Food resource richness increases seed disperser visitations and seed rain richness. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Historically, studies on seed network connectivity and health use a top‐down approach, examining the abundance and distribution of seed dispersers on a landscape. In this study, we used a bottom‐up approach to examine how food resource richness at sites impacted the richness of the seed disperser community visiting each site and the richness of the ...

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

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2026.
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 ...

Restoration of Thicketized Post Oak Savanna Woodlands Increases Deep Drainage

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 1, January‐February 2026.
ABSTRACT Woody plant encroachment and subsequent thicketization is a global phenomenon that has been demonstrated to reduce groundwater recharge, yet it is unknown whether reducing woody plant cover will restore groundwater recharge rates to pre‐encroachment levels.

Assessing the potential of unoccupied aerial vehicles and deep learning to survey wild turkey populations

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
We flew UAVs with thermal cameras over roost locations of GPS‐tagged wild turkeys to assess the viability of UAVs as a population survey tool. We trained a deep‐learning model to detect and count turkeys in thermal video, and were able to incorporate environmental variables to accurately estimate the number of wild turkeys sampled.

Tree cover limits occupancy of a declining game bird

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Open forest ecosystems are considered one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America and many associated avian species are experiencing population declines. Management at large and impactful scales is challenging on private lands due to fragmentation and resource limitations, but public lands are often larger in scale and offer opportunities for

Invasive wild pig (Sus scrofa) diets on barrier islands in the southeastern United States

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 8, Page 3901-3911, August 2024.
Wild pigs on southeastern USA barrier islands exhibited a seasonal dietary shift to extensive foraging on beaches for crabs and other coastal invertebrates spring–summer during sea turtle nesting season. Abstract BACKGROUND Biological invasions are a leading cause of reductions in global biodiversity.

Survival and cause‐specific mortality of male wild turkeys across the southeastern United States

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 88, Issue 2, February 2024.
To better understand age‐specific estimates of annual survival and harvest rates for male wild turkeys, we captured and marked male wild turkeys with leg‐bands (n = 311) or bands and transmitters (n = 549) in Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina during 2014 – 2022.

Characterisation of Bioactive Compounds and In Vitro Anticancer and Anthelmintic Activities of Ilex khasiana, an Endangered Species of Holly From Mizoram, India

Scientifica, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Ilex khasiana Purkay. is a critically endangered species of holly found only in Khasi Hills and Mizoram, Northeast India. Of its several medicinal uses in the Khasi and Mizo traditional systems, the anticancer and anthelmintic applications remain unexplored.
