Relation of Missouri river flows to sandbar morphology with implications for selected biota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
.e. an aquatic-terrestrial zone (ATTZ), within the main channel of the lower Missouri River. Predictive models of sandbar morphometry (area, wetted perimeter, elevation, and water-surface slope) were developed to determine how changes in discharge affect...
Wildlife response to spatial and temporal changes in forest habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A common goal in land-management planning is to describe the relationship between management actions, vegetation and wildlife habitat conditions for large landscapes. Achieving this goal can be challenging because ecological ...
Use of main channel and shallow-water habitat by larval fishes in the lower Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
I developed a series of research objectives organized in a spatial hierarchy to characterize larval fish nursery habitat within the lower Missouri River. Native carpsucker spp./buffalo spp. (Carpiodes spp./Ictiobus spp.) and chub spp. (Macrhybopsis...
Habitat use and home range of American bitterns (Botuarus lentiginosus) and monitoring of inconspicuous marsh birds in northwest Minnesota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
.96 (95% CI 0.930 - 0.979) and nest survival rate of American Bitterns was 0.35 (95% CI = 0.15 - 0.58). The average core home range size (50%) was 18.08 ha ([plus or minus] 6.38) and the 95% home range was 109.28 ha ([plus or minus] 38.47) using the fixed...
Occupancy modeling of ruffed grouse in the Black Hills National Forest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
= 0.022) in 2008, and was positively influenced by the amount of aspen. Detection probability was 0.29 (SE = 0.052) in 2007 and 0.27 (SE = 0.063) in 2008, and was primarily influenced by date and wind speed. Using these estimates, we evaluated multiple...
Multi-scale factors influencing detection, site occupancy and resource use by foraging bats in the Ozark Highlands of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Conservation of bat populations requires understanding the associations between bats and their use of resources. We used maximum likelihood to estimate probability of site occupancy using acoustic data for ten species of ...
