Abstract Knowledge of movements, range size and spatial overlap of sympatric deer is integral to understanding chronic wasting disease (CWD) in endemic areas and can assist resource managers in modeling the spread of the disease. We radio‐collared 70 deer (30 mule deer Odocoileus hemionus and 40 white‐tailed deer O.

Moose Alces alces habitat use at multiple temporal scales in a human‐altered landscape
Abstract Habitat alteration by humans may change the supply of food and cover for wild ungulates, but few studies have examined how these resources are utilised over time by individuals of different sex and reproductive status. We examined circadian and seasonal variation in habitat utilisation within a moose Alces alces population in central Norway ...

Abstract The Transport and Transformation of Ammonia (TRANS2Am) campaign took place in northeastern Colorado in the summers of 2021 and 2022. One of the goals of TRANS2Am was to study the evolution of ammonia (NH3) in plumes from large animal feeding operations.

Abstract Abundance indices suggested that the moose Alces alces population in northern New Hampshire was stable despite favourable habitat and conservative harvest. Causes and rates of mortality were unknown because moose reproduction and survival was unstudied in the region. Our study was designed to investigate the dynamics of the regional population

Maternal Mosaicism Challenges in Non‐Invasive Prenatal Diagnosis
ABSTRACT Objective To report the incidental detection of maternal somatic mosaicism during the development of exclusion‐based non‐invasive prenatal diagnosis for monogenic disorders (NIPD‐MD) initially indicated for apparently de novo pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants.

Abstract We studied the factors that determine the presence of the cinereous vulture Aegypius monachus at 134 carcasses experimentally distributed in Special Protection Areas for Birds (SPA) in western and central Spain. Our goals were to assess the use of these carcasses and by‐products in order to find out the cinereous vulture's food preferences and

Modeling rice leaf area index and canopy height in the US Mid‐South region
Abstract Crop growth modeling plays a critical role in addressing the global challenges of food scarcity, carbon cycling, and water management. By simulating crop development from environmental factors, these models help predict harvest yield and carbon or water cycle terms and thus can inform policy and investment decisions.

Reproduction parameters of the Iberian hare Lepus granatensis at the edge of its range
Abstract In order to provide a basis for the sustainable exploitation of the heavily hunted Iberian hare Lepus granatensis, we compared its reproductive parameters at the northern edge of its range, where it occurs at low densities, with those reported in other studies elsewhere within the species' range.

ABSTRACT Many sectors of society have urged a transition from modern conventional agriculture to more sustainable alternatives. One of the most frequently mentioned is agroecology, due to its potential to improve soil health, promote agrobiodiversity, food sovereignty, and regenerate ecosystem functions.

Sex‐selective harvesting of polar bears Ursus maritimus
Abstract We explored limits and consequences of male‐biased harvesting of polar bears Ursus maritimus using a simulated population based on empirically‐derived estimates of age‐specific rates of survival and reproduction. The maximum sustainable yield (MSY) was identified as the total kill in which the number of females that could be taken resulted in ≤
