▼ For more than 100 years, artificial artesian wells in the San Luis Valley of south-central Colorado have been a steady source of water for livestock and wildlife on lands administered by Great Sand Dunes National Park and The Nature Conservancy. In summer 2011, a study was established to examine effects on local biota of capping the artesian wells in 2010. In Chapter 1, I focused on the short-term effects of capping artesian well sites and the effects on the population dynamics and species diversity of small mammals. In 2011 and 2012, I compared newly capped well sites, well sites with water, and reference sites by estimating density (Program DISTANCE), survival (Cormack-Jolly-Seber Model in Program MARK), species occupancy (Robust Occupancy Model in Program MARK), and measures of species diversity (species richness, Shannon-Weiner index, and species evenness) of small mammals. I modeled small mammal density and survival as a function of well site type, percent plant cover, disturbance level from ungulates, and year of study using an information theoretic approach to rank models and estimate the relative importance of the independent variables. Over the two years, I captured 1,150 individuals of 6 rodent species; however, only two species, Ord's kangaroo rat (Dipodomys ordii) and Apache or plains pocket mice (Perognathus sp.), had sufficient numbers for density and survival analyses. There was no significant difference in density and survival estimates for these species at the well types; however species occupancy estimates varied by well type and by species such that open well sites had the greatest probability of occupancy of the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), and reference sites had the greatest probability of occupancy of the thirteen-lined ground squirrel (Spermophilus tridecemlineatus). For the kangaroo rat density and survival, the type of well site was important with greatest values at capped well sites. For pocket mice, the disturbance level by ungulates and year of study were important predictors of density and survival; density was negatively correlated with amount of disturbance and survival nearly doubled from 2011 to 2012. Richness, the Shannon-Weiner diversity index and community evenness values were greatest at reference sites. Results suggest that in the short term, small mammal density and survival does not increase after a well is capped, species occupancy is variable, and diversity does not change. Additional studies are needed to provide a better understanding of the long-term changes in small mammal population dynamics and biodiversity as capped well sites continue to revert to habitats similar to reference sites. In Chapter 2, I concentrated on the short-term effects of capping wells on the plant community with a focus on secondary ecological succession. I characterized the habitats at sampled sites by identifying plant species (native and exotic) and examining potential sources of variation by modeling plant cover and species frequency as a function of variables such as well site type,… Advisors/Committee Members: Bowser, Gillian (advisor), Wilson, Kenneth R.

▼ Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease with global significance. At the end of 2008, rabies emerged in the Island of Bali, Indonesia, drawing international attention. As the disease became wide-spread, the government focused on island-wide mass vaccination of dogs and improving public awareness, however the local dog population is not well documented. The Center for Indonesian Veterinary Analytical Studies (CIVAS), a local non-government organization in Indonesia, and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) initiated a project to explore the link between the dog population and local communities in Bali with focus on the impact of this relationship in the spread of rabies. As part of that project, the objective of the study is to (1) characterize the demographics and rabies vaccination of owned and free-roaming dogs and (2) estimate the abundance and identify factors associated with the distribution of the dogs in Bali. The study was conducted on two dog subpopulations, owned and free-roaming dogs, in 310 banjars in Denpasar city, Gianyar district, and Karangasem district in Bali. Banjar is a subvillage structure in Bali. The sampling design was a two-stage sampling with villages as the primary sampling unit and banjars as the secondary sampling unit. Data were collected between March 2011 and March 2012. Survey of owned dogs was carried out through door to door interview of owners and photographic mark recapture was used to collect data on free-roaming dogs. Dogs were predominantly owned and the effect of unowned dogs towards the total population was minimal. Demographically, the sex ratio was male-biased and juveniles make up 15-20% of the population. Free-roaming dogs were dominated by adults and a higher proportion of males. There were differences in the demographics of dogs in urban and non-urban areas which should be considered when planning and implementing control programs. Overall vaccination coverage was high (>70%), however juveniles and females have a higher likelihood of not being vaccinated. The endurance of vaccination collars should be improved to better represent the true vaccination coverage in free-roaming dogs as there is high confidence that most free-roaming dogs were actually owned dogs. Recent culling was associated with increased proportions of juveniles and a 40% higher risk of dogs not being vaccinated. The observation of free-roaming dogs should always account for detection probability as only 20% of dogs in this study were seen at any given time. Failure to account for detection probability will result in severe underestimation of the population abundance. The human population, presence of a forest and recent culling accounted for 28% of variation in the number of owned dogs in banjars. Accordingly, the number of owned dogs and presence of rice paddies accounted for 61% of variation in the number of free-roaming dogs in banjars. Finally, the overall and median human to dog ratios were the least biased ratios available for estimating the overall dog population, however it… Advisors/Committee Members: Salman, M. D.

