Predicted genetic consequences of alternative population control strategies for North American plains bison in Yellowstone National Park

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Management of bison in Yellowstone National Park under the available strategies that maintained ≥3,500 individuals (1:1 sex ratio), removed <40% of the population at a time and prioritized relatives for removal were predicted to maintain genetic variation at levels consistent with long‐term conservation (>95% of existing variation).

Spatial and temporal variation in survival of female wild turkeys

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We monitored 370 female wild turkeys across North Carolina's 3 ecoregions from 2020‐2022 to understand factors influencing their survival. Female survival varied by ecoregion and behavior state, with the incubation period having the lowest survival rates. None of the land cover variables affected survival.

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Coupling Water Purification and Carbon Sequestration at Various Spatial Scales From Supply and Demand Perspective

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing ecosystem‐service supply and demand is central to understanding both the natural and social dimensions of ecosystem services and to enhancing human well‐beings. Concurrently, collaborative efforts are underway to improve multiple ecosystem services, including the promotion of carbon neutrality and water purification (WP) within basin

Impact of Sugarcane Management Practices and Time Periods on Soil Organic Carbon and δ13C Signature After Paddy Rice Conversion

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Land use change (LUC) from paddy rice to sugarcane cultivation strongly influences soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, with the extent and direction of change depending on residue management and time since conversion. This study aimed to (i) evaluate SOC stock changes under different residue management practices and conversion periods following ...
