Chapter 4: Population Distribution and Trends of California Spotted Owls
Distribution Geographic Range Following Verner et al.’s (1992) technical assessment of the California spotted owl (CASPO), we divided the range of the California spotted owl (Strix occidentalis occidentalis) into two major physiographic provinces: the Sierra Nevada and the mountains of southern California (Tehachapi Pass was the demarcation between the regions). Verner et al. (1992) noted that ...
متن کاملSedimentary charcoal as an indicator of late-Holocene drought in the Sierra Nevada, California, and its relevance to the future
A Holocene record of climate, re and vegetation regimes was reconstructed for Siesta Lake, Yosemite National Park, California, using fossil pollen and charcoal from lake sediments. These reconstructions were generated to provide a long-term perspective on drought in the Sierra Nevada. The sedimentary record is in agreement with other long-term records of climate and vegetation from the Sierra...
متن کاملPolychlorinated biphenyls and toxaphene in Pacific tree frog tadpoles (Hyla regilla) from the California Sierra Nevada, USA.
Pacific tree frog (Hyla regilla) tadpoles were collected throughout the Sierra Nevada mountain range, California, USA, in 1996 and 1997 and analyzed for the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and toxaphene. Whole-tadpole sigma PCB levels ranged from 244 ng/g (wet wt) at lower elevations on the western slope to 1.6 ng/g high on the eastern slope, whereas sigma toxaphene levels ranged f...
متن کاملSpecial Section: Wolverine Inferring Geographic Isolation of Wolverines in California Using Historical DNA
Delineating a species’ geographic range using the spatial distribution of museum specimens or even contemporary detection– non-detection data can be difficult. This is particularly true at the periphery of a species range where species’ distributions are often disjunct. Wolverines (Gulo gulo) are wide-ranging mammals with discontinuous and potentially isolated populations at the periphery of th...
متن کاملHistorical and Contemporary DNA Indicate Fisher Decline and Isolation Occurred Prior to the European Settlement of California
Establishing if species contractions were the result of natural phenomena or human induced landscape changes is essential for managing natural populations. Fishers (Martes pennanti) in California occur in two geographically and genetically isolated populations in the northwestern mountains and southern Sierra Nevada. Their isolation is hypothesized to have resulted from a decline in abundance a...