▼ Anthropogenic disturbances are increasingly recognized for effects on the behavior and physiology of wildlife species. Military training, a potential source of disturbance, has shown mixed behavioral and physiological effects on wildlife, including mountain ungulates. Dall sheep (Ovis dalli dalli) are an important species for hunting and wildlife viewing in Alaska and have shown an aversion to some forms of human disturbance such as direct overflights. Military training is expanding into potential Dall sheep habitat on two training areas of Fort Wainwright, Alaska; Molybdenum Ridge and Black Rapids Training Area. I placed camera traps in expected optimal and sub-optimal Dall sheep habitat to estimate the spatiotemporal habitat use of sheep and to make training recommendations to the U.S. military. Then, I further explored the available data and estimated the habitat use of species in four different mammalian guilds and the co-occurrence of habitat use between apex predators and potential prey species. In Chapter 1, I introduce the impetus for the study, the use of 54 camera traps in respect to mountain sheep, and the overall study design. My cameras captured over 8,000 images of sheep during the continuous 15-month sampling period. I successfully captured images of sheep traveling, foraging, resting, and interacting with other individuals. Occupancy models of detection-non-detection data suggest that abiotic covariates including slope, snow depth, and distance to escape terrain were the most important factors determining habitat use. Seasonal differences in habitat use suggested higher use of the Molybdenum Ridge study site during pre-rut, rut, winter, and lambing seasons with limited use during the summer, while habitat use estimates of Black Rapids were too imprecise to make broader inferences. Detection probabilities were temporally constant, but were positively correlated with cameras on a wildlife trail. From these results, I recommend that the U.S. Army concentrates training on Molybdenum Ridge during the early-July to early-September period and minimize training on both study sites during the lambing periods of May and June. If training were to occur on Molybdenum Ridge outside of this period, training should be concentrated around the easternmost valley/bowl of the ridge and the eastern half of the major south-facing slope of the ridgeline. In Chapter 2, I expanded upon the analysis of Dall sheep habitat use and investigated the alpine habitat use of ten species within four mammalian guilds. I analyzed how spatial covariates and temporal patterns correlated with habitat use of these species within and between guilds. Further, I modeled two-species occupancy of grizzly bears and wolves with different prey species (e.g., caribou and sheep). My results suggest that small and large herbivore habitat use positively correlated with vegetation and rock ground coverages, while large herbivores also correlated with broader abiotic covariates. Meso- and apex predator detections were sparse possibly… Advisors/Committee Members: Doherty, Paul F. (advisor), Aldridge, Cameron (committee member), Bagley, Calvin F. (committee member).

