LaMontagne, Jalene M.

Habitat quality is largely heterogeneous over space and time, although common simplifying assumptions in ecological research include homogeneity of areas occupied by a population and equal resource availability among individuals. These assumptions are made due to difficulties in quantifying the food available to individuals and following the effects of food on individual performance under natural conditions. My objectives were to document temporal and spatial variability in food availability, and its effects on seed predator individual performance and population dynamics in a white spruce-red squirrel system near Kluane Lake, Yukon. This system was ideal for my study because white spruce is the only conifer present,...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
