Drone‐based radiotelemetry and imagery systems provide an advantage over traditional techniques for estimating survival of dependent juveniles

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used drone‐based radiotelemetry and multispectral imagery to estimate detection and survival probabilities of blue‐winged teal broods in Saskatchewan, Canada. Weekly brood survival probabilities, estimated via Cormack‐Jolly‐Seber models, increased with age and were comparable between drone methods.

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

Genetic Tools in the Nakaseomyces clade for Evolutionary Comparisons of Signal Transduction Pathways

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The genus Nakaseomyces provides four species that are closely related but have different characteristics. For example, N. glabratus (formerly known as Candida glabrata) is a common human pathogen, whereas N. bracarensis and N. nivariensis have been isolated in clinical settings but are not common human pathogens. N.

Facilitating macrosystem biology with organismal‐scale airborne remote sensing: Challenges and opportunities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Emergent ecosystem properties, such as population and trait distributions, biodiversity and energy and water fluxes, occur because of the dynamic interactions of individuals in their environment.

Targeted behavioural and microclimate data collection substantially improves biophysical model predictions of energy expenditure in wild birds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Energy is fundamental for life and accurately predicting animals' energy expenditure under changing environments is central to ecology and global change biology. Energy expenditure in free‐living animals can be directly quantified using the doubly labelled water (DLW ...
