Whooping crane Grus americana chick mortality and management intervention [PDF]
Wildlife Biology, 2013 Translocation of captive‐reared animals is widely used as a tool for endangered species recovery. Frequently, translocated populations have relatively low initial productivity, requiring management intervention. A translocated population of whooping cranes Grus americana in central Wisconsin ...

Breeding home range selection of Eastern Population sandhill cranes across the boreal forest
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 8, November 2025.We evaluated breeding home range habitat selection of sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis) in the boreal forest of eastern Canada. Overall, we found that sandhill cranes selected breeding home ranges with greater proportions of wetlands, cropland, and recently disturbed forest.

Can edge AI mitigate environmental effects on camera trap performance?
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.A camera trap enabled with edge artificial intelligence (AI) mitigated the effects of increased air temperature on the probability of false positive detections, but at the cost of an increased probability of missed detections. Other environmental variables affected camera trap performance differently, suggesting the need to account for camera trap ...

Annual survival rates of migratory shore and upland game birds
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Band recoveries from hunted populations are widely used to estimate survival and harvest rates. We used long‐term (1950–2010) band‐recovery data from the United States and Canada to estimate average survival and recovery rates for juvenile and adult ...

Effectiveness of Key Biodiversity Areas in representing global avian diversity
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 4, August 2025.Abstract Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are the largest and most complete network of significant sites for the global persistence of biodiversity. Although important sites for birds worldwide have been relatively well assessed, a key question is how effectively the global KBA network represents avian diversity.

Farmers' tolerance for crop damage caused by wildlife: the role of compensation
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.Compensation is a common strategy to alleviate financial losses caused by wildlife, but its effects on farmers' tolerance towards damage to crops caused by wildlife are poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted semi‐structured interviews in three areas in and around biosphere reserves in Sweden and Germany to examine farmers ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.Sandhill Crane populations of the Pacific Flyway are made up of breeding populations nesting west of the Rocky Mountains, and isolated by intermediate mountain ranges. Here, we analyze microsatellite markers, mitochondrial DNA sequences, and mitochondrial haplogroups to elucidate population genetic structure and found substantial genetic ...

Climate‐related drivers of migratory bird health in the south‐central USA
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1272-1293, June 2025.ABSTRACT Migratory birds are species of concern that play important ecological roles while also supporting recreational opportunities for the hunting and birdwatching public. Direct and indirect effects of climate variability, extremes, and change on migratory bird health manifest at the individual, population, species, and community levels.
