The Beaver Den - Beaver Book Club

Each month, we select a published research paper relating to beavers to read, critically evaluate, and discuss. Beavers are fascinating animals with so many mechanisms for influencing the world.
Did you know Oregon is home to just two native freshwater turtle species? Both species are declining, and both are species of Greatest Conservation Need in Oregon. In work published this year, researchers assessed turtle habitat using field surveys and water temperature measurements to rank habitat at 7 beaver-dammed and 7 control ponds in the Portland area. Are water temperatures cooler in the summer in beaver ponds? Do turtles benefit from beaver-managed habitat?
Join us in discussing:
Krige, R. N., Guderyahn, L., Holzer, K., & Rivera, C. D. How beavers affect habitat availability for two native turtle species. The Journal of Wildlife Management, e70196.