▼ Species in alpine habitat occupy high elevation areas with limited scope for upslope migration, and as a result are expected to react sensitively to climate-caused habitat alteration. Changes in temperature are causing an advancement of treeline and rearrangement of habitat and species distributions. Alpine birds in particular are predicted to be impacted by climate change, especially species that breed in and are endemic to this ecosystem. In order to understand just how sensitively alpine birds will respond if their habitat structure is altered by climate change, determining the fine-scale mechanisms driving their current relationships with alpine habitat is important. In Chapter 1, I discuss some of the relationships between birds and their surrounding environment and the importance of understanding these species-habitat interactions. I introduce the alpine breeding focal species and how some of these avian species have exhibited population declines in Colorado. I also present my research objectives that aimed to understand breeding avifauna abundance in relation to fine-scale habitat features (Chapter 2), and how specific habitat characteristics drive important breeding site selection for an alpine endemic species (Chapter 3). Chapters 2 and 3 (described below) are data chapters written in a format to be submitted for journal publications. In Chapter 2, I test how fine-scale habitat and environmental characteristics influence abundance of avian species breeding in Colorado's alpine ecosystem. I provide results on how abundance and occurrence of these breeding species were influenced by abiotic, biotic, anthropogenic, temporal, and spatial factors in the alpine. Biotic components affected the abundance of all three of the breeding birds that we modeled using count data; American pipit (Anthus rubescens), horned lark (Eremophila alpestris), and white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys oriantha). However, abiotic, anthropogenic, spatial and temporal factors also contributed to their abundance and occurrence. Knowing which fine-scale factors influence these alpine species' abundance the most, will allow us to prioritize conservation efforts for each particular species, and improve our ability to predict how their abundance will change if alpine habitat is altered in response to climate change. In Chapter 3, I ask how fine-scale habitat and environmental characteristics influence nest and brood-site selection by breeding white-tailed ptarmigan (Lagopus leucura) in Colorado's alpine. I conducted analyses across multiple spatial scales: patch and site level, at nesting and brood-rearing sites. Forage resources and protective cover were the prominent features driving selection at these two alpine sites during both breeding periods. Specifically, nest site selection at the patch scale was more influenced by percent cover of forage forbs, rock and gravel, and shrubs and willows. However, at the site scale, we found hens selected nest sites when percentage of graminoid cover was less and elevations were lower. Hens… Advisors/Committee Members: Aldridge, Cameron L.

▼ In the field of survey statistics, finite population quantities are often estimated based on complex survey data. In this thesis, estimation of the finite population total of a study variable is considered. The study variable is available for the sample and is supplemented by auxiliary information, which is available for every element in the finite population. Following a model-assisted framework, estimators are constructed that exploit the relationship which may exist between the study variable and ancillary data. These estimators have good design properties regardless of model accuracy. Nonparametric survey regression estimation is applicable in natural resource surveys where the relationship between the auxiliary information and study variable is complex and of an unknown form. Breidt, Claeskens, and Opsomer (2005) proposed a penalized spline survey regression estimator and studied its properties when the number of knots is fixed. To build on their work, the asymptotic properties of the penalized spline regression estimator are considered when the number of knots goes to infinity and the locations of the knots are allowed to change. The estimator is shown to be design consistent and asymptotically design unbiased. In the course of the proof, a result is established on the uniform convergence in probability of the survey-weighted quantile estimators. This result is obtained by deriving a survey-weighted Hoeffding inequality for bounded random variables. A variance estimator is proposed and shown to be design consistent for the asymptotic mean squared error. Simulation results demonstrate the usefulness of the asymptotic approximations. Also in natural resource surveys, a substantial amount of auxiliary information, typically derived from remotely-sensed imagery and organized in the form of spatial layers in a geographic information system (GIS), is available. Some of this ancillary data may be extraneous and a sparse model would be appropriate. Model selection methods are therefore warranted. The 'least absolute shrinkage and selection operator' (lasso), presented by Tibshirani (1996), conducts model selection and parameter estimation simultaneously by penalizing the sum of the absolute values of the model coefficients. A survey-weighted lasso criterion, which accounts for the sampling design, is derived and a survey-weighted lasso estimator is presented. The root-n design consistency of the estimator and a central limit theorem result are proved. Several variants of the survey-weighted lasso estimator are constructed. In particular, a calibration estimator and a ridge regression approximation estimator are constructed to produce lasso weights that can be applied to several study variables. Simulation studies show the lasso estimators are more efficient than the regression estimator when the true model is sparse. The lasso estimators are used to estimate the proportion of tree canopy cover for a region of Utah. Under a joint design-model framework, the survey-weighted lasso coefficients are… Advisors/Committee Members: Breidt, F. Jay (advisor), Lee, Thomas, C. M.

