Estimating body mass of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) using body morphometrics. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
We developed a set of equations to predict wild pig body mass from other morphometric measures. Data were collected and validated from eight different areas in the United States, Australia, and Guam. Abstract Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are invading many areas globally and impacting biodiversity and economies in their non‐native range.

Extensive Admixture Among Karst-Obligate Salamanders Reveals Evidence of Recent Divergence and Gene Exchange Through Aquifers. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Population genomics analyses of the karst‐inhabiting E. neotenes complex of salamanders reveals low levels of differentiation and substantial admixture among the three nominal species in the complex. The history of these populations includes recent divergence and gene exchange through aquifers.

Invasive Wild Pigs as Primary Nest Predators for Wild Turkeys. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
Depredation of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) nests is a leading cause of reduced recruitment for the recovering and iconic game species. invasive wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are known to depredate nests, and have been expanding throughout the distributed ...

Effectiveness, economics, and safety of drop nets and helicopters with net‐gunning for capturing white‐tailed deer

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 46, Issue 5, December 2022., 2022
We evaluated capture effectiveness, monetary cost, and safety for drop net and both single and tandem helicopter with net‐gun techniques for white‐tailed deer. While all three techniques were safe and effective methods for deer capture, the tandem‐helicopter technique was superior in balancing effectiveness, cost, safety, and maximizing spatial ...

Multi‐scale species density model for conserving an endangered songbird

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 86, Issue 5, July 2022., 2022
Remotely sensed data can be used to map the gradient of conditions that occur across a species' range and generate predictors at multiple biologically relevant scales for modeling species density. A model built with this approach found 64% of the predicted abundance of golden‐cheeked warblers occurred in the Balcones Canyonlands ecoregion and indicated

Wheat heat tolerance is impaired by heightened deletions in the distal end of 4AL chromosomal arm

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1038-1051, May 2021., 2021
Summary Heat stress (HS) causes substantial damages to worldwide crop production. As a cool season crop, wheat (Triticum aestivum) is sensitive to HS‐induced damages. To support the genetic improvement of wheat HS tolerance (HST), we conducted fine mapping of TaHST1, a locus required for maintaining wheat vegetative and reproductive growth under ...
