We examined home range habitat composition and preferred habitats within home ranges for Northern bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus) broods during the breeding seasons (April 1 – October 31) of 2003 – 2006 on Sehoy ...

Ecological Associations of Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) in the Upper Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, Alabama

Kilgore, Charles (2008-12-15)

Relatively little is known about most of the 15 species of bats in Alabama. Especially scarce are data on species occurring in southern Alabama, including the Mobile-Tensaw Delta region. Because there are significant ...

Ecology of Raccoons in Central Alabama: A Study of Survival, Space Use, and Habitat Selection

Fisher, Christine (2007-05-15)

Population characteristics of raccoons (Procyon lotor) vary across time and geographic regions; biological information acquired in one region, at one time, may not be pertinent to other regions in other times. In Alabama, ...

Efficiency of Surveying, Baiting, and Trapping Wild Pigs at Fort Benning, Georgia

Williams, Brian Lee (2009-12-16)

Survival, home range, and habitat use are key components of feral pig ecology that can help wildlife biologists and land managers develop control methods for this species. Feral pigs were captured and released with ...

Food Habits and Anthropogenic Supplementation in the Diet of Coyotes (Canis latrans) Along an Urban-Rural Gradient

Santana, Erica (2010-08-11)

Coyotes are recent colonists of the Southeast and have broadened their niche to include exploitation of urban areas. The aim of my study was to examine diet of coyotes inhabiting areas of differential development by humans ...

Genetic Analysis of Dispersal and Population Dynamics of the Southeastern Coyote (Canis latrans)

Dennis, Dalinda (2010-05-13)

Two different types of genetic analyses, phylogeography and population genetics, were completed on coyotes (Canis latrans) across the Central Plains, Midwestern, and Southeastern United States. The first goal of this study ...

Habitat Associations Among Bats on Redstone Arsenal, Alabama

Gardner, Sara (2008-12-15)

As forests become more fragmented, more research about use of forests by bats at the landscape level is needed. I employed 2 methods to investigate use of forest by foraging bats; mist-net surveys and ultrasonic-detection ...

Home Range, Activity Patterns, and Habitat Selection of the Coyote (Canis latrans) Along an Urban-Rural Gradient

Jantz, Holly (2011-08-02)

Throughout the past several decades, coyotes (Canis latrans) have become common inhabitants of urban areas in the southeastern United States. Because their southward expansion is recent, there is a lack of information on ...
