Development and evaluation of a terrestrial animal-borne video system for ecological research
(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...

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 ...
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...
Resource selection by black-footed ferrets in relation to the spatial distribution of prairie dogs
