Urban bats show dietary flexibility in aquatic arthropod consumption at urban and rural waterbodies

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban waterbodies are critical for biodiversity and provide feeding grounds for insectivorous bats. Yet, how urbanisation affects bats' food choices at urban waterbodies and the role of emergent aquatic arthropods remain poorly understood. We compared the diet of three urban bat species – Vespadelus vulturnus, Chalinolobus gouldii,and Myotis macropus –

The effects of moose and pine density on browsing damage in Swedish pine forests

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Moose Alces alces is a culturally and economically important game species in Sweden, but their browsing on regenerating Scots pine trees Pinus sylvestris often causes extensive damage to the production and quality of timber. Forest and wildlife managers are faced with the dilemma of how to reduce damage to timber trees while also supporting moose ...

Road mortality mitigation for red wolves requires a landscape approach

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In 1980, the red wolf Canis rufus was declared extinct in the wild. However, starting in 1987, a captive breeding program allowed for a reintroduction effort in and around Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (Alligator River NWR), North Carolina, USA. In 2012 the wild red wolf population peaked at about 120 individuals.

Remotely enabling live traps for mesopredator capture: Potential benefits and use of time‐controlled trap access

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
A method is described for remotely controlling the interval of time available for live trap animal capture using a programmable door which controls animal access to a readied live trap within a housing structure. Based on management objectives or other considerations, utilities include the ability to eliminate repeat site visits in some contexts to set
