The Effects of Prescribed Fire on Artificial Wild Turkey Nest Survival in Closed-Canopy Mixed Hardwood Forest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe eastern wild turkey has declined in portions of the Southeast, raising concerns about how large‐scale prescribed fires might affect nest success. To explore this, we conducted an artificial nest study in Alabama's Talladega National Forest, where prescribed fires cover large burn units annually.

Estimating the Effects of Habitat and Biological Interactions in an Avian Community. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 We used repeated sightings of individual birds encountered in community-level surveys to investigate the relative roles of habitat and biological interactions in determining the distribution and abundance of each species.

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Inter‐ and intra‐individual variation in the feather coloration of American crows
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.Avian feathers are remarkably diverse in both form and function. Coloration is among the most studied feature of feathers, but we know relatively little about melanin‐based black coloration. Despite many crows (Corvus sp.) and other corvids having black feathers that appear uniform to human perception, their feather coloration could play an important ...

Role of Bird Movements in the Epidemiology of West Nile and Avian Influenza Virus
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Avian influenza virus (AIV) is influenced by site fidelity and movements of bird hosts. We examined the movement ecology of American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) as potential hosts for West Nile virus (WNV) and greater white-fronted geese (Anser ...
