Seabird population responses after the removal of an introduced predator

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We studied the response of a breeding population of seabirds (pigeon guillemots) to the removal of an introduced population of predators (American mink) from an archipelago that was formerly the largest aggregation of nesting guillemots in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Effects of oiling common raven nests on ravens and greater sage‐grouse in sagebrush ecosystems

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We oiled and sham‐oiled raven nests across 7 sites in the Great Basin to measure the effects of egg‐oiling on co‐occurring populations of ravens and sage‐grouse. Oiling raven eggs ended embryonic development of oiled eggs, reduced raven densities, resulted in more than a doubling of nest‐survival probabilities of sage‐grouse nests, and spurred ...

Farmers versus wolves: how geographic, social cognitive, and experiential factors influence attitudes towards a predator in Italy

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
A survey of 426 Italian farmers reveals that tolerance toward wolves varies geographically, with northern regions showing less acceptance. Negative intentions were linked to poor knowledge, while use of preventive methods fostered positive beliefs. These findings highlight the need for region‐specific, socially informed wolf management strategies in ...

Northern bobwhites select for native grasses on working grazing land

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern bobwhites in eastern Kentucky selected for native warm‐season grasses at multiple spatial scales in an environment dominated by exotic cool‐season grass cattle forage. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands ...

Annual survival and resource selection of juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee, USA, selected areas with smaller patch sizes and lower proportions of developed land. Annual survival was 0.73 and decreased as dense land cover such as young and deciduous forest increased and cover types with high visibility decreased. Abstract Documenting juvenile male wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)
