A multi-scale test of the forage maturation hypothesis in a partially migratory ungulate population
Download2008
McDermid, G., Hebblewhite, M., Merrill, E.
The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) proposes that ungulate migration is driven by selection for high forage quality. Because quality declines with plant maturation, but intake declines at low biomass, ungulates are predicted to select for intermediate forage biomass to maximize energy intake...

McCauley, E., Lewis, Mark A., Lutscher, F.
The question how aquatic populations persist in rivers when individuals are constantly lost due to downstream drift has been termed the “drift paradox.” Recent modeling approaches have revealed diffusion-mediated persistence as a solution. We study logistically growing populations with and...

Evaluating wildlife passage use and discovery for small and medium sized mammals in an Eastern Canadian boreal forest

Martinig, April Robin, Desrochers, André , Jaeger, Jochen
Paper presented at the 100th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America in 2015. BACKGROUND/QUESTION/METHODS: While many studies have looked at how large mammals respond to road mitigation measures, few studies have examined the effects on smaller mammals or taken a multispecies...

While many studies have evaluated wildlife passage effectiveness, few have explored how accurately passage activity can be modelled. I created a habitat suitability index (HSI) model for American mink (Neovison vison) using Geographic Information Systems with 17 wildlife passages located in Quebe...

Hurd, T.E., Kloppers, E.L., St. Clair, C.C.
Wildlife habituation near urban centers can disrupt natural ecological processes, destroy habitat, and threaten public safety. Consequently, management of habituated animals is typically invasive and often includes translocation of these animals to remote areas and sometimes even their...

Sequential decision-making in a variable environment: modeling elk movement in Yellowstone National Park as a dynamic game.
Download2007
Potapov, A. B., Noonburg, E. G., Newman, L. A., Lewis, M. A., Crabtree, R. L.
We develop a suite of models with varying complexity to predict elk movement behavior during the winter on the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park (YNP). The models range from a simple representation of optimal patch choice to a dynamic game, and we show how the underlying theory in each...

Taking a Multispecies Approach to Evaluating the Effectiveness of Wildlife Passages for Small and Medium Sized Mammals in an Eastern Canadian Boreal Forest
Download2015-09-21
Descrochers, André, Jaeger, Jochen, Martinig, April Robin
Poster presented at the International Conference on Ecology and Transportation in 2015. Research is an investigation into the effectiveness of three different types of wildlife passages along Highway 175 in northern Quebec for small and medium sized mammals using infrared cameras. Two research...
