Renesting by dusky Canada geese on the Copper River Delta, Alaska
Article Abstract:
A marked population of dusky female Canada geese was utilized to obtain estimates of renesting propensity and renesting interval on the Copper River Delta (CRD), 1999-2000. Continuation nests, replacement nests initiated without a break in the laying sequence, resulted only after first nests were destroyed in the laying stage and renesting propensity declined with nest age.

Patterns of landscape use by female brown bears on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska
Article Abstract:
The landscape use of female brown bears on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska shows that brown bears were associated with areas with low densities of human developments and roads. The presence of streams and lakes that supported spawning salmon positively regulated summertime distribution of bears and female brown bears with cubs avoided concentrations of other bears.

Short-term demographic response of the red-backed vole to spruce beetle infestations in Alaska
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted on northern red-backed voles for 2 field seasons in the Copper River basin, Alaska, USA, where recent beetle infestations were widespread. The objective was to determine the influence of spruce beetle epidemics on the dynamics of northern red-backed vole populations approximately 10 years post-infestation.