▼ Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) populations have periodically declined throughout the western United States, with notable declines during the late 1960s, early 1970s, and 1990s (Unsworth et al. 1999) to present. Declining population levels can be attributed to low fawn survival and subsequently low population recruitment (Unsworth et al. 1999, Pojar and Bowden 2004) caused by declining habitat availability and quality (Gill 2001, Lutz et al. 2003, Watkins et al. 2007, Bergman et al. 2015). Although, general public perception is that declining deer numbers are attributed exclusively to predation (Barsness 1998, Willoughby 2012), predator control research suggests otherwise (Hurley et al. 2011, Kilgo et al. 2014) and compelling evidence exists that improving habitat quality can enhance deer populations (Bishop et al. 2009, Bergman et al. 2014). Complicating this story is the large-scale habitat alterations driven by natural gas development, which may also influence deer population dynamics. Natural gas development and associated disturbances that can affect deer habitat and population dynamics include conversion of native plant communities to drill pads, roads, or noxious weeds and noise pollution from compressor stations, drilling rigs, increased traffic, and year round occurrence of human activities. Natural gas development alters mule deer habitat selection through direct and indirect habitat loss (Sawyer et al. 2006, Sawyer et al. 2009, Northrup et al. 2015). Direct habitat loss results from construction of well pads, access roads, compressor stations, pipelines, and transmission lines. Activity, traffic, and noise associated with increased human presence and development may lead to indirect habitat loss. Indirect habitat loss is exacerbated because active wells produce gas for 40 years or longer (Sawyer et al. 2006, Sawyer et al. 2009). In addition, indirect habitat loss affects considerably larger areas than direct habitat loss (Sawyer et al. 2006, Sawyer et al. 2009). Recent research suggests direct and indirect losses can lead to behavioral responses to development (Sawyer et al. 2006, Dzialak et al. 2011b, Northrup et al. 2015). However, deer can behaviorally mediate these impacts by altering activity patterns or selecting habitat with topographic diversity that provides refuge from development (Northrup et al. 2015). Obtaining a more complete understanding of the potential impacts of development is critical to comprehend population dynamics of deer and to develop viable mitigation options. Understanding how natural gas development and other factors influence reproductive success metrics (e.g., pregnancy, in utero fetal, and fetal survival rates), fetal sex ratio, habitat characteristics of birth and predation sites (i.e., habitat selection), and neonatal (i.e., 0–6 months old) mule deer mortality have been identified as knowledge gaps. Thus, my dissertation focused on addressing these knowledge gaps through individual reproductive success monitoring using vaginal implant transmitters.

▼ Two topics in the analysis of complex survey data are addressed: testing for informative selection and addressing temporal discontinuities due to survey redesign. Informative selection, in which the distribution of response variables given that they are sampled is different from their distribution in the population, is pervasive in modern complex surveys. Failing to take such informativeness into account could produce severe inferential errors, such as biased parameter estimators, wrong coverage rates of confidence intervals, incorrect test statistics, and erroneous conclusions. While several parametric procedures exist to test for informative selection in the survey design, it is often hard to check the parametric assumptions on which those procedures are based. We propose two classes of nonparametric tests for informative selection, each motivated by a nonparametric test for two independent samples. The first nonparametric class generalizes classic two-sample tests that compare empirical cumulative distribution functions, including Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Cramér–von Mises, by comparing weighted and unweighted empirical cumulative distribution functions. The second nonparametric class adapts two-sample tests that compare distributions based on the maximum mean discrepancy to the setting of weighted and unweighted distributions. The asymptotic distributions of both test statistics are established under the null hypothesis of noninformative selection. Simulation results demonstrate the usefulness of the asymptotic approximations, and show that our tests have competitive power with parametric tests in a correctly specified parametric setting while achieving greater power in misspecified scenarios. Many surveys face the problem of comparing estimates obtained with different methodology, including differences in frames, measurement instruments, and modes of delivery. Differences may exist within the same survey; for example, multi-mode surveys are increasingly common. Further, it is inevitable that surveys need to be redesigned from time to time. Major redesign of survey processes could affect survey estimates systematically, and it is important to quantify and adjust for such discontinuities between the designs to ensure comparability of estimates over time. We propose a small area estimation approach to reconcile two sets of survey estimates, and apply it to two surveys in the Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP). We develop a log-normal model for the estimates from the two surveys, accounting for temporal dynamics through regression on population size and state-by-wave seasonal factors, and accounting in part for changing coverage properties through regression on wireless telephone penetration. Using the estimated design variances, we develop a regression model that is analytically consistent with the log-normal mean model. We use the modeled design variances in a Fay-Herriot small area estimation procedure to obtain empirical best linear unbiased predictors of the reconciled effort estimates for all states… Advisors/Committee Members: Breidt, F.

