Habitat associations and influence of forest management on red tree voles
Your paper should examine the habitat relationships of red tree voles, including use and selection of sites for nesting and characteristics of stand used as their habitat. Your paper should address issues relative to the influences of forest management activities on red tree voles. If possible, it is preferable to discuss this at multiple scales (including influences on nesting habitat, as well as larger spatial scale influences, such as dispersal).
Your paper should cite the following papers and a minimum of 5 others:
