Energized fences were effective at reducing black bear damage to bird feeders. The fences were 100% effective in a good natural bear food year and 77% effective in a poor natural bear food year. When bears breached the fences, the cause was typically poor electrical grounding.

Evaluation of drones as a tool for multi‐species nest surveys on linear rights‐of‐way
This paper examines the use of drones with infrared cameras as a tool in the detection of bird nests on linear rights‐of‐way, in comparison to standard ground‐based nest surveys. Abstract The varying application of drone use in wildlife research has expanded in recent years. With the ability to utilize a variety of different sensors (e.g., infrared [IR]

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

ABSTRACT Territorial advertising in lions involves a suite of behaviors such as patrolling, scent marking, spraying, and vocalizing. In their native tropical habitat, wild lions are primarily nocturnal, capitalizing on cooler temperatures and darkness for effective hunting and minimizing thermoregulation stress.
