Pearl millet demonstrates potential as a forage and cover crop in Wisconsin vegetable systems

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), a crop that is recognized for heat and drought tolerance and ability to suppress root‐lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans), could serve as a suitable forage and cover crop for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and vegetable production systems in Wisconsin.

Effects of off‐highway vehicle activity on Arizona wildlife: a systematic literature review

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
The published literature indicates that off‐highway vehicles (OHVs) predominantly negatively affect native Arizona amphibians, mammals, and reptiles, while effects of OHVs on native Arizona birds are mostly unknown or neutral. Abstract Off‐highway vehicle (OHV) recreation has dramatically increased in Arizona, USA, prompting concerns about potential ...

Exploring sources of uncertainty in the estimate of waterfowl harvest in the United Kingdom

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
There is an urgent need to gather data on harvest rates of waterbirds in Europe to assess the sustainability of hunting. Estimates of total waterbird harvest in the United Kingdom (UK) and the relative harvest of different huntable species come from two separate surveys, the Value of Shooting (PACEC 2014) and National Gamebag Census (NGC), and these ...

Primary nesting season designations on Conservation Reserve Program lands: Grassland bird breeding phenology and stakeholder perspectives

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Primary nesting season (PNS) dates under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) span the peak breeding of most grassland bird species, but some initiate breeding before and some continue after PNS, including species of conservation concern. Stakeholders disagree on PNS suitability, but agree that CRP “manages for the most”‐ a compromise between bird ...

Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 443-454, August 2026.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Metabolic consequences of overlapping food restriction and cell‐mediated immune response in a long‐distance migratory shorebird, the little ringed plover Charadrius dubius

Journal of Avian Biology, 2011
Investment in immunity is commonly viewed as an energetically costly activity in birds. Although several studies have focused on the energy cost of mounting an immune response and its concomitant physiological trade‐offs, nothing is known about the metabolic adjustments experienced by immunochallenged birds under resource ...

Community‐based social marketing is associated with shorebird responses along the U.S. Atlantic coast

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 8, August 2026.
We evaluated the biological effectiveness of community‐based social marketing (CBSM) campaigns designed to reduce human disturbance to shorebirds along the U.S. Atlantic coast. Using behavioral, point count, and nesting data from six species across five states, we found that campaigns encouraging beachgoers to walk around flocks, particularly when ...
