Assessing the Influence of Prescribed Fire on Faunal Communities in a Pyric Landscape
… how fire influences relative abundances of mammalian predators, occupancy and species richness of avian species, guilds and communities, and vital rates of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus viginianus) fawns. Our results indicated that mammalian predator space use, and avian species richness …

Variation in predator communities and anti-predator behaviors of Milne-Edwards' sifakas (Propithecus edwardsi) in southeastern Madagascar
… human-disturbed habitats. I investigated lemur-predator interactions in southeastern Madagascar through a comparison of predator communities and anti-predator behaviors of Milne-Edwards' sifakas (Propithecus edwardsi) in the continuous rainforest of Ranomafana National Park, and the forest …

Determinants of predator abundance in northern KwaZulu-Natal: top-down or bottom-up?
… ultimately aim to successfully conserve natural predator populations, an understanding of the non-anthropogenic drivers of their population change is critical. Both bottom-up (e.g. food limitation, competition) and top-down (e.g. predation, interference) processes play an important role in …

Designing against habitat loss: Facilitating movement of the Louisiana black bear
… bear faces especially acute problems as a large mammalian predator, due to expansive spatial requirements and lack of eager reception by many humans. Its population has been reduced to around 750 and is exclusively found in four subpopulations in Louisiana, with this spatial isolation adding to …

A Study of factors influencing a non-cyclic, island population of snowshoe hares
… survival was attributed to the lack of small mammalian predators on the island. The Jacquot Island study grids had habitat with more dense under story than that of mainland areas. The density of cover at 10 cm above the ground was positively associated with juvenile survival, and may have also …

Assessing the Effects of Sea-Level Rise on Piping Plover (Charadrius Melodus) Nesting Habitat, and the Ecology of a Key Mammalian Shorebird Predator, on Assateague Island
… of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), a key shorebird predator at Assateague Island, Maryland and Virginia. We constructed and tested a model that links changes in geomorphological characteristics to piping plover nesting habitat suitability. We then linked this model to larger scale shoreline change …

Translocation site selection for the nationally endangered grasshopper species Brachaspis robustus : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science at Lincoln University
… extinction due to the compounding pressures of mammalian predation, habitat modification, and climate change. Protection of this species and its habitat is vital to its survival. One tool that has been identified to help manage B. robustus is translocation to suitable environments. In my …

Aspects of the ecology and management of small mammalian predators in northern New Zealand
… months. Chapter II. Diets of coexisting alien mammalian carnivores in Northern New Zealand. 120 feral cats, 85 stoats (Mustela erminea), 28 weasels (M. nivalis) and 16 ferrets (M. furo) were caught over three years, in Northland, New Zealand. The gut contents of these animals were examined and …
