Biodiversity monitoring with intelligent sensors: An integrated pipeline for mitigating animal-vehicle collisions [PDF]

Nature Conservation
Transports of people and goods contribute to the ongoing 6th mass extinction of species. They impact species viability by reducing the availability of suitable habitat, by limiting connectivity between suitable patches, and by increasing direct mortality

Managing Wildlife Habitat: Complex Interactions With Biotic and Abiotic Disturbances

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Sustainable forest management strategies include emulating historical disturbance regimes to achieve multiple objectives. Partial-harvesting strategies are used to overcome conflicts between timber production and wildlife habitat conservation; however ...

Navigating the wildland-urban interface: Sensory pollution and infrastructure effects on mule deer behavior and connectivity

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023
Climate and land-use change are modifying the availability of food and water resources, which is driving more wildlife to the wildland-urban interface. For many wildlife populations, use of these areas still requires habitat connectivity both within the ...

Estimating and managing broad risk of chronic wasting disease spillover among cervid species

Ecosphere, 2023
The management of infectious wildlife diseases often involves tackling pathogens that infect multiple host species. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a prion disease that can infect most cervid species.

Ixodes scapularis density in US temperate forests shaped by deer, earthworms, and disparate factors at two scales

Ecosphere, 2022
Forest and wildlife management can help regulate the risk of human exposure to tick‐borne pathogens by influencing the population density of host‐seeking ticks and the pathogen infection prevalence in tick populations.

Deer management cooperative members’ likelihood of engaging in conservation initiatives: an importance-likelihood analysis

Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 2022
Although research indicates deer management cooperatives (DMCs) provide the needed means to influence large-scale resource management changes, research has yet to identify which conservation initiatives DMC members find important and would likely ...

Biodiversity and ecosystem services in the Frome catchment, Purbeck district, United Kingdom [PDF]

, 2013
A map for valuing ecosystem services in the 480 km2 Frome catchment, to investigate scenarios of change in land use, was internet crowd-sourced. Scouts mapped deer habitats in 15% of the 30 km2 Arne Parish, while 143 residents volunteered data on deer ...

Linking Hunter Knowledge with Forest Change to Understand Changing Deer Harvest Opportunities in Intensively Logged Landscapes

Ecology and Society, 2009
The effects of landscape changes caused by intensive logging on the availability of wild game are important when the harvest of wild game is a critical cultural practice, food source, and recreational activity.
