Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Availability bias and responsive movement during ground‐based wildlife surveys revealed by concurrent thermal drone surveys

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Methods to estimate abundance from unmarked populations of animals are widely used because of their efficiency and presumed accuracy. These methods account for imperfect detection by comparing observed data against the assumed distribution of the entire population.

From field to lab, facilitating non‐invasive genetic survey. Lessons from an arctic bird living at the edge, the rock ptarmigan in the French Alps

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta is an elusive species whose monitoring is hindered by its cryptic behavior and the difficulty in accessing its high‐elevation habitats. Although non‐invasive genetic sampling offers a promising alternative, its effectiveness can be constrained by DNA degradation and environmental conditions.

A proof of concept for linking individual identity to camera traps

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Small mammal movements are difficult to monitor, both visually and with remote tracking devices, due to the animals' small body size and elusive behavior. Cameras deployed at fixed locations can provide continuous, non‐invasive records in natural habitats, yet camera‐derived indices remain sparsely validated and generally do not allow inference at the ...
