Coastal wetlands across the Southeastern U.S. coastline are among the most productive ecosystems worldwide, but are expected to experience challenges due to human alterations of the landscape, sea-level rise, and changing frequency of extreme events. Wetlands provide critical ec…
White-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) are hyperabundant in parts of Thousand Islands National Park because of their ecological impact on its forests. To manage the high number of deer on Hill Island, an annual population reduction occurs in the park. This study is intende…
In many rural regions of Amazonia, hunting, and game meat are important sources of food and cash income but hunters who hold substantial local ecological knowledge (LEK) are often criticized for depleting wildlife. In this thesis, I examine the potential of LEK household surveys…
A graph consists of vertices and edges, connecting pairs of vertices. The subject of graph generation has a long history. Initial research focused on creating catalogues of graphs of small size. It has proved useful for creating input instances for different graph algorithms as …
