Space use behavior and multi-scale habitat selection of American marten (Martes americana) in northeastern Minnesota
… behavior, estimate home range size, and assess habitat selection at landscape and stand scales. Marten selected mature forest, but individual marten showed preference for different forest cover types. Rest sites and reproductive dens facilitate recruitment and protect marten from predators and …

Spatial Patterns and Multi-Scale Habitat Selection of the Mudsnake (Farancia Abacura) at the Northern Limits of Its Range
Spatial ecology and habitat selection are paramount to understanding a species' ecological needs and preferences. In this study I radiotracked 15 Mudsnakes (Farancia abacura) at Mingo National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Missouri. Consistent with anecdotal information regarding the species, …

POPULATION DYNAMICS OF SPECIES RECOVERY: MULTISCALE DEMOGRAPHY IN RESTORED HABITATS
With habitat loss remaining one of the greatest global threats to biodiversity, habitat restoration has become an important tool for species recovery and conservation. Yet despite the conceptually-appealing lens of “if you build it, they will come” (i.e., the ‘Field of Dreams’ Hypothesis), …

Species Distribution and Richness Patterns of Bird Communities in the High Elevation Forests of Virginia
… isolated populations are governed by large scale processes. The high elevations forests in the Southern Appalachians represent a series of naturally fragmented islands that harbor many isolated populations of species at the southern limits of their range. Understanding the governing forces …

EFFECTS OF SCALE AND HABITAT MANAGEMENT ON GRASSLAND BIRD RESPONSE IN CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM FIELDS IN NORTHWEST ILLINOIS
… past several decades. Grassland birds respond to multiple scales which encompass a spectrum of habitat variables, and the habitat scale of importance may depend on the response of interest. For practitioners, having knowledge of the effect of scale is useful because conservation efforts can be …
