Navigating a landscape of contrasting hunting regimes and habitats: red deer responses to risk and resources

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Habitat selection of ungulates is influenced by various factors, with human interactions playing a significant role. Human disturbances through hunting strongly affect ungulate behaviour, often forcing them to modify their habitat choices by avoiding areas where the risk from humans outweighs other habitat benefits. Gaining insights into these dynamics

Dusky grouse seasonal resource selection in the Great Basin isolated mountain ranges of Nevada, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus are a montane forest grouse species with a paucity of information regarding their temporal and spatial resource use during critical times of high mortality and reproductive output. This lack of vital data may leave dusky grouse at risk of sub‐optimal management in many areas of their distribution, especially in the ...

The influence of the method of silver fir growing and nutrition on sprouting and chlorophyll fluorescence during spring

Journal of Forest Science, 2015
To compare breaking of dormancy in relation with climatic conditions and reaction to late frost fir plants growing in sun, in shade and at magnesium deficiency were evaluated.

Annual survival in a dynamic species: pronghorn survival patterns across their northern range

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Quantifying variation in demographic patterns, such as survival and recruitment, is critical for understanding population dynamics and informing evidence‐based and adaptive wildlife management. In this study, we leverage an extensive dataset from over 1000 GPS collared pronghorn Antilocapra americana to provide the first large‐scale evaluation of ...

First Information Report (FIR) as a Distinct Genre of Legalese: A Corpus-based Forensic Analysis

University of Chitral Journal of Linguistics and Literature
Forensic linguistics deals with the use of linguistic knowledge to help solve crimes. It is an interface between language, crime, and the law. A First Information Report (FIR) is the first step in the criminal justice system to decide crimes.

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

The relationship among the progression of inflammation in umbilical cord, fetal inflammatory response, early-onset neonatal sepsis, and chorioamnionitis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
OBJECTIVES:No information exists about whether fetal inflammatory-response(FIR), early-onset neonatal sepsis(EONS) and chorioamnionitis(an advanced-stage of maternal inflammatory-response in extraplacental membranes) continuously increase according to ...

Development of optimized methods for unbiased dusky grouse population monitoring using real and simulated data

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Rigorous state‐wide monitoring programs are lacking for dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus, a North American species of forest grouse with relatively low detectability that is found in coniferous and mountainous areas in the western United States and Canada.

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

Beyond Boundaries: Ecological Assemblage in The Country of the Pointed Firs

Literature
Employing assemblage theory, this article furthers the ecocriticism of Jewett’s works by exploring the complex ecological network of humans, the natural environment, and nonhumans created in The Country of the Pointed Firs.
