About Robert Jenkins
In 2017, Robert Jenkins spent 14 months tracking fisher populations across fragmented old-growth stands in the Cascade Range using custom acoustic-triggered camera arrays, revealing that juvenile dispersal corridors shrank by 63% where logging roads intersected riparian zones. His peer-reviewed model, now embedded in Oregon’s Forest Practices Act revisions, quantifies how road density alters scent-marking behavior in mustelids, directly linking territorial signaling breakdown to local extirpation risk. He doesn’t treat habitat as static polygons on a GIS layer; he maps it through scent trails, snow-track persistence, and den-site microclimates, measuring humidity gradients inside Douglas-fir cavities to predict kit survival rates. His field notebooks contain sketches of claw wear patterns across age classes, cross-referenced with isotopic diet data from hair samples. When he speaks of sustainability, he means the minimum contiguous canopy cover required for red squirrel seed-caching fidelity, not abstract thresholds, but the precise 0.87 hectares where scatter-hoarding shifts from regenerative to futile.