▼ The foundation of effective waterfowl management is an abundant and resilient waterfowl population, which begins with an understanding of what drives population size and growth. Population growth rate is the product of a number of vital rates, all of which remain relatively unknown for the cinnamon teal (Spatula cyanoptera). I investigated the interactions between biotic and abiotic factors influencing the basic demographic rates of cinnamon teal during the breeding season in the San Luis Valley of Colorado. Specifically, I assessed the relationship between the habitat around a selected nest site and cinnamon teal nesting success. Additionally, I evaluated whether a relatively novel approach to surveying social groupings of waterfowl can act as an effective index of breeding effort and success for cinnamon teal, the intraspecific variation in nest attendance patterns during incubation and how it affects nest survival, and the rates at which breeding females and ducklings survive the breeding season. This research has the potential to enhance the understanding of the basic population ecology of this overlooked species and provide information about vital rates that can be used in future analyses and management of the population on a larger scale. I found that cinnamon teal select nest sites with habitat characteristics that are also associated with a higher probability of nest survival (Chapter 2, this thesis). Specifically, I observed cinnamon teal selecting nest sites characterized by a lower proportion of forbs relative to what was available, which were also associated with higher nest survival among the nests I observed. I established that weekly transect surveys assessing the social groupings of cinnamon teal throughout the breeding season have the potential to act as an index of reproductive success if done on a larger scale (both temporally and geographically; Chapter 3, this thesis). I also found differences in the nest attendance patterns during early incubation compared to late incubation, which were also impacted by time of day and temperature (Chapter 4, this thesis). Finally, I estimated breeding season duckling and hen survival rates that were comparable to other waterfowl species and provided suggestions for future cinnamon teal researchers (Chapter 5, this thesis).

▼ The swallow bug, Oeciacus vicarius Horvath is a common ectoparasite primarily associated with cliff swallows, Petrochelidon pyrrhonota (Vieillot). When the mud nests of the cliff swallows are constructed on homes and businesses, swallow bugs often readily enter attics or livable space after the host birds migrate and can cause serious episodes where they may bite humans. To better manage problem situations with swallow bugs a series of studies were conducted to determine the survival of swallow bugs in the absence of their avian host and to evaluate potential methods to monitor and control swallow bugs that do enter buildings. Swallow nests were collected in 2014 and 2015 immediately after nest abandonment and the nest contents sampled periodically for arthropods. Highest numbers of swallow bugs were found in the first sample dates, immediately after collection, averaging 269 swallow bugs/nest in 2014 and 297 swallow bugs/nest in 2015. Numbers of swallow bugs recovered declined sharply in later samples, with reductions at six months of 97.4% of the adults and 96.7% of the nymphs in the 2014 study, and reductions of 81.9% of the adults and 73.7% of the nymphs died in the 2015 study. At 12 months following collection, numbers of adults and nymphs had declined 99% and 98.3% in the 2014 study and 91.7% and 96.1% in the 2015 study. Other notable arthropods recovered from nests included the dermestid Trogoderma simplex Jayne, immature salticid spiders, and the bird flea Ceratophyllus petrochelidoni Wagner. Four traps were evaluated for their ability to capture swallow bugs in an arena test with an introduced swallow bug: a sticky card trap with no attractant (CatchMaster 288i), a carbon dioxide based trap with a collection cup (Bedbug Beacon), a carbon dioxide and heat trap with a bed bug pheromone on a sticky card (Biocare First Response Bed Bug Monitor), and a bed bug pheromone attractant