Spatial behavior of socially isolated wild pigs (Sus scrofa) following sounder removal via trapping

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Following partial sounder removal, socially isolated wild pigs maintained site fidelity near traps, highlighting post‐control behavioral tendencies that are relevant to pest management and disease mitigation. Abstract BACKGROUND The rapid expansion of wild pig (Sus scrofa) populations across North America, coupled with increased concern over disease ...

Genetic sampling for estimating density of common species. [PDF]

, 2017
Understanding population dynamics requires reliable estimates of population density, yet this basic information is often surprisingly difficult to obtain.

Using neutral cline decay to estimate contemporary dispersal: a generic tool and its application to a major crop pathogen [PDF]

, 2013
Dispersal is a key parameter of adaptation, invasion and persistence. Yet standard population genetics inference methods hardly distinguish it from drift and many species cannot be studied by direct mark-recapture methods.

The European honey buzzard (Pernis apivorus) as an ally for the control of the invasive yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, April 2025.
The predatory effect of the honey‐buzzard affects the reproductive performance of Asian‐hornet colonies, decreasing the density of workers over distance and time. The foraging distances of the honey‐buzzard concentrates within the first 2000 m from nest, which supports the results observed.

Large‐effect loci affect survival in Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) infected with a transmissible cancer

Molecular Ecology, 2018
Identifying the genetic architecture of complex phenotypes is a central goal of modern biology, particularly for disease‐related traits. Genome‐wide association methods are a classical approach for identifying the genomic basis of variation in disease ...

Assessing group size and the demographic composition of a canopy‐dwelling primate, the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus), using arboreal camera trapping and genetic tagging

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We combined arboreal camera trapping and non‐invasive genetic tagging to estimate group size in the critically endangered northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. Both methods provided complementary insights into group size and demographic structure, while differing in their cost‐effectiveness and sampling constraints ...

Lost in space and time: robust demography and enhanced resilience buffer adverse environmental effects in a highly isolated and sedentary pre-pleistocene landscape vertebrate

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background Few animal populations have been studied under the framework of the OCBIL theory, which addresses the ecology and evolution of biodiversity on old climatically buffered infertile landscapes.

Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

Evaluating density-weighted connectivity of black bears (Ursus americanus) in Glacier National Park with spatial capture–recapture models

Movement Ecology
Background Improved understanding of wildlife population connectivity among protected area networks can support effective planning for the persistence of wildlife populations in the face of land use and climate change.

Water vole (Arvicola amphibius) abundance in grassland habitats of Glasgow [PDF]

, 2019
Water vole (Arvicola amphibius) populations have undergone a serious decline throughout the UK, and yet a stronghold of these small mammals is found in the greater Easterhouse area of Glasgow.
