SPATIALLY EXPLICIT MODEL OF AREAS BETWEEN SUITABLE BLACK BEAR HABITAT IN EAST TEXAS AND BLACK BEAR POPULATIONS IN LOUISIANA, ARKANSAS, AND OKLAHOMA
… presence suitability scores from the binary predictive map, thus resulting in a more conservative predictive map. The final 10<sup>th</sup> percentile model predicted 43.7% of the pixels in the study area as suitable and 53.7 % percent of the pixels identified as potential recovery units by …

Modeling the Distribution of the Northern Hardwood Forest Type in Carolina Northern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus coloratus) Recovery Areas of the Southern Appalachians
… with the purpose of creating a more robust predictive model of this forest type for spatial delineation. I recorded overstory species composition as well as terrain variables at 338 points throughout the study area in order to quantitatively define the northern hardwood forest type. These …

High resolution modeling of tick density and detection of Rickettsia spp. in Dermacentor spp. ticks at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, WA
… objectives. First we developed a high resolution predictive map for Dermacentor spp. distribution across the public use area of TNWR. To do so, 50m transects (27 in total) were established across the public use area. Ticks were collected weekly within the transects from March 26th – June 5th, …

Genetic stock structure and estimation of abundance of swordfish (Xiphias gladius) in South Africa
… Africa's coastline was utilised. A posterior predictive map of admixture proportions produced a potential admixture zone between 14°E and 27°E. There is evidence of gene flow and migration in this area in both directions, though the evidence for weak differentiation suggests that the Indian …

Estimating the Impact of House Sparrows on Eastern Bluebird Reproductive Success Across an Urban Gradient
… in subjective speculation and thus have poor predictive power. The House Sparrow (HOSP) was introduced into New York, NY from Europe in 1851 and has since expanded its range to encompass all of North America, where it usurps nests of native cavity-nesting birds, frequently destroying eggs, and …

Evaluation of landscape level habitat characteristics of golden eagle habitat in Northwestern Mexico
… range scale based on AIC values to develop a predictive map of golden eagle distribution in Chihuahua, Mexico. I found that at a home range scale, golden eagles' occurrence was positively related to open areas and terrain ruggedness and negatively to human settlements, while at a larger scale …

Preclinical evaluation of dissolvable microarray patches for allergy treatment: key factors governing in vitro and in silico assessment
… such as dissolvable microarray patches (MAP), offering the potential for targeted local and systemic drug effects. However, no dissolvable MAP have yet reached the market. Despite significant advances in early MAP development (e.g. materials, fabrication), critical gaps remain in …
