The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.We investigated low American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) productivity in the Virginia barrier islands, which historically supported high oystercatcher reproductive success. We found that chick survival was lower than nest survival, and that management may need to adapt to address evolving threats from coastal flooding and a multi‐guild ...

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.Animal‐borne trackers are commonly used to study bird movements, including in long‐distance migrants such as shorebirds. Selecting a tracker and attachment method can be daunting, and methodological advancements often have been made by trial and error and conveyed by word of mouth.

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.Studies on bird behavior have benefited from the miniaturization of tracking devices and the opportunities for massive data collection facilitated by extensive satellite and cellular infrastructures. However, assessments of the effects of tracking devices on the behavior and survival of birds are rarely conducted and disseminated – raising animal ...

Outwash Events Inhibit Vegetation Recovery and Prolong Coastal Vulnerability
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 130, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Overwash, when high ocean water levels and waves flood a coastline, is a common phenomenon that can lead to washover deposits and barrier rollover. Outwash, by contrast, involves seaward flow, often driven by high back‐barrier water levels, and can produce washout channels and nearshore deposition.

Red fox home ranges, activity patterns, and resource selection on an Atlantic barrier island
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 2, February 2025.Red foxes often are a predator of imperiled shorebirds in barrier island ecosystems, and predation is often managed along with other factors such as habitat limitation. Yet we know little about the home ranges, resource selection, and activity patterns of red foxes in barrier island systems.

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 15-31, January 2025.Abstract Domestic dogs can have devastating impacts on threatened wildlife, but limiting their damage is challenging because it relies on changing the behaviour of people who bring dogs into natural areas and allow them to romp unrestrained. Our study addressed the need to understand people and their behaviour when walking a dog on versus off‐leash in ...
