On the evolutionary history and population genetic structure of the North American mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus)
DownloadSpring 2012
The spatiotemporal scale at which genetic diversity is assessed can provide insights into both broad- and fine-scale patterns in ecology and evolution. I examined the distribution of genetic diversity and the evolutionary history of the North American mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus). I first...

Projecting boreal bird responses to climate change considering uncertainty, refugia, vegetation lags, and post-glaciation history
DownloadSpring 2016
Often referred to as North America’s bird nursery, the boreal forest biome provides a productive environment for breeding birds, supporting high species diversity and bird numbers. These birds are likely to shift their distributions northward in response to rapid climate change over the next...

Trade-offs between predation risk and forage differ between migrant strategies in a migratory ungulate
Download2009
Trade-offs between predation risk and forage fundamentally drive resource selection by animals. Among migratory ungulates, trade-offs can occur at large spatial scales through migration, which allows an \"escape'' from predation, but trade-offs can also occur at finer spatial scales. Previous...

Fall 2017
The degree to which predator and prey distributions overlap in space influences the probability of encounters between predator and prey, kills of prey, and consequently, how each species’ abundance varies in time and in space. Predator and prey attempt to increase or decrease overlap respectively...
