Ecovoltaic solar energy development can promote grassland bird communities

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3341-3354, December 2025.
Our findings suggest that properly sited and developed ecovoltaic solar facilities in human altered landscapes can improve habitat for birds and other wildlife, but further research is needed to understand which species may benefit most from these novel ecosystems.

Effects of broadcasting supplemental feed into roadside vegetation on home range and survival of female northern bobwhite

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
Declines in northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations have led landowners in Texas, USA, to develop various management strategies to combat waning abundance.

A global review of the conservation status of true quails (Families Odontophoridae and Phasianidae)

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Understanding the conservation status of species is imperative to stem global declines. To better inform conservation, we summarized the global conservation status of New World (Family Odontophoridae) and Old World (Family Phasianidae) true quail species.

Tree cover limits occupancy of a declining game bird

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Open forest ecosystems are considered one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America and many associated avian species are experiencing population declines. Management at large and impactful scales is challenging on private lands due to fragmentation and resource limitations, but public lands are often larger in scale and offer opportunities for

Use of a thermal camera to aid in capturing northern bobwhite quail chicks

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
There is a paucity of information concerning northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) chick demography caused by a deficiency of efficient published capture techniques and permanent unique markers for identification. In order to facilitate chick research,

“Weight of evidence” as a tool for evaluating disease in wildlife: An example assessing parasitic infection in Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus)

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
The potential of parasites to affect host abundance has been a topic of heated contention within the scientific community for some time, with many maintaining that issues such as habitat loss are more important in regulating wildlife populations than ...

Predator activity, proactive anti‐predator strategies and nesting phenology produce a dynamic landscape of risk to tundra goose reproduction

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2282-2294, November 2025.
We show that Arctic and red fox space use significantly affects goose nest habitat selection and nest success in a low‐Arctic tundra ecosystem. However, the impact of fox predation depended on the location and timing of incubation of the nest, demonstrating the importance of incorporating time into the ‘landscape of fear’ concept.

Application of passive acoustic monitoring to compare avian populations in perennial grasslands and croplands in Nebraska

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Using passive acoustic monitoring, researchers in Nebraska found that perennial grasslands support greater species richness of grassland obligates and at‐risk birds than croplands throughout most of the migration and breeding season. Abstract Perennial grasses, such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), have emerged as a promising and reliable feedstock ...
