FEC Check: Development of a decision support tool to aid interpretation of gastrointestinal nematode faecal egg counts in sheep

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Gastrointestinal nematode infections are ubiquitous in grazing livestock worldwide impacting animal health and production. Faecal egg count (FEC) is an accessible diagnostic test that can guide the need for treatment. However, interpretation of FECs can be challenging.

Feasibility and acceptability of meticillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus biosecurity measures in equine facilities: A cross‐sectional study

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Biosecurity measures are recommended in stables housing meticillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)‐positive horses, but their feasibility and acceptability, as well as their implementation barriers, remain unclear. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted among clients of a veterinary teaching hospital using an online ...

Herding Behavior and Cooperation Willingness

open access: yesJournal of Student Research
How can we turn herding behaviors into measurable human actions? How does cooperation willingness influence herding behavior? Is age an influencing factor to cooperation willingness and herding behavior? This paper answers these questions and proposes a new method to measure herding behavior in a non-financial environment without using empirical data ...

A comparison of thermal drones and camera trap population estimates for Sitka black‐tailed deer in Alaska

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a popular tool for population estimation. They have limitations, however, including long data processing times.

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Strengthening urban deer management with structured decision making

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban deer management (UDM) decision‐makers face social, ecological, regulatory, and economic pressures when creating an agreeable deer management plan for stakeholders. Historically, decision making techniques (e.g. consensus‐based analyses) have not effectively balanced UDM elements leading to short‐lived management progress.
