Journal 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.

Ecological 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 ...

Northern bobwhite autumn and winter food habits in restored pine–bluestem habitats
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 We determined autumn and winter food habits of hunter‐harvested northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus; n = 388) over 11 years (1998–2009) in a matrix of restored shortleaf pine–bluestem (Pinus echinata–Andropogon–Schizachyrium), and unthinned and ...
