Comparative evaluation of noninvasive DNA sampling and line transect surveys for spring density estimation of black grouse and capercaillie

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reliable abundance estimates provide essential information in ecology, conservation and management of many wild grouse populations. In this 3‐year study, we comparatively evaluate the suitability of traditional line transect distance sampling of flushed birds versus a spatial capture–recapture survey with noninvasive DNA samples for individual ...

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

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 ...

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 ...
