Phenology of migrating game birds in Italy based on citizen science data

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Studying the timing of the seasonal movements of migratory birds, known as migration phenology, is crucial for managing and conserving migratory bird populations. This is particularly important for migratory game bird populations in Europe because, according to the EU, migratory birds should not be hunted during their breeding season or during return ...

Population trends of dabbling ducks wintering in the alluvial valleys of Arkansas and Mississippi

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Population abundances, distributions, and compositions across a diversity of taxa are changing, partly as a consequence of human‐induced global modifications. Although linking population fluctuations to anthropogenic‐induced alterations can be challenging, it is increasingly clear that long‐term monitoring is critical to understanding changing ...

Combining non‐invasive survey methods increases cumulative detection probability for breeding harlequin ducks Histrionicus histrionicus

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The effective implementation of new technologies for wildlife population monitoring is limited by knowledge of factors that impact their efficacy. Population monitoring of harlequin ducks Histrionicus histrionicus on their breeding streams in Montana and Idaho in the Northern Rocky Mountains, has historically relied on ground‐based foot surveys (GBS ...

Fate of orphans of Canada geese harvested by hunters in Connecticut, USA, depends upon which month the parents were killed

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Little is known about what happens to juvenile birds after one or both of their parents are harvested by hunters during the post‐fledging dependency period. Here, we compare the fate of juvenile Canada geese Branta canadensis that lost ≥ 1 parent to hunters (orphans) during this period to other juveniles that retained both parents (non‐orphans). For 25

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

open access: yesWildlife 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.

Regional conservation planning tool: A spreadsheet model to support spatial prioritization and resource allocation decisions

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Prioritization is a central component of natural resource management because conservation needs routinely exceed available resources. Waterfowl and wetland conservation programs in North America are at the forefront of landscape‐scale prioritization and transboundary management decisions due to the migratory nature of ducks, geese, and swans ...

Prospects for Developing Compressed Air Energy Storage in Saudi Arabia

open access: yesIET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
Under Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, this paper analyses the supporting role of Compressed Air Energy Storage in high‐penetration renewable energy systems and, in light of the local geological resources and grid conditions, demonstrates its feasibility for deployment and future development prospects.

The role of the Eastern Mediterranean in human evolution: recent results from Greece Le rôle du Bassin méditerranéen oriental dans l’évolution humaine : résultats récents en Grèce

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.
