Cutting through the noise: What can habitat selection modeling teach us about caribou‐fire space use dynamics?

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We synthesize the current knowledge regarding caribou habitat selection in relation to wildfires. Caribou responses to recent burns were generally weak and highly variable across subspecies or ecotypes, suggesting that post‐fire habitat selection is likely context‐dependent and the need for regionally adapted habitat management strategies.

Modeling effects of environmental conditions and hunter activity on Montezuma quail harvest in Arizona

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Models of spatiotemporal variation in hunter harvest show that monsoon precipitation and changes in hunter behavior and composition are the primary drivers underlying variation in annual harvest of Montezuma quail. The demographic structure of the previous year's harvest was also strongly associated with the magnitude and rate of annual harvest ...

Recent wolf hunting and trapping in the Great Lakes region of the United States

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We analyzed wolf hunting and trapping seasons in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan (2012–2014, 2021) to assess harvest patterns, method effectiveness, and links to livestock depredations. Harvest outcomes were driven by regulations and methods, did not appear to cause long‐term population declines, and showed no consistent relationships with reduced ...

Representation of potential species ranges under future climate scenarios by a collaborative conservation plan

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We use ecological niche model predictions across the next 3 decades for 263 forest‐dependent, terrestrial, vertebrate species of conservation concern in the Southeastern Appalachians under 4 future climate scenarios. We overlay these predictions with a collaborative conservation plan to determine if the priority map successfully represents potential ...

Identifying forest features that increase resiliency of southern‐boundary snowshoe hare populations in Pennsylvania

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Snowshoe hare population densities in Pennsylvania were greatest in early‐successional forest and densely‐understoried mature forest. Forest management that increases and maintains the amount of early‐successional forest, or that increases understory complexity in mature forest, would benefit snowshoe hares and may mitigate population declines under ...

Topographic and Climatic Determinants of Soil Organic Carbon Across Landscapes: A Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soil is the greatest natural store of organic carbon, holding between 1500 to 1550 Pg C of organic carbon at the top 100 cm of the soil globally—roughly twice the carbon pool in the atmosphere. The spatial distribution of this stock is controlled by a complex chain of controls: topographic position regulates the hydrological redistribution,

Aerial Seeding for Forest and Landscape Restoration: A Systematic Review of Technology, Challenges, and Future Directions

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land degradation is a critical global challenge, threatening biodiversity, food security, and livelihoods. Ecological restoration has therefore become a priority, with aerial seeding emerging as a key method to address issues of scale, accessibility, and efficiency. By dispersing seeds from aircraft or drones, aerial seeding complements ground‐
