The habitat accommodation model (HAM) is a theoretical framework that predicts wildlife
community recovery based on their habitat requirements. While post-fire habitat-related …

Ongoing declines of bees and other pollinators are driven in part by the loss of critical floral
resources and nesting substrates. Most conservation/restoration efforts for bees aim to …

Many forest dwelling species faces increasing shortage of natural shelters as tree cavities
due to a decline of the abundance of large, old trees, eliminated from the forest stands by …

Timber harvesting practises can lead to loss of suitable nesting opportunities and thus have
a negative impact on reproductive success and abundance of arboreal species. For many …

Small mammal abundances are frequently limited by resource availability, but predators can
exert strong lethal (mortality) and nonlethal (eg, nest abandonment) limitations. Artificially …

Old forests are often patchily distributed in contemporary forested landscapes leading to
conservation concerns for species dependent on these forest types. In the absence of broad …

Nest boxes and other human‐made constructions have been widely and successfully used
as conservation tools to increase nest‐availability for hollow‐dependent fauna, especially …

Genomic tools are now commonly used to assess the genetic diversity and genetic structure
of species and populations, and they provide the ability to describe and address the …

Species rarity is often an important driver of conservation priorities in lieu of greater
knowledge of extinction risk. Land management agencies often prioritize management …

The red tree vole (Arborimus longicaudus) is an arboreal Arvicoline rodent endemic to
conifer dominated forests of western Oregon and northwestern California. While commonly …
