Designing landscapes for bird conservation in the Southeastern United States 

Moody, Allison (2012-06-22)
The Southeastern United States has high conservation importance because of the region's habitat and species diversity, ecological processes, and evolutionary potential; however, it also warrants strong concern because of ...

Effects of uncertainty on conservation decisions and ecological inference 

Dunham, Kylee (2019-07-23)
Uncertainty is pervasive in ecology and conservation. Ecological systems are dynamic, and therefore inference from observations and subsequent decision-making can be hampered due to observation and process error. Assessing ...

Estimating Use, Density, and Productivity of Eastern Wild Turkey in Alabama 

Gonnerman, Matthew (2017-08-21)
An important component of effectively managing wildlife is understanding the size and structure of their populations. The optimal management action for a population will change depending on its current size and demographic ...

Factors Influencing Microbial Growth and Viability of Wood Duck Eggs 

Walls, Johnathan G. (2011-07-13)
Egg viability in birds declines with increasing length of incubation delay and may be influenced by microbial infection and exposure of eggs to temperatures above physiological zero (>24°C). Reuse of nests is common in ...
