"Trait Based Austrailian Mammal Distribution Patterns and Extinction Risks"
Presenter: Jessica Berryman, Salt Lake Community College
SESSION Remote Sensing Methods for Critical Habitat Modelling II
"Trait based research, which attempts to ascertain habitat selection based on intrinsic factors, may be beneficial in predicting species’ extinction risks. In this study, I utilized GIS to investigate the relationship between environmental factors and extinction risk based on life history strategies. Specifically, I conducted a metadata analysis of seven life history traits and the conservation status of 236 Australian species in order to identify life history strategy clusters and determine if there was a difference in extinction risk based on the clusters. I then compared the environmental data at each historical occurrence point for species within the life history
