Studies to assess natural resource recovery and evaluate monitoring methods for restored bottomland hardwood forests Open
The Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration process assesses natural resource injury due to oil or chemical spills and calculates the damages to compensate the public for those injuries. Ecological restoration provides a means f…

Sicklefin Chub (Macrhybopsis meeki) and Sturgeon Chub (M. gelida) Temporal and Spatial Patterns from Extant Population Monitoring and Habitat Data Spanning 23 Years Open
Sicklefin (Macrhybopsis meeki) and sturgeon chub (M. gelida) historically occurred throughout the Missouri River (MR), in some tributaries, and Mississippi River downstream of the MR. They have been species of U.S. state-level conservation…

Visitor Use and Activities Detected Using Trail Cameras at Forest Restoration Sites Open
We used trail cameras to monitor human visits and activities at two sites in northeast Indiana being restored to bottomland hardwood forests. These sites, managed as nature preserves, are close to cities, where trails and parking lots have…

Interaction between transect design and animal distribution in distance sampling of deer Open
We conducted a simulation study to evaluate the consequences of violating statistical assumptions of distance sampling (DS) on the bias and precision of population estimates of white‐tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ). Distance samplin…

Natural and anthropogenic factors and their interactions drive stream community integrity in a North American river basin at a large spatial scale Open
Urbanization, agriculture, and other human activities can exert considerable influence on the health and integrity of stream ecosystems. These influences vary greatly over space, time, and scale. We investigated trends in stream biotic int…

Efficient mammal biodiversity surveys for ecological restoration monitoring Open
Efficient biodiversity surveys are critical for successful restoration monitoring and management. We studied the effect of varying sampling effort on the observed species richness of surveys of small mammals (trapping transects), bats (pas…

Population viability analyses for three<i>Macrhybopsis</i>spp. of the Lower Missouri River Open
Recent declines in three species of chubs that inhabit the lower Missouri River (shoal chub M. hyostoma, sicklefin chub M. meeki and sturgeon chub M. gelida) have become a concern in the management of their own populations and the endanger…

Potential responses of the Lower Missouri River Shovelnose Sturgeon (<i>Scaphirhynchus platorynchus</i>) population to a commercial fishing ban Open
We developed an age-structured population matrix model to perform population viability analysis for Lower Missouri River (LMR) shovelnose sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus). We investigated potential effects of the commercial fishing m…
