parks, cattle-grazing and community-managed areas
… of monitoring data and poorly understood species ecology limit knowledge of patterns, causal mechanisms and degree of abundance or range declines. Working in an African savanna, where bushmeat hunting and cattle-grazing are considered the greatest threats to wildlife, this thesis combined three …

Conservation and population genetics of African and Asian rhinoceros
… a number of questions that will aid in the conservation of rhinoceros populations both ex situ and in the wild. In order to evaluate genetic diversity in rhinoceros populations, I investigated three research questions that will contribute substantially to the conservation and management of …

A circumscription of the earth tongue fungi class Geoglossomycetes
… and knowledge of their distribution and ecology has greatly increased. My research has served to provide a stable taxonomy and molecular framework for new and exciting studies, facilitating mycological research across a number of subjects including fungal conservation, ecology, and …

Marine Reserves Promote Coral Reef Resilience by Mitigating Human Impacts Through the Restoration of Parrotfish Populations, Increasing Their Reproductive Output and Seeding Neighboring Overfished Reefs
<p>Coral reefs are some of the most productive ecosystems on the planet, providing fisheries resources for over a billion people with billions of dollars in revenue from tourism for developing nations. Coral reefs are under threat from overfishing and water pollution, resulting in less productive …

Detection, Occupancy, Abundance, and Mercury Accumulation of the Alligator Snapping Turtle (Macrochelys temminckii) in Texas
<p>Land use practices and physical alterations of ecosystems result in habitat loss and fragmentation, while chemical alterations, such as pollutant input, reduce habitat quality and health of exposed organisms. Here, I investigated the effects of watershed- and local-scale environmental variables …

THE BROWN BEAR GUT MICROBIOME: A NOVEL TOOL FOR CONSERVATION & MANAGEMENT
… in host health, the role of GMBs in wildlife ecology and conservation has yet to be realized fully. Here, I use brown bears (<em>Ursus arctos</em>) as an ecological model to investigate (1) how both extrinsic and intrinsic factors influence GMB community membership and structure; and (2) the …

Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe cruciferarum) Affects the Allelopathic and Competitive Abilities of Invasive Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata)
Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) has been previously found to be significantly affected negatively by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cruciferarum). While we could not significantly corroborate those findings we did find evidence that E. cruciferarum does inhibit A. petiolata’s allelopathic and …

Sermons in Stones: Mormon Chosenness and the Politics of Land in the American West
<p>This study explores the intersection of religion, land use, and political resistance in Latter-day Saint culture, arguing that Mormon land ethics are shaped by a ritualized process I term the “Cycle of Chosenness.” Through historical and ethnographic analysis, I trace how collective memory of …

Density Effects on Growth, Survival and Diet of June sucker (Chasmistes liorus): A Component Allee Effect in an Endangered Species.
Density-dependence is considered one of the most important regulators of population growth, and it has been documented across a wide variety of species. Typically, population growth rate and components thereof decline with increasing density (i.e., negative density-dependence); however, in species …
