Climate Change Drives Divergent Outcomes for Stream Fishes in the Red River
Gill, Kenneth (2018-12-14)Climate change is expected to alter the distributions of stream fishes in ecosystems around the world, but climate projections vary widely among competing climate models. Conservation practitioners face the challenge of ... -
Evaluating the Impacts of Wastewater on Aquatic Biota in the Red River Basin
Mattes, Hannah (2023-05-12)The capture and reuse of wastewater is a promising strategy for increasing water availability, but the environmental benefits and costs are poorly quantified. In water-limited river basins, wastewater outfalls are an ... -
Identifying habitat use of red deer in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada using a cost-distance time-geographic approach
Ho, Katherine (2021-08)The expressed movements of animals are realizations of complex spatiotemporal processes. The varied environmental contexts (such as varying topography or landcover) in which animals move are central to these processes, ... -
Methods for Mapping Land Cover Change in Shrinking Cities in the United States
Thompson, Emily (2017-05-12)Urbanization is generally understood as the process of growth in both population and developed areas. However, this perception is not entirely reflective of the types of change that are occurring in the heart of the United ... -
Modeling the distribution of native and invasive species of bumble bees (Hymenoptera: apidae) in Chile, using citizen science data
Montalva, Jose (2021)There are around 260 species of bumble bees (Bombus) globally, many of them providing important pollination services. In fact, some species are bred and sold commercially to assure the successful pollination of crops. ... -
Optimizing a Pedestrian Level of Service Analysis in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
Mustain, Monica (2018-05-12)Urban areas across the United States have seen an increase in transportation methods beyond the private automobile. Cities such as Minneapolis, Denver, and Charlotte have added or expanded light rail transit, bike lanes, ... -
Return-on-investment frameworks can increase the efficiency of restoration efforts to improve freshwater connectivity
Fitzpatrick, Kimberly (2017-05-13)With global declines in biodiversity and limited budgets, many conservation organizations are trying to increase the efficiency of conservation efforts. One method is the use of a return-on-investment (ROI) framework, which ... -
A review of the application of databases in freshwater fisheries management and the effect of water quality on the mean relative weight of largemouth bass, crappie, and channel catfish in Oklahoma lakes.
Griffin, Austin; Hoagland, Bruce; Kuklinski, Kurt (2018-05-12)The subject of this thesis is the development and use of databases for use in fisheries management. The thesis consists of two chapters. The first is a literature review of fisheries databases and an overview of my work ... -
STREAM FRAGMENTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITION IN THE GREAT PLAINS
Sleight, Nathan (2017-05-12)Rivers and streams within the Great Plains have undergone extensive levels of fragmentation by road culverts, which has led to habitat loss, degraded water quality, and a loss of aquatic biodiversity. There is a pressing ... -
Use of low-resolution burned area products and implications for fire risk assessment within the wildland-urban interface
Smith, Haley (2019)The impacts of wildfires are socially, economically and ecologically vast and these impacts are often thought to be intensified within the wildland-urban interface (WUI) where structures intermingle with wildland vegetation. ...