trap with a collecting cup (SenSci Volcano). None of the traps containing attractants showed evidence that they were able to attract swallow bugs. The CatchMaster 288i and BedBug Beacon traps did work well as a passive monitoring device but both the Biocare First Response Monitor and SenSci Volcano SC caught few swallow bugs either because of trap design that allowed the insects to readily escape or prevented their capture due to poor adhesive properties of the glue. Follow-up studies were conducted to evaluate potential attractants in bioassay choice tests, including heat, carbon dioxide, and odors associated with swallow bugs. None of these traps showed evidence of attraction to swallow bugs, suggesting that swallow bugs may use different cues to located hosts than do bed bugs. Efficacies of insecticides for control of swallow bugs were tested in laboratory trials. Treatments included Suspend Polyzone (deltamethrin), Talstar Professional (bifenthrin), Onslaught Fastcap (esfenvalerate, prallethrin, piperonyl butoxide), Temprid (imidacloprid, cyfluthrin), and Phantom (chlorfenapyr).

▼ The selection of a state variable is an important component of any program for monitoring a wildlife population. Annual counts of egg masses have been promoted as an appropriate state variable for monitoring populations of some amphibian species. In Chapters 1 and 2, I evaluate different aspects of the use of counts of egg masses as a state variable for monitoring wood frogs and other pond-breeding amphibians. Specifically, I assessed patterns of detectability in wood frog egg masses and evaluated the statistical power of using counts of egg masses and linear regression to detect trends. In Chapter 1, I used closed capture-recapture models to estimate detection probability and evaluate potential sources of variation in the detectability of wood frog (Rana sylvatica) egg masses. Model selection results and model-averaged estimates provided evidence that detection probability varied between years which emphasize the importance of accounting for detection probability when using egg mass counts to infer population trends in amphibian populations. In Chapter 2, I used computer simulation to evaluate the statistical power of detecting trends in counts of egg masses. A previous study identified important benefits of using counts of egg masses as the state variable in a monitoring programs for wood frogs (e.g., low cost) but did not evaluate the statistical power of this approach. The results of the simulations indicate that a minimum of nine years of monitoring is necessary to achieve high statistical power (≥ 0.80). For populations experiencing low rates of annual decline (≤ 4% annually), two decades or more of monitoring data were required to achieve high levels of power. Unless populations are changing at high rates, counts of wood frog egg masses will be a poor state variable for monitoring programs interested in detecting trends or evaluating the effects of management action or other perturbations. Jeff Tracey designed the computer simulations for this chapter and co-authored the chapter. In Chapter 3, I estimated the proportion of wetlands that were occupied by breeding wood frogs (Rana sylvatica) and boreal chorus frogs (Pseudacris maculate), as well as extinction and colonization probabilities, from 2004 to 2006 in a valley in Rocky Mountain National Park. I also evaluated hypothesized relationships between occupancy and attributes measured at multiple spatial scales. Erin Muths and Barry Noon were co-authors on this chapter. Breeding wood frogs occupied approximately 12% of the wetlands across the three years of the study, while occupancy by boreal chorus frogs increased from approximately 20% in 2004 to 37% in 2006. Wood frog occupancy was positively associated with the amount of streamside habitat adjacent to a wetland and negatively associated with the cost-based distance to the nearest occupied wetland. Boreal chorus frog occupancy was positively associated with the number of neighboring, occupied wetlands. For wood frogs, model-averaged estimates of colonization probability were < 10% and estimates of… Advisors/Committee Members: Noon, Barry R. (advisor), Crooks, Kevin R.
