Ecovoltaic solar energy development can promote grassland bird communities

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 12, Page 3341-3354, December 2025.
Our findings suggest that properly sited and developed ecovoltaic solar facilities in human altered landscapes can improve habitat for birds and other wildlife, but further research is needed to understand which species may benefit most from these novel ecosystems.

Integrating Agroforestry Practices for Wildlife Habitat (2008) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
"Agricultural practices and land-use decisions influence wildlife habitat and use by wildlife. Some actions can enhance habitats, while others negatively impact wildlife. Certain land-use practices have resulted in a decrease in the quality and diversity

Ecological immunology of mosquito-malaria interactions: Of non-natural versus natural model systems and their inferences [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
There has been a recent shift in the literature on mosquito/Plasmodium interactions with an increasingly large number of theoretical and experimental studies focusing on their population biology and evolutionary processes.

A global review of the conservation status of true quails (Families Odontophoridae and Phasianidae)

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Understanding the conservation status of species is imperative to stem global declines. To better inform conservation, we summarized the global conservation status of New World (Family Odontophoridae) and Old World (Family Phasianidae) true quail species.

Raptor selection of captive reared and released Galliform birds

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Captive rearing and release of birds in the order Galliformes remains a popular management tactic despite low survival rates. We investigated avian predator selection of captive‐reared northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) as a potential driver of ...

Tree cover limits occupancy of a declining game bird

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.
Open forest ecosystems are considered one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America and many associated avian species are experiencing population declines. Management at large and impactful scales is challenging on private lands due to fragmentation and resource limitations, but public lands are often larger in scale and offer opportunities for

Two centuries of human‐mediated gene flow in northern bobwhites

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
The northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus; hereafter, bobwhite) population decline has prompted several studies over the past decade investigating bobwhite population genetics and overall connectivity. The zeitgeist of current quail conservation is that

Predator activity, proactive anti‐predator strategies and nesting phenology produce a dynamic landscape of risk to tundra goose reproduction

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2282-2294, November 2025.
We show that Arctic and red fox space use significantly affects goose nest habitat selection and nest success in a low‐Arctic tundra ecosystem. However, the impact of fox predation depended on the location and timing of incubation of the nest, demonstrating the importance of incorporating time into the ‘landscape of fear’ concept.

Application of passive acoustic monitoring to compare avian populations in perennial grasslands and croplands in Nebraska

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Using passive acoustic monitoring, researchers in Nebraska found that perennial grasslands support greater species richness of grassland obligates and at‐risk birds than croplands throughout most of the migration and breeding season. Abstract Perennial grasses, such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), have emerged as a promising and reliable feedstock ...
