The article presents information on research papers related to wildlife habitat. The paper "Creation Times and Costs for Five Tree-based Wildlife Cavity Structures (California)," by Christopher R. Keyes, David A. Jaramillo and Branden M. Woolley determines the amount of time and costs spent to create five types of tree-derived wildlife cavity structures to assess the feasibility of incorporating this element of forest restoration into a framework of active forest management. The paper "Fire History Effects on Dakota Skipper Occurrence and Habitat (North Dakota)," by Robert K. Murphy, Andi S. Rogers and Larry Lystad explores the occurrence of Dakota skipper and its key habitat elements in relation to prescribed fire history at Lostwood National Wildlife Refuge, a mixed-grass prairie in northwestern North Dakota. The paper "Pastures for Upland Birds: Landowner Incentive Program Restores Native Species in Bermudagrass Pastures (Texas)," by Matt Wagner, Fred Smeins and Brian Hays finds cost-effective strategies for establishing and managing native grasses and forbs in Bermudagrass pastures.
