Detectability, philopatry, and the distribution of dispersal distances in vertebrates.
- W. Koenig, D. V. Van Vuren, P. Hooge
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 December 1996
Dispersal is of central importance to population biology, behavioral ecology and conservation. However, because field studies are based on finite study areas, nearly all dispersal distributions for… Expand
Social Mating System and Sex-Biased Dispersal in Mammals and Birds: A Phylogenetic Analysis
- K. Mabry, Erin L. Shelley, K. E. Davis, D. Blumstein, D. V. Van Vuren
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 6 March 2013
The hypothesis that patterns of sex-biased dispersal are related to social mating system in mammals and birds has gained widespread acceptance over the past 30 years. However, two major complications… Expand
Effects of urbanization on carnivore species distribution and richness
- Miguel A. Ordeñana, K. Crooks, +9 authors D. V. Van Vuren
- Geography
- 16 December 2010
Abstract Urban development can have multiple effects on mammalian carnivore communities. We conducted a meta-analysis of 7,929 photographs from 217 localities in 11 camera-trap studies across coastal… Expand
Prevalence of and associated risk factors for shedding Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts and Giardia cysts within feral pig populations in California.
- E. Atwill, R. A. Sweitzer, M. G. Pereira, I. Gardner, D. V. Van Vuren, W. Boyce
- Biology, Medicine
- Applied and environmental microbiology
- 1 October 1997
Populations of feral pigs (Sus scrofa) may serve as an environmental reservoir of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts and Giardia sp. cysts for source water. We conducted a cross-sectional study to… Expand
The Ecology and Macroecology of Mammalian Home Range Area
- D. Kelt, D. V. Van Vuren
- Biology, Medicine
- The American Naturalist
- 1 June 2001
Although many studies employ allometric relationships to demonstrate possible dependence of various traits on body mass, the relationship between home range size and body mass has been perhaps the… Expand
HABITAT ASSOCIATIONS OF SMALL MAMMALS AT TWO SPATIAL SCALES IN THE NORTHERN SIERRA NEVADA
- S. A. Coppeto, D. Kelt, D. V. Van Vuren, J. A. Wilson, S. Bigelow
- Biology
- 21 April 2006
Abstract Effective management strategies require an understanding of the spatial scale at which fauna use their habitat. Toward this end, we sampled small mammals in the northern Sierra Nevada,… Expand
Influence of population density and climate on the demography of subalpine golden-mantled ground squirrels
- Éva Kneip, D. V. Van Vuren, Jeffrey A. Hostetler, M. Oli
- Biology
- 15 April 2011
Abstract Temporal fluctuation in abundance is common in many wildlife populations, but the causes and consequences to population dynamics of these fluctuations remain poorly understood. We used… Expand
Genetic differentiation of island spotted skunks, Spilogale gracilis amphiala
- C. H. Floyd, D. V. Van Vuren, +5 authors B. May
- Biology
- 16 February 2011
Abstract The island spotted skunk (Spilogale gracilis amphiala) is endemic to the 2 largest California Channel Islands, Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa. Unlike the island fox (Urocyon littoralis) and… Expand
Home Range and Parasite Diversity in Mammals
- F. Bordes, S. Morand, D. Kelt, D. V. Van Vuren
- Biology, Medicine
- The American Naturalist
- 20 February 2009
Parasite diversity among and within host species is not solely the result of random processes; rather, it depends on a suite of physiological or ecological host traits as well as environmental… Expand
