Single-tree selection silviculture affects cavity resources in mixed deciduous forests in Thailand
Article Abstract:
Single-tree selection silviculture was found to have effectively lowered the number of cavity abundances in mixed deciduous forests in western Thailand. This was proven by a study of the effects of single-tree selection systems on tree cavity abundance in logged and unlogged forests of Thailand's Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary. Tree densities, cavity-tree densities and cavity densities were observed to be greater in unlogged than logged stands. Caring for cavity-forming species, such as the Alangium salviifolium, is needed to maintain the habitat of cavity-dependent wild animals.

Density-dependent responses of gray-tailed voles to mowing
Article Abstract:
The density-dependent response of vole populations to mowing of an alfalfa cover is investigated. Otherwise known as Microtus canicaudus, the voles were live trapped inside low-, medium- and high-density enclosed 0.2-ha-fields. In addition, they were measured for survival rates, population size and growth rates before and after mowing. The results, which revealed a decline in all three, showed that voles captured inside the enclosure and in border traps showed similar sex, age and reproductive features.

Breeding bird community composition in relation to riparian vegetation structure in the western United States
Article Abstract:
Riparian vegetation is increasingly under pressure from many users, including birds, but little research has been undertaken into the composition of the various avian communities to be found alongside the riverbank. A new study investigates bird species abundance alongside riparian zones in the Silvies and Bear valleys in eastern Oregon over a two-year period. It is shown that continuous mesic shrub vegetation typically supports greater numbers of riparian-associated bird species.
