Ashland, Missouri. My research shows that our AVEDs are powerful new tools for ecological research that do not elevate stress levels of captive white-tailed deer and enable ecological research opportunities that traditional methods (e.g., radio telemetry...

Bustard Sanctuary, Maharashtra, India and assessed resource selection based on landcover characteristics. Indian foxes chose for grassland habitats at the scale of both landscape and home-range level and avoided human-dominated areas such as agricultural...

Information on habitat use of the American Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus) and a statistically valid survey design for monitoring changes in populations of inconspicuous marsh birds, which include American and Least Bitterns ...

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 ...

I developed a series of spatially-nested research objectives to identify habitat elements related to the distribution and abundance of riverine smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu in Missouri. The range of smallmouth bass was identified using a few...

Ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) are important game birds and the management indicator species for quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) in the Black Hills National Forest (BHNF). As a result, a robust monitoring protocol ...

Salmonid populations in the Great Lakes experienced a decline in the early twentieth century, presumably due to over-fishing combined with the introduction of exotic parasites such as the sea lamprey. Despite intensive ...

The movement and habitat use patterns of adult flathead and blue catfish were studied via acoustic and radio telemetry in the lower Missouri River and adjacent tributaries including the Grand, Lamine, Chariton, and Little Chariton Rivers...

Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), ...

step in assessing populations. We surveyed 14 sites in the Meramec River Basin in East-central Missouri to determine the effectiveness of visual sampling methods and to determine the effects of habitat variability on the effectiveness of these methods...
