Ecology, management, and conservation implications of North American beaver (Castor canadensis) in dryland streams

Olden}, journal={Aquatic Conservation-marine and Freshwater Ecosystems}, year={2014}, volume={24}, pages={391-409} }
After near-extirpation in the early 20th century, beaver populations are increasing throughout many parts of North America. Simultaneously, there is an emerging interest in employing beaver activity for stream restoration in arid and semi-arid environments (collectively, ‘drylands’), where streams and adjacent riparian ecosystems are expected to face heightened challenges from climate change and human population growth.
Despite growing interest in reintroduction programmes, surprisingly little…

Beaver-induced changes to habitat quality, stability, and connectivity may increase spotted frog population resistance and resilience to seasonal drought, grazing, non-native predators, and climate change, factors which threaten local or regional persistence.

It is concluded that the practice and implementation of beaver-related restoration has outpaced research on its efficacy and best practices and further scientific research is necessary, especially research that informs the establishment of clear guidelines for best practices.

Livestock management, beaver, and climate influences on riparian vegetation in a semi-arid landscape
- Environmental SciencePloS one
- 2018
It is shown that livestock management which emphasizes riparian recovery objectives can be an important precursor to beaver activity and it is described 11–39% increases in floodplain vegetation productivity where conservation-oriented grazing approaches or livestock exclosures and highBeaver activity occur together on low-gradient sites.
Beaver dams shift desert fish assemblages toward dominance by non-native species (Verde River, Arizona, USA)
- Environmental Science
- 2015
This study provides the first evidence that, relative to unimpounded lotic habitat, beaver ponds in arid and semi-arid rivers support abundant non- native fishes; these ponds could thus serve as important non-native source areas and negatively impact co-occurring native fish populations.
