Habitat Use by Boreal Mammals in Response to Salvage Logging After an Insect Outbreak
… habitat. I examined habitat use by moose (Alces americanus), snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus), lynx (Lynx canadensis), coyotes (Canis latrans), and little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) in response to salvage logging after a bark beetle outbreak in Yukon, Canada. I monitored species occupancy in …

Problem-solving capabilities as a test of predator adaptability: A comparision of bobcats (Lynx rufus) and Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis)
… lagomorphs, especially snowshoe hare (<italic>Lepus americanus</italic>). Many wildlife professionals anecdotally report vast behavioral differences between these two species, but no empirical juxtaposition of the two has been published. This study proposes a means to provide qualitative and …

Predator species identification from saliva at kill sites with limited remains
… species identification at snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) kill sites for the ultimate purpose of elucidating predator-prey interactions. Predator saliva at kill sites was sampled with foam buccal swabs, stored in lysis buffer for shelf-stable preservation, and tested for predator …

A Study of factors influencing a non-cyclic, island population of snowshoe hares
… Jacquot Island and mainland snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) populations, in the southwestern Yukon. The population dynamics of snowshoe hares on Jacquot Island have been observed to differ from the dynamics of a population undergoing a "10-year cycle," such as that on the adjacent mainland. …

Effects of forest management, prey, and predators on the habitat selection of fishers in the South Cascades of Washington.
… stands had higher abundance of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) and mountain beavers (Aplodontia rufa). I identified a potential disconnect between preferred habitats of fishers and two common prey species, mountain beavers and snowshoe hares. In the second chapter, I examined the relative …

Movements, Survival, and Habitat Relationships of Snowshoe Hares Following Release in Northeast Ohio
The geographic distribution of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) is primarily associated with northern boreal forests of North America. Snowshoe hares were once indigenous to the snow-belt region of northeastern Ohio, but were extirpated by the early 1900s. Attempts were made to reintroduce …
