Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Landscape drivers of scaled quail occurrence across a broad spatiotemporal scale: implications for habitat management

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.
