Pooling information across sites and years to estimate bat fatalities at wind farms
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We compared complete pooling (CP), no pooling (NP), and partial pooling (PP) approaches for estimating detection probabilities and hence bat fatalities at wind farms. Partial pooling integrates information across sites and years, improving precision with sparse data while preserving site‐level variation.

Harvest increase and culling as tools for managing chronic wasting disease in white‐tailed deer
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We used an agent‐based model to simulate the effect of CWD management on a white‐tailed deer population in northwest Indiana and northeast Illinois. Our results suggest that wildlife managers should reconsider how and if they should manage CWD. Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects white‐tailed ...

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores
Oikos, EarlyView.Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...
