Study conducted on small streams in forest areas of northern Poland to determine whether beaver ponds may improve habitat quality for bats
Aerial Multispectral Videography for Vegetation Mapping and Assessment of Beaver Distribution within Selected Riparian Areas of the Lake Tahoe Basin
Multispectral videography was used in this thesis to classify 10 streams in the Tahoe Basin and to determine how beaver dams affected their nearby vegetation.
An overlooked Ecological Web – Sweetgale, Beaver, Salmon, and Large Woody Debris in the Skagit River Tidal Marshes
Writing on how beaver affect vegetation such as sweetgale in estuary marshes
Invertebrates in Beaver-Created Wetlands and Ponds
A study into invertebrates in beaver wetlands in the different regions of North America
A Critical Review of the Effects of Beavers Upon Fish and Fish Stocks

Final ESA Recovery Plan for Oregon Coast Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) 2016
This recovery plan provides guidance to improve the viability of coho salmon to the point that it meets the delisting criteria and no longer requires ESA protection. It includes strong recommendations to increase the number of beaver and recommends the use of BDAs to restore rearing habitat for salmon.

Beaver-Created Habitat Heterogeneity Influences Aquatic Invertebrate Assemblages in Boreal Canada
Demonstration on how beavers physically altered isolated shallow-water wetlands which then influenced aquatic invertebrates
Beaver (Castor canadensis) as a surrogate species for conserving anuran amphibians on boreal streams in Alberta, Canada 2015
This work establishes the pre-eminence of beaver-created wetlands as amphibian habitat in the Boreal Foothills and that the incorporation of dam-building patterns into forest management strategies could aid amphibian conservation
