Resource selection by black-footed ferrets in relation to the spatial distribution of prairie dogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
site. Space use by predators is known to be influenced by the spatial distribution of prey, and I found that prairie dog burrow distribution strongly influenced ferret resource selection. In addition, territoriality and home range size of ferrets were...
Wildlife response to spatial and temporal changes in forest habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
success). I then simulated future forest conditions and evaluated habitat suitability 10, 50, and 150 years from present as part of the Hoosier National Forest (HNF) plan revision. No single management alternative was best for all wildlife species. Without...
Evaluation and development of black-footed ferret resource selection models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
, ferrets still might select the area. Spatial avoidance of coyotes (Canis latrans) and badgers (Taxidea taxus), or similarities in space use among ferrets and these predators were not evident in our final RSFs. Connectivities of active and open burrow...
Space use and resource selection by Eastern spotted skunks in the Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Once a common and economically important furbearer, the eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius) is now listed as endangered, threatened, or a species of conservation concern throughout much of its historical range. ...
Development and evaluation of a terrestrial animal-borne video system for ecological research
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Animal-borne video and environmental data collection systems (AVEDs) are integrated sensor systems that combine video from the animal's perspective with data from other sensors (e.g., audio, location). By placing sensor data within the context...
Resource selection, movement patterns, and survival of post-fledging grassland birds in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
meadowlarks (Sturnella magna) in southwestern Missouri, from 2002 to 2004 using radio telemetry. Across species at the micro-scale, there was support for the predation hypothesis (both species) and the thermal refuge hypothesis (dickcissels only). Woody cover...
Occupancy modeling of ruffed grouse in the Black Hills National Forest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
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 ...
