This book chronicles the decades-long work of studying, analyzing, and reversing the environmental pressures that threatened India's Chilika Lagoon, the largest brackish-water lagoon in the region, and the second largest in the world. Designated as one of India's first Ramsar Si…
Understanding the mechanisms underlying dynamics of animal populations is critical to planning appropriate management actions for species of concern. Greater Sage-grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus ; hereafter “sage-grouse”) face many threats across their range in North America.…
Many aspects of the evolution and biogeography of land snails remain unexplored for all but the most well studied families in select few areas of the world. The evolutionary history of land snails is further complicated by their poor fossil record especially in extant centers of…
Captive breeding and reintroduction are key to modern conservation, but high predation of released animals means reintroductions often fail. The captive environment can provide individuals with little opportunity to learn about predators or alarm calls. As a consequence, captive…
Variation at functional genes involved in immune response is of increasing concern as wildlife diseases continue to emerge and threaten populations. The amount of standing genetic variation in a population is directly associated with its potential for rapid adaptation to novel e…
This dissertation investigates the ecology and distribution of amphibians, parasites, and their interactions within aquatic ecosystems. Throughout my dissertation, I use quantitative tools and field observations to examine the factors limiting distributions of amphibians and the…
This study focuses on the Kenyan Amboseli landscape, which comprises the Amboseli National Park and six neighbouring Maasai community Group Ranches, namely Mbirikani, Kuku, Kimana, Eselengei, Ologulului-Ololorashi Ologulului, and Rombo. Over the past five decades, Amboseli has b…
The decrease in number and range of North American large carnivores, has often all owed smaller carnivores ( < 15 kg) to fill the role of the top predator. This has favored some carnivores such as coyotes (<em>Canis latrans</em>), who have expanded their distribut…
Invasive plant species present a growing threat to biodiversity. Many invasive plants are able to recruit microbial symbionts in their novel range and establish plant-soil feedbacks that influence growth and fitness. These alterations, referred to as soil legacy effects, can lin…
