Nutritional and reproductive dynamics of moose near their southern range limit
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Though southern moose (Alces alces) had relatively low seasonal fluctuations in body fat, their condition was positively associated with pregnancy and adult survival but did not influence recruitment of young. We demonstrated clear signs of nutritional limitation and unexpected patterns of reproductive performance that may be unique to moose living at ...

Ratio plot and ratio regression with applications to social and medical sciences
, 2016 We consider count data modeling, in particular, the zero-truncated case as it arises naturally in capture–recapture modeling as the marginal distribution of the count of identifications of the members of a target population.

Spatial and temporal variation in survival of female wild turkeys
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We monitored 370 female wild turkeys across North Carolina's 3 ecoregions from 2020‐2022 to understand factors influencing their survival. Female survival varied by ecoregion and behavior state, with the incubation period having the lowest survival rates. None of the land cover variables affected survival.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Cyanobacterial and other algal blooms are an environmental concern in waterbodies worldwide. While these blooms are a nuisance for recreational activities, they can also be harmful to human and wildlife health when the algae produce and release toxins.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and ...

Genetic sampling for estimating density of common species. [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding population dynamics requires reliable estimates of population density, yet this basic information is often surprisingly difficult to obtain.

Tactical and Strategic Risks From Supply Disruptions in Competing Supply Chains
Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.ABSTRACT Supply chain disruptions can lead to both tactical (i.e., loss of short‐term sales during a disruption) and strategic (i.e., loss of long‐term market share) consequences. We model the impact of a supply disruption on competing supply chains in which two firms compete for a limited backup supply.

Stratified sampling enhances the understanding of bat–fruit networks in the southern Atlantic Forest
Oikos, EarlyView.Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,
