Habitat associations of marbled murrelets at multiple spatial scales

Your paper should examine the habitat relationships of marbled murrelets at multiple scales (including nest site, forest stand, and landscape).  You are welcome, but not required, to explore some of the implications of these habitat relations on conservation of the species and/or forest management.   

Your paper should cite the following papers and a minimum of 5 others:
