Thesis (M.S.)--Humboldt State University, Wildlife Management, 2006, I studied foraging responses of White-headed Woodpeckers (Picoides albolarvatus), Brown Creepers (Certhia americana) and White-breasted Nuthatches (Sitta carolinensis) to restoration efforts in eastside pine forest using mechanical thinning and prescribed fire in order to understand trophic relationships in these forests. I focused on the role of food availability and how changes in food availability might be caused by increased solar radiation in more open thinned stands, and on the reintroduction of disturbance, including fire, blowdown, and mechanical thinning. I also investigated the relationship between tree size, foraging behavior and prey availability., USDA Forest Service, Wildlife Conservation Society, Wildlife Management |
