Effects of Prescribed Burns on Small Mammal Populations with Comments on Houston Toad Populations
Adaptive forest management has been an important tool to improve species diversity within a forest. Fire suppression and habitat fragmentation in Southern pine forests have resulted in habitat composition changes, potentially causing negative impacts on endemic species. Implementing prescribed fire …

Salinas Pueblo Missions: The Early History
… protected by the National Park Service, at the management units of Gran Quivira, Abó, and Quarai, while also placing the Salinas story into the broader historical context of New Mexico and U. S. West history. This is accomplished by a careful examination of the first hand accounts by individuals …

Factors influencing the white-tailed deer harvest in Virginia, 1947-1967 \
… of deer kill for groups of counties (i.e. management units) are more reliable than predictions for individual counties. It was found that predictions of hunting pressure are not as reliable as predictions of deer kill. Tile shifting of hunters in response to reports of favorable hunting is …

Incorporating Migration and Local Movement Patterns into Management Strategies for Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias)
… Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias) into separate management units. These management units are not genetically distinct, but rather would be based on unique behaviors adopted by hypothesized groups of dogfish that connect reproductive, feeding, and overwintering grounds (“contingents”). This …

An Assessment of Population Genetic Structure in Guillemots (Cepphus)
… structure is important for their successful management and conservation. I used various genetic markers and methods to assess population genetic variation in pigeon guillemots (C. columba) and black guillemots (C. grylle). In both species, I found evidence of limited dispersal and restricted …
