Assessing relative hazard, risk, and seasonal differences of wildlife‐aircraft collisions

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 3, September 2025.
Wildlife collisions with aircraft have occurred since the inception of aviation, with significant safety and economic implications. Strike risk models are used to assess the probability of an adverse event between wildlife and aircraft, providing information to guide wildlife management at airports. This study builds upon DeVault et al.

Prey Distribution Mapping to Support Conservation Planning

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Biodiversity conservation broadly relies on protecting suitable habitat for species of concern, and species distribution models (SDM) are a common method for classifying potential habitat suitability. However, SDMs frequently omit resource availability and are therefore missing potentially useful information for planning successful ...
