Seasonal survival probabilities suggest low migration mortality in migrating bats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Migration is adaptive if survival benefits are larger than costs of residency. Many aspects of bat migration ecology such as migratory costs, stopover site use and fidelity are largely unknown.

Long-term demography of a reintroduced population of endangered falcons
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 We examined long-term demography of an endangered subspecies, the Northern Aplomado Falcon (Falco femoralis septentrionalis), in South Texas, USA. The population has been managed and monitored since reintroductions began in 1993.

Annual survival estimation of migratory songbirds confounded by incomplete breeding site-fidelity: study designs that may help [PDF]
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2004 Many species of bird exhibit varying degrees of site–fidelity to the previous year’s territory or breeding area, a phenomenon we refer to as incomplete breeding site–fidelity. If the territory they occupy is located beyond the bounds of the study area or

Covariantes continuas individuales dependientes del tiempo y el modelo de Cormack–Jolly–Seber [PDF]
, 2004 The Cormack–Jolly–Seber model provides the basic framework for analyzing the survival of animals in open populations using capture–recapture data. Extensions of this model have already been developed that allow the survival and capture probabilities to ...

Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We tested a suite of ecological hypotheses to explain variation in seasonal body mass dynamics of a fat‐storing mammalian hibernator. We further demonstrated that pre‐hibernation mass gain in ground squirrels mediates an annual allocation trade‐off between current and future reproduction as the squirrels forage and rear young under predation risk ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...
