Alyssa Marquez 2019  |
Response of headwater amphibians to long-term logging impacts and assessing potential for restoration in Redwood National and State Parks Alyssa is studying the long-term impacts of logging on headwater amphibian populations, specifically occupancy. Her research takes place in two adjacent watersheds in the Redwood National and State Parks in Northern California. One watershed is highly degraded from historic logging practices and...

Katrina Smith 2018  |
Evaluating habitat selection models to improve site selection in a population monitoring program for Townsend's big-eared bats (Corynorhinus Townsendii) Katrina’s research focused on the use of habitat selection and species distribution modeling in conjunction with underlying ecological theory to improve a population monitoring program of Townsends’ big eared bats (Corynorhinus townsendii) in a volcanic landscape. She explored the relationship... Read Katrina Smith's bio |
