Mapping landowners' willingness to allow recreational deer harvest on their property for managing chronic wasting disease

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We demonstrate an approach for mapping the probability of landowners' willingness to allow wildlife management actions on their property using chronic wasting disease as a case study. Larger property sizes were associated with higher landowner willingness. We mapped predictions across the contiguous United States at the census tract level.

Where opportunity meets desire: Predicting antlerless deer harvest selectivity during Wisconsin's nine‐day firearm season

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We predicted Wisconsin deer hunters’ likelihood to take an available antlerless deer harvest opportunity on a given day of the 9‐day firearm season using a combination of personal characteristics of the hunter and situational factors of the hunting day.

Optimization of Land Pattern in Mining Area Based on the Improvement of Ecosystem Service Function—A Case Study of Fushun Mining Area

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mining activities are prevalent worldwide and pose significant threats to the supply of ecosystem services (ESs) for humanity. Many mining areas face challenges related to recovery and reclamation following resource depletion. A key challenge for the sustainable development of these areas is how to achieve collaborative optimization of land ...

Zooarchaeology of Houses and Middens: Investigating Patterns of Assemblage Composition at Early Inuit Sites Across the North American Arctic

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines faunal assemblages from paired semisubterranean houses and middens at 10 Early Inuit sites spanning the North American Arctic (ca. 1200–1500 ce) to evaluate whether local resource bases or other factors primarily structure zooarchaeological variability.

An overwinter protocol for detecting wolverines and other carnivores at camera traps paired with automated scent dispensers

Ecology and Evolution
Camera traps deployed with olfactory attractants are used to survey rare and elusive carnivores. Study areas with deep snowpack and rugged terrain present challenges and risks to field personnel, who traditionally must revisit camera stations regularly ...

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

METHOD FOR RELEASING OF LARVAE TOXOCARA CANIS FROM LIVER AND LUNG PARENCHYMA OF CARNIVORES

Российский паразитологический журнал, 2016
A method for releasing of larvae Toxocara canis from liver and lung parenchyma of carnivores for post-mortem diagnostics of toxocarosis under light invasion and in prepatent period has been suggested. The received culture of larvae T.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Feast or famine: How food deserts, wealth and greenspace correlate with coyote diets in Seattle, Washington

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban environments create unique challenges for wildlife, where dietary habits may reflect both ecological heterogeneity and societal disparities. In this study, we explored how social factors such as household income and human population density, and ecological factors such as tree canopy correlate with coyote (Canis latrans) diets in Seattle,

Balancing forage and fear: How people, environment and predators shape reindeer grazing in the Fennoscandian tundra

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The long history of reindeer herding in Fennoscandia has shaped the mountain tundra by influencing its productivity, nutrient and carbon cycling and vegetation structure. By partly limiting shrub expansion, extensive reindeer grazing contributes to ecosystem resilience and helps mitigate climate change effects.
