Habitat Analysis of the Ozark Hellbender, Cryptobranchus Alleganiensis Bishopi, in Missouri
The habitat of the Ozark hellbender, Cryptobranchus alleganiensis bishopi, was investigated in the Northfork of the White River, Ozark County, Missouri. Microhabitat variables of water depth, current velocity, substrate, and embeddedness were measured for 259 hellbenders. A principal component …

Site and species specific wildlife habitat assessment
… chapter. The first chapter is a sensitivity analysis, conducted on a wildlife habitat analysis system previously described. This was designed to mathematically test the effects of changing various parameters used in the system on the calculation of specific indices that this system measures. …

Species Distribution and Richness Patterns of Bird Communities in the High Elevation Forests of Virginia
… in Virginia and combined this with a multi-scale habitat analysis to determine influences of species presence and species richness. We detected 101 species across the elevation gradient, including 12 species with special conservation status and ten species whose presence increased with increasing …

Population Estimates, Demography, and Habitat Assessment of the Pearl River map turtle (Graptemys pearlensis) in the Pearl River Drainage of Mississippi
… of Mississippi. A secondary goal was to describe habitat associated with <em>G. pearlensis</em> abundance. We captured a total of 186 <em>G. pearlensis</em> across 53.2 rkm. Our drainage wide population estimate for <em>G. pearlensis</em> was 22.4 turtles per rkm, although site abundance varied …

Evaluating wildlife response to vegetation restoration on reclaimed mine lands in southwestern Virginia
… night searches, and auditory pond surveys. Microhabitat data were collected at each sampling point and were combined with landscape-level GIS information to relate habitat characteristics and wildlife patterns. I observed 80 bird species using reclaimed areas, clearcuts, and mature forest. …

Population Fragmentation and Genetic Diversity of Chrosomus sp. cf. saylori (Clinch Dace)
… Virginia. Field sampling and genetic analysis support the hypothesis that Clinch Dace populations are small and fragmented. Analysis of neutral genetic markers shows that most Clinch Dace populations have undergone past bottleneck events and are being operated upon by random genetic …

Inhabiting the interstitial: design experiments in aviary architecture and habitat creation
… potential of urban interstitial spaces in bird habitat creation. An interstitial space is the space in-between, underneath, beyond, enveloped, and outside our traditional concepts of habitat and urban space. It is the space between spaces, the space that eludes maps, an aggregate of remnants …

Reproductive Biology of Syntopic Blackside Dace and Southern Redbelly Dace in Two Kentucky Streams
… similar, but more cosmopolitan species share habitat, understanding how they interact with each other is important for conservation efforts. This is especially true if both species rely on the same spawning habitat, which could potentially lead to competitive displacement or hybridization. It …

The Blackfoot Valley Trumpeter Swan Reintroduction: A Chronology and Case Study
… During the time I was involved, we conducted a habitat analysis, worked to prepare wetlands for swan use, released the first cohort of reintroduced trumpeter swans in the Blackfoot Valley, and tracked their movements until they left for winter. While the long-term viability of the trumpeter swan …
