Decoupling climate and human impacts on the nitrogen cycle during the Irish Bronze Age
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Disentangling climate variability and human activity in past nitrogen cycling is key to understanding ecosystems. Previous studies in Ireland observed a widespread, permanent shift in terrestrial nitrogen cycling during Later Prehistory, potentially linked to intensifying land‐use.

Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services, and Land Use: Comparing Three Federal Policies [PDF]
Natural ecosystems provide a variety of benefits to society, known as “ecosystem services.” Fundamental to the provision of ecosystem services in a region is its underlying biodiversity, i.e., the wealth and variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Management of bison in Yellowstone National Park under the available strategies that maintained ≥3,500 individuals (1:1 sex ratio), removed <40% of the population at a time and prioritized relatives for removal were predicted to maintain genetic variation at levels consistent with long‐term conservation (>95% of existing variation).

Spatial and temporal variation in survival of female wild turkeys
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We monitored 370 female wild turkeys across North Carolina's 3 ecoregions from 2020‐2022 to understand factors influencing their survival. Female survival varied by ecoregion and behavior state, with the incubation period having the lowest survival rates. None of the land cover variables affected survival.

Natural wetlands: a nature-based solution for sediment load reduction?
, 2023 Natural wetlands are under threat in urbanizing areas, as development encroaches on waterway corridors and constructed waterways are built to convey runoff. At the same time, constructed wetlands are built to reduce pollutant loads from urban stormwater, mimicking natural wetland functions.

Comparing autumn duck use of intensely managed wetlands in Michigan using a novel approach
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Camera traps, a relatively novel method for assessing waterfowl use of wetlands, show ducks in southeastern Michigan are influenced by hunting disturbance, vegetation type, season progression, and diel period. Abstract Socioeconomic value derived from duck hunting has contributed to autumn habitat use becoming a particular focus for the natural ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Individual wild pig bait site visitation and time to initial detection is primarily influenced by space use (i.e., proximity to bait) and whether wild pigs from other social groups visited before. Specifically, females are less likely to visit a bait site if an adult male visits a site before them.
