Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

A proof of concept for linking individual identity to camera traps

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Small mammal movements are difficult to monitor, both visually and with remote tracking devices, due to the animals' small body size and elusive behavior. Cameras deployed at fixed locations can provide continuous, non‐invasive records in natural habitats, yet camera‐derived indices remain sparsely validated and generally do not allow inference at the ...

Assessing genetic diversity in a reintroduced Mediterranean griffon vulture Gyps fulvus population to inform long‐term conservation management

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reintroductions play a key role in conservation biology. Their long‐term success strongly depends on maximizing the genetic diversity of founders, as well as on ensuring ecological connectivity with adjacent populations. Accordingly, evaluating the conservation status of reintroduced populations to limit the loss of their genetic diversity requires ...

FoxWatch: A User‐Friendly Tool for Estimating Fox Abundance From Camera Traps Using Simultaneous‐Count Models FoxWatch: 种利用同步计数模型从红外相机数据估算狐狸种群数量的简易工具

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
FoxWatch is a user‐friendly analytical workflow that converts camera‐trap detections into dependable estimates of fox abundance. The user‐friendly Shiny R app standardizes data preparation, employs Simultaneous‐Count Models modeling, and displays uncertainty in clear, comprehensible outputs. By connecting field monitoring with decision‐making, FoxWatch

Efficacy of raccoon removal in urban and rural sites in northern Illinois

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We placed 109 camera traps (n = 204 unique camera trap placements) at 6 study sites (5 treatment and 1 control) to monitor raccoon response to removal. Our results indicated that implementing biannual, multiple, or extended trapping programs could maintain reduced raccoon abundance and occupancy over longer durations where protection of prey species is

Scaling temperature‐dependent dispersal rates to metacommunity dynamics: An experimental test

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Changes in community structure under shifting thermal regimes depend on how both local population dynamics and regional dispersal respond to temperature. Processes underlying dispersal, such as movement speed and demographic density dependence, are constrained by ...
