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.

Why do people walk their dog where the wild things are? A qualitative content analysis from an urban nature reserve

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 ...

Long-distance dispersal in a recovering endangered shorebird population facilitates recolonization of historical nesting sites following decades of extirpation

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2022
After extirpation from most of the Great Lakes by the 1980s, the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus circumcinctus) did not nest again outside Michigan until 1998. The number of Plovers breeding in the region has gradually increased, with nesting locations

A Trophic and Non‐Trophic Seasonal Interaction Network Reveals Potential Management Units and Functionally Important Species

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the organisation of the wide variety of ecological interactions is crucial to advancing our understanding and management of real ecosystems. We aimed to compile a ‘complete’ network of tetrapod trophic and non‐trophic interactions for the entire North American boreal forest biome that could be analysed to gain insights into ...

Vulnerability of endemic insular mole skinks to sea‐level rise

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2024.
Three subspecies of mole skink (Plestiodon egregius egregius, P. e. insularis, and the Egmont Key Mole Skink known from a single occurrence) occur on a small number of islands off the Gulf Coast of Florida, USA. We used the most recent sea level rise projections and the latest storm surge simulation data to predict impacts to habitat for insular mole ...

Assessing Survey Design for Long-Term Population Trend Detection in Piping Plovers

Land
Determining appropriate spatio-temporal scales for monitoring migratory shorebirds is challenging. Effective surveys must detect population trends without excessive or insufficient sampling, yet many programs lack formal evaluations of survey ...

Assessing Error in Locations of Conspicuous Wildlife Using Handheld GPS Units and Location Offset Methods

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2020
Collecting spatially explicit locations of individual animals often is an important part of the study of habitat use. Obtaining accurate locations without disturbing an individual can be difficult for small species and may be limited for species of ...
