Amphibian and reptile conservation in a changing environment: Case studies from the southeastern United States
… salamander movements. I then used future climate projections to forecast movement opportunities for flatwoods salamander from 2030–2099 and used an existing hydrologic model built on the same climate data to understand how phenology may interact with hydrology. Overall, only a small number of …

Community ecology and population dynamics of the European native oyster (Ostrea edulis) in Essex, UK: A baseline for the management of the Blackwater, Crouch, Roach and Colne Estuaries Marine Conservation Zone
… from both studies was then used to create an Integral Projection Model to assess the current status of native oyster populations, assess limiting factors to population growth, and make future projections of these populations to drive management and restoration decisions. Site-dependent …

On the use of demographic models to inform amphibian conservation and management: A case study of the reticulated flatwoods salamander
… of A. bishopi to construct a demographic model that can be used to evaluate future extinction risk. In chapter one, we quantify population sizes through time, and estimate the impact of annual variability in numbers on genetic viability. This species exists in small (< 500) breeding …

A comparative study of the population dynamics of four Amaranthaceae species
… the inverse. The third study implemented an integral projection model (IPM) to determine the population growth rate of each species and how they compared to one another (Chapter 4). This experiment showed that A. palmeri, A. tuberculatus and A. japonica each had a population growth rate …

Assessment of a freshwater turtle reintroduction
… hematologic assessments. Finally, I constructed integral projection models (IPMs) using population-specific survival and individual growth rates. The reintroduced population was declining (λ = 0.95), although improving individual growth and adult survival through a reduction of incidental bycatch …

Trait-based approaches to understanding the response of forest understory herbs to environmental variation
… in observational, experimental, and population modeling approaches to reveal patterns in understory herb community assembly across environmental resource gradients, understand the impacts of trait phenotypic plasticity on plant growth and survival, and to forecast population-level performance of …
