Oikos, EarlyView.Sensory ecology seeks to understand how organisms detect and use information from their environment, yet comparative analyses across multiple sensory modalities remain rare. Here, we present a roadmap for contrasting the sensory ecologies of birds and rodents using surrogate morphological and acoustic traits associated with vision, audition, and ...

Citizen Science for Individual Identification of Pine Martens Martes martes From Camera Trap Footage
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera traps generate large volumes of wildlife footage, but identifying animals to the individual level remains challenging and time‐consuming. Using European pine martens in the Forest of Dean as a case study, we assessed whether citizen scientists could identify individuals from camera trap photos and videos.

The status quo is imperiled: Acknowledging the issue of range‐shifting wildlife species
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Rapid climate and land‐use change are reshaping wildlife distributions, forcing managers to confront difficult decisions that challenge the traditional “status quo” approach. Range contractions of snow‐dependent species such as the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus; left photo) may increasingly require practitioners to recognize and plan for unavoidable ...
