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 ... -
Does Landscape-Scale Habitat Reclamation and the Umbrella Species Concept Work to Conserve Sagebrush Songbirds?
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-20)Declines in the spatial extent of the sagebrush ecosystem have prompted the use of conservation strategies including habitat reclamation and the consideration of the greater sage- grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; hereafter ... -
Importance of regional variation in conservation planning: a rangewide example of the Greater Sage‐Grouse
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-10-13)Abstract We developed rangewide population and habitat models for Greater Sage?Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) that account for regional variation in habitat selection and relative densities of birds for use in conservation ... -
The Influence of Mitigation on Sage-Grouse Habitat Selection within an Energy Development Field
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Growing global energy demands ensure the continued growth of energy development. Energy development in wildlife areas can significantly impact wildlife populations. Efforts to mitigate development impacts to wildlife are ... -
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 ... -
Landscapes for Energy and Wildlife: Conservation Prioritization for Golden Eagles across Large Spatial Scales
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Proactive conservation planning for species requires the identification of important spatial attributes across ecologically relevant scales in a model-based framework. However, it is often difficult to develop predictive ... -
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 ...
