Factors influencing wintering turfgrass field use in Atlantic brant

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Atlantic brant Branta bernicla hrota increasingly use turfgrass fields, such as baseball fields and golf courses, throughout their wintering range. Most studies have focused on their primary food source, submerged aquatic vegetation, while studies of other goose species worldwide have examined field use in different contexts, including agricultural ...

Resampling from the past to improve on MCMC algorithms [PDF]

open access: yes
We introduce the idea that resampling from past observations in a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler can fasten convergence. We prove that proper resampling from the past does not disturb the limit distribution of the algorithm.

Life‐history stages and behavior influence demographic classification of moose captured on remote cameras

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Obtaining accurate information on demographic states, such as the age and sex classes of animals, is an important step for monitoring wildlife populations. Traditionally, demographic data are collected from harvest, aerial surveys and telemetry studies.

Effects of forest treatments on nutritional carrying capacity for white‐tailed deer in mid‐rotation loblolly pine stands

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
In this study we compared nutritional carrying capacity (NCC) for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) among 6 treatment combinations in mid‐rotation loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) forests, including 3 levels of commercial thinning. We also paired each level of thinning with prescribed fire, prescribed fire with herbicide, or herbicide only ...
