The Secret Life of Tidal Marshes and Mangroves: Camera Trapping as a Window Into Wildlife Using North American Coastal Wetlands. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...

Exploring Bird Gut Microbiota Through Opportunistic Fecal Sampling: Ecological and Evolutionary Perspectives. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Wetland degradation threatens bird populations, and their intestinal microbiota composition is influenced by local conditions, particularly diet. This pilot study used fecal samples collected from the ground to assess avian gut microbiota via 16S rRNA metabarcoding, revealing significant variations linked to bird traits and environmental factors ...

Effects of translocation on American crocodile movements and habitat use in South Florida

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 6, August 2023., 2023
We studied the practice of translocating American crocodiles in S. Florida to resolve human‐crocodile conflicts by tracking them via satellite GPS transmitters. The paper highlights the risks to crocodiles and effects of translocation on the crocodiles' movements and habitat use.

Spatial modeling of the relative abundance of wading birds in peninsular Florida using citizen science data

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Recent literature has shown citizen science data that include reported counts, such as observations from the eBird database, can be used to model the relative abundance of selected species. The objective of our study was to extend on both the methodology and the range of species considered by previous research on relative abundance modeling ...

Post‐migratory nonbreeding movements of birds: A review and case study

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
While many migratory birds are conceptualized as using a single wintering site, technological advances that enable detailed tracking of individual birds are uncovering more examples of post‐migratory movements in diverse species and locations during the nonbreeding season.

Physiological condition of juvenile wading birds in relation to multiple landscape stressors in the Florida Everglades: effects of hydrology, prey availability, and mercury bioaccumulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The physiological condition of juvenile birds can be influenced by multiple ecological stressors, and few studies have concurrently considered the effects of environmental contaminants in combination with ecological attributes that can influence foraging

A survey of the uncinate bone and other poorly known ossicles associated with the lacrimal/ectethmoid complex of the avian skull

The Anatomical Record, Volume 305, Issue 9, Page 2312-2330, September 2022., 2022
Abstract In several taxa of Neornithes (crown group birds), the lacrimal/ectethmoid complex exhibits small bones, the comparative osteology of which is poorly studied. Some of these ossicles—which are commonly known as uncinate bones (ossa uncinata or ossa lacrimopalatina)—were already described two centuries ago, but knowledge of their distribution ...

On the comparative morphology of the juvenile avian skull: An assessment of squamosal shape across avian higher‐level taxa

The Anatomical Record, Volume 304, Issue 4, Page 845-859, April 2021., 2021
Abstract The comparative morphology of juvenile avian skulls is poorly known. Here, we survey the shape of the squamosal (os squamosum) across juvenile skulls of avian higher‐level clades. In all palaeognathous birds, the rostral end of the squamosal does not surpass the parietal and does not reach the frontal.
