Interannual dynamic resource selection patterns of the northern bobwhite in a region with poor edaphic conditions

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding an organism's shifting resource needs throughout its life cycle is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies. Northern bobwhite Colinus virginianus populations have been declining for nearly a century due largely to habitat loss/degradation.

Regional conservation planning tool: A spreadsheet model to support spatial prioritization and resource allocation decisions

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Prioritization is a central component of natural resource management because conservation needs routinely exceed available resources. Waterfowl and wetland conservation programs in North America are at the forefront of landscape‐scale prioritization and transboundary management decisions due to the migratory nature of ducks, geese, and swans ...

Assessing radio transmitter weight effect and evaluation of northern bobwhite chick survival in coastal North Carolina

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies on the earliest life stages are essential to our ecological understanding of avian demography; however, monitoring technologies that allow tracking of small birds are still limited in a variety of ways. One critical limitation, until recently, has been the development of methods for attaching transmitters to young birds with precocial ...

Assessment of Grades of Recommendations and Applicability of Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Green‐Top Guidelines: A Cross‐Sectional Study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) Green‐top Guidelines (GTGs) provide evidence‐based recommendations in women's health. Even where evidence is considered high quality, it is uncertain whether factors known to influence maternity outcomes are reflected in study design.

Environmental drivers influencing the ambrosia beetle community: The primary role of geographic and climatic drivers in chestnut‐growing areas

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ethanol‐baited traps were placed in cultivated chestnut orchards (a) and mixed environments with assorted tree composition (b), over a 2‐year monitoring period in two valleys (NW Italy). A total of 118,286 ambrosia beetles was collected, representing six species.

Optimising the Diagnosis of Sesame Seed Allergy With the Basophil Activation Test

Allergy, EarlyView.
The basophil activation test (using the activation marker CD203c) was the only test able to both exclude and confirm sesame seed allergy with precision. A negative skin prick test to sesame extract or tahini and undetectable IgE to Ses i 1 could not rule out sesame seed allergy.
