Landscape and traffic factors influencing deer–vehicle collisions in an urban enviroment

JW Ng, C Nielsen, CC St. Clair - Human-Wildlife Conflicts, 2008 - JSTOR
Deer–vehicle collisions (DVCs) are steadily increasing across North America. The increase
is particularly pronounced in urban green spaces where deer (Odocoileus spp.) populations …

Predator-resembling aversive conditioning for managing habituated wildlife

EL Kloppers, CC St. Clair, TE Hurd - Ecology and Society, 2005 - JSTOR
Wildlife habituation near urban centers can disrupt natural ecological processes, destroy
habitat, and threaten public safety. Consequently, management of habituated animals is …

Tufted puffin reproduction reveals ocean climate variability

C Gjerdrum, AMJ Vallée, CC St. Clair… - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
Anomalously warm sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) are associated with interannual and
decadal variability as well as with long-term climate changes indicative of global warming. …

Path tortuosity and the permeability of roads and trails to wolf movement

J Whittington, CC St. Clair, G Mercer - Ecology and Society, 2004 - JSTOR
Few studies have examined the effects of human development on fine-scale movement
behavior, yet understanding animal movement through increasingly human-dominated …

Corridors for conservation: integrating pattern and process

CLB Chetkiewicz, CC St. Clair… - Annu. Rev. Ecol. Evol …, 2006 - annualreviews.org
Corridors are commonly used to connect fragments of wildlife habitat, yet the identification
of conservation corridors typically neglects processes of habitat selection and movement for …

Spatial responses of wolves to roads and trails in mountain valleys

J Whittington, CC St. Clair, G Mercer - Ecological applications, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Increasing levels of human activity in mountainous areas have high potential to inhibit animal
movement across and among valleys. We examined how wolves respond to roads, trails, …

Plants integrate information about nutrients and neighbors

…, JJ Haag, EG Lamb, SM Nyanumba, CC St. Clair - Science, 2010 - science.org
Animals regularly integrate information about the location of resources and the presence of
competitors, altering their foraging behavior accordingly. We studied the annual plant …

Riparian corridors enhance movement of a forest specialist bird in fragmented tropical forest

CS Gillies, CC St. Clair - Proceedings of the National …, 2008 - National Acad Sciences
Riparian corridors and fencerows are hypothesized to increase the persistence of forest
animals in fragmented landscapes by facilitating movement among suitable habitat patches. …

Anthropogenic noise decreases urban songbird diversity and may contribute to homogenization

DS Proppe, CB Sturdy, CC St. Clair - Global change biology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
More humans reside in urban areas than at any other time in history. Protected urban green
spaces and transportation greenbelts support many species, but diversity in these areas is …
