Evaluating the effects of tracking devices on survival, breeding success, behavior, and condition of a small, partially migratory shorebird

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesThe 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.

Piping plover and least tern populations and habitat in western Iowa : final report, 1989. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
During the 1900s, humans have converted much of the middle Missouri River from a slow-moving, meandering river into a narrow, fast-moving stream. These changes have been dramatically documented in Iowa.

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

open access: yesPeople 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 ...

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

open access: yesGlobal 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 ...

Regional evolutionary distinctiveness and endangerment as a means of prioritizing protection of endangered species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Conservation is costly, and choices must be made about where to best allocate limited resources. I propose a regional evolutionary diversity and endangerment (RED-E) approach to prioritization of endangered species.
