Landscape level raptor habitat associations in northwest Connecticut
I measured habitat characteristics at 21 barred owl, 30 northern goshawk. and 17 redshouldered hawk nest areas, and at 49 random areas within a 780 km2 area in northwest Connecticut. Measurements were taken at a macro ground level and from 1:12,000 and 1:40,000 black and white and 1:58,000 and …

Evaluation of Fish Scale Chemistry for Determining Habitat Associations
… chemistry for determining natal origins and habitat associations. I quantified a relationship of scale chemistry to water chemistry, quantified geographic variation in scale chemistry, and evaluated stability of scale chemistry through maturation. Scale chemistry accurately reflected trace …

Fish-Habitat Associations in Small Backwaters of the Upper Missouri River, North Dakota
I evaluated habitat characteristics and fish assemblages associated with small backwaters of the Upper Missouri River, North Dakota. Backwaters sampled ranged in size from 0.002 to 0.44 ha with a mean area of 0.08 ha and were located relatively close to the main channel of the Missouri River (mean …

Small mammal and herpetofauna communities and habitat associations in foothills of the Chihuahuan Desert
Small mammal and herpetofauna habitat associations, communities, and habitat characteristics were sampled from 6 habitats associated with foothills of the Sacramento Mountains near the northern limit of the Chihuahuan Desert. Sampled habitats included arroyos and adjacent uplands under 3 conditions …

Habitat Associations Of Stream-Dwelling Salamanders At Multiple Spatial Scales In Central Kentucky Headwaters.
<p>Headwater stream systems are productive habitats that are often at risk of human perturbation, and it is crucial that ecologists understand natural patterns and processes within these ecosystems. Using a multi-scale approach, I investigated factors influencing habitat associations of …

Landscape Scale Habitat Associations of Sprague's Pipit (Anthus Spragueii) Overwintering in the Southern United States
… Sprague’s Pipits seem very selective in their habitat use, although there are reports that there may be a broader use of habitats on the wintering grounds. My objective was to determine the habitat types that Sprague’s Pipits associate with at the landscape scale. I used land cover data from …
