Biological Control of Disease Vectors: A Case Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Fathead Minnows (Pimephales promelas) for Mosquito Control in Northeast Wyoming
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-12)West Nile virus (WNv) has become a significant and increasing threat to wildlife populations and human health throughout North America. Mosquito control is an important and potentially effective means of controlling the ... -
Developing approaches for linear mixed modeling in landscape genetics through landscape-directed dispersal simulations
(Wiley, 2017-06-01)Dispersal can impact population dynamics and geographic variation, and thus, genetic approaches that can establish which landscape factors influence population connectivity have ecological and evolutionary importance. Mixed ... -
Landscape characteristics influencing the genetic structure of greater sage-grouse within the stronghold of their range: a holistic modeling approach
(Wiley, 2015-05-01)Given the significance of animal dispersal to population dynamics and geographic variability, understanding how dispersal is impacted by landscape patterns has major ecological and conservation importance. Speaking to the ... -
A large-scale multi-seasonal habitat prioritization and an analysis of structural connectivity for the conservation of greater sage-grouse in Wyoming
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-18)Habitat loss is widely recognized as the primary cause of global declines in biodiversity and is linked to human disturbances through widespread land-use changes (Menon et al., 2001). As a consequence, wildlife species ...
