Genetic parallelism between European flat oyster populations at the edge of their natural range
Although all marine ecosystems have experienced global‐scale losses, oyster reefs have shown the greatest. Therefore, substantial efforts have been dedicated to restoration of such ecosystems during the last two decades. In Europe, several pilot projects

CHARACTERISTICS OF WINTER ROOST AND ACTIVITY SITES OF WILD TURKEYS IN MINNESOTA
: Selection of winter microhabitats that minimize heat loss from wind and radiation can potentially reduce thermoregulatory energy requirements and increase survival of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo).

Mating Frequency of European Corn Borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in Minnesota, Kansas, and Texas [PDF]
The frequency of mating and polyandry in natural populations are important parameters for understanding evolutionary dynamics. Mating frequency among natural populations of Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) [Lepidoptera: Crambidae] are quite variable.

Reliability assessment of null allele detection: inconsistencies between and within different methods [PDF]
Microsatellite loci are widely used in population genetic studies, but the presence of null alleles may lead to biased results. Here we assessed five methods that indirectly detect null alleles, and found large inconsistencies among them.

Using GPS collars to determine parturition and cause‐specific mortality of moose calves
Global positioning system (GPS) collars have been deployed on adult moose (Alces americanus) and other ungulates to study various aspects of their ecology, but until the current study they have not been fitted to moose neonates.

ENERGY REQUIREMENTS FOR WINTER SURVIVAL OF WILD TURKEYS
: As wildlife managers expand the range of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) beyond ancestral northern limits, information on the tolerance of wild turkeys for severe winter weather becomes increasingly important.
