Estimating site occupancy and detection probability parameters for meso- and large mammals in a coastal eosystem Estimating site occupancy and detection probability parameters for meso- and large mammals in a coastal eosystem
Large-scale, multispecies monitoring programs are widely used to assess changes in wildlife populations but they often assume constant detectability when documenting species occurrence. This assumption is rarely met in practice because animal populations vary across time and space. As a result, detectability of a species can be influenced by a number of physical, biological, or...

Contribution of natural history collection data to biodiversity assessment in national parks Contribution of natural history collection data to biodiversity assessment in national parks
There has been mounting interest in the use of museum and herbaria collections to assess biodiversity; information is often difficult to locate and access, however, and few recommendations are available for effectively using natural history collections. As part of an effort to inventory vertebrates and vascular plants in U.S. national parks, we searched manually and by computer for...

Evaluation of genetic variability in a small, insular population of spruce grouse Evaluation of genetic variability in a small, insular population of spruce grouse
Using microsatellite markers we determined genetic variability for two populations of spruce grouse in eastern North America, one on a coastal Maine island where breeding habitat is limited and highly fragmented, the other in central New Brunswick (NB), where suitable breeding habitat is generally contiguous across the region. We examined six markers for both populations and all were...

Status and habitat relationships of northern flying squirrels on Mount Desert Island, Maine Status and habitat relationships of northern flying squirrels on Mount Desert Island, Maine
Northern (Glaucomys sabrinus) and southern (G. volans) flying squirrels occur in Maine, but there is uncertainty about range overlap in southcentral Maine where the southern flying squirrel reaches its geographic range limit. We surveyed flying squirrels on Mount Desert Island (MDI), located along the central Maine coast, to update the current status and distribution of these species. We
