Remotely enabling live traps for mesopredator capture: Potential benefits and use of time‐controlled trap access

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
A method is described for remotely controlling the interval of time available for live trap animal capture using a programmable door which controls animal access to a readied live trap within a housing structure. Based on management objectives or other considerations, utilities include the ability to eliminate repeat site visits in some contexts to set

Localized resources enable noninvasive genetic monitoring of small populations of mountain ungulates

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Using microsatellite analysis of fecal samples collected at mineral licks from 2019–2022, we assessed abundance, apparent survival and genetics of bighorn sheep in the Teton Range, Wyoming, USA. Annual abundance estimates ranged from 118−132 individuals split into 2 similar‐sized demes and apparent survival estimates ranged from 0.72–0.92.

The ‘big houses‐big cars dilemma’: How do we reconcile the prevalence of positive correlations among life history traits?

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Life history theory assumes that there are negative correlations among different components of the life history—investing more in reproduction now means taking resources away from growth, maintenance or the ability to reproduce in the future.

Out of the fire and into the frying pan: Hostile post‐fire thermal conditions reduce activity windows for reptiles

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change and intensified fire regimes are reshaping ecosystems globally. Reptiles, as ectotherms, rely on microhabitat shelters to buffer against thermal extremes, yet the capacity of these shelters to persist or function following fire remains poorly understood ...
