(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
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...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
I compared nest survival and breeding density between native bottomland forest and cottonwood (Populus deltoides) plantations over a three-year period for Acadian Flycatcher (Empidonax virescens), Prothonotary Warbler ...
Occupancy modeling of ruffed grouse in the Black Hills National Forest
