Abstract Invasive species are suspected to be major contributors biodiversity declines worldwide. Counterintuitively, however, invasive effects likely scale dependent and hypothesized positively related at large spatial scales. Past studies investigating the effect of invasion on have been mostly conducted small scales (<100 m 2 ) that cannot represent dynamic landscapes by design. Therefore, replicated experimental evidence supporting a negative plants is lacking across many landscape...
Abstract Global climate change is causing increased extremes threatening biodiversity and altering ecosystems. Climate comprised of many variables including air temperature, barometric pressure, solar radiation, wind, relative humidity, precipitation that interact with each other. As movement connects various aspects an animal's life, understanding how influences at a fine‐temporal scale will be critical to the long‐term conservation species impacted by change. The sedentary nature...
Abstract Climate change is predicted to increase the intensity and frequency of weather extremes (e.g., extreme heat drought), which will likely affect wildlife species in significant ways. Maintaining landscape heterogeneity has been suggested as a potential conservation strategy buffer animals from extremes. Because animal movement influences survival population connectivity, understanding space use response shifts useful for wildlife. Nonmigratory are be more negatively affected by...
Abstract Diel and seasonal rhythms affect an animal's environment life history. Understanding how these influence movement increases our knowledge on animals adjust to changing resources, environmental conditions, risk their survival. To better understand diel animals, we evaluated movements of Northern Bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus , hereafter bobwhite). Because bobwhite are a small non‐migratory species that must cope with daily changes in year‐around, they model study animal species. GPS...
The Northern Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) is a highly migratory owl that occurs throughout North America. Banding stations have studied the habits of this species, but these studies rarely collect significant data regarding origin migrant birds captured in midwestern United States. In last 20 years ecology has been broadly; however, little known how different populations may interact with one another. Many avian species large geographic ranges often breed and winter separate areas....
