Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

On the Japan-taken Branta canadensis
Japanese Journal of Ornithology, 1952 I reported a specimen of Branta taken in Japan preserved in the British Museum of Natural History, London and identified it with some doubt to be Branta minima (cf. Tori, no. 26, pp. 2-3, 1928). Recently Mr. Robert A. Coombes of Tring Museum kindly examined this skin (Brit. Mus. Reg. 1894. 8. 12. 24) on my behalf and informed that it belongs to B.

Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...

Evaluation of an avian radar system in a midwestern landscape
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Bird strikes in aviation are an increasing threat to both aircraft and human safety. Management efforts have focused largely on the immediate airport environment. Avian radar systems could potentially be useful in assessing bird strike threats at greater

Quantification of bone surface textures: exploring a new method of ontogenetic ageing
Journal of Analytical Science and Technology, 2023 Identification of ontogenetic age classes plays an important role in the fields of zoology, palaeontology and archaeology, where accurate age classifications of (sub)fossil remains are a crucial component for the reconstruction of past life.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Distinct waterbird species influence nutrient cycling through guano contributions in Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Waterbird‐derived nutrients favour distinct algal communities and wetland sediments rapidly remove waterbird nutrients via biogeochemical processes.
