  1. The Importance of Urban Habitat Connectivity and Influence on Native Avian Species and Community Science

    In what ways do small-scale urban backyards contribute to local bird abundance and biodiversity? In what ways might these yards serve as an ‘extension’ of neighboring native forest areas? This project...

  2. Community Science and the Ecological Merits of Backyard Habitat Patches and Adjacent Green-Spaces for Urban Avian Species

    In what ways do small-scale urban backyards contribute to local bird abundance and biodiversity? In what ways might these yards serve as an ‘extension’ of neighboring native forest areas? This project...

  3. Nesting Microhabitat Use by a Ground-nesting Songbird: Strict Preferences or Random Choice?

    Nest site choice of birds has the potential to affect predation rates on nests and reproductive success for many bird species, and is thus tied closely to fitness. Vegetation at a particular site influences...

  4. Experimental Analysis of Nest-Site Choice and its Relationship to Nest Success in an Open-Cup–Nesting Passerine

    Nest placement presumably reflects selection for secure sites to minimize failure. Most tests of this hypothesis, however, have failed to support it. We used artificial nests (ARTs) to experimentally evaluate...

  5. Winter Diet of Bobolink, a Long-Distance Migratory Grassland Bird, Inferred from Feather Isotopes

    Effective conservation of migratory bird populations depends on advancements in our understanding of processes throughout the life cycle. Fundamental information about wintering ecology (e.g., habitat use and...

  6. Using Landsat TM Imagery to Monitor Vegetation Change Following Flow Restoration to the Lower Owens River, California

    Rehabilitating river corridors to restore valuable riparian habitat consumes significant resources from both governments and private companies. Given these considerable expenditures, it is important to monitor...

  7. The Gate and Other Stories

    The Gate is a collection of short stories by Cassondra Bird Combs. Combs' first collection is heavily inspired by the small Northern California towns she grew up in, and the disillusioned characters who live...

  8. A Flux-Focusing Cycloidal Magnetic Gearbox

    This paper investigates the performance of a -25:1 gear ratio cycloidal magnetic gearbox (CMG) with a flux-focusing rotor topology. The performance of the CMG is investigated by conducting an iterative...

  9. Empirical Evidence for the Scale Dependence of Biotic Interactions

    Aim: Although it is recognized that ecological patterns are scale dependent, the exact scales over which specific ecological processes operate are still a matter of controversy. In particular, understanding the...

  10. Torque Density Comparison of Axial and Radial Halbach Couplings

    This digests presents the closed form 3-D analytical equations for an axial and radial Halbach rotor magnetic coupling. The closed form equations give insight into the upper torque density limits of NdFeB based...
