Helminths and the northern bobwhite population decline: A review
Long‐term data from the Breeding Bird Survey and Christmas Bird Count indicate that northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus; hereafter, bobwhite) populations have declined since 1961 in all but 1 of the 31 states they occupy within the United States. This

Appropriate habitat management may be one of the most important factors contributing to Northern Bobwhite ( Colinus virginianus ) population persistence, but biologists lack information on how individual bobwhite select roost sites during the breeding ...

Nonconsumptive effects of hunting on a nontarget game bird
Human hunting activity and disturbance can significantly impact prey species through both consumptive and nonconsumptive effects. The nonconsumptive effects of rabbit hunting on Northern Bobwhite (Colinus virginianus; hereafter, bobwhite) are currently ...

Don't break a leg: Running birds from quail to ostrich prioritise leg safety and economy in uneven terrain [PDF]
Cursorial ground birds are paragons of bipedal running that span a 500-fold mass range from quail to ostrich. Here we investigate the task-level control priorities of cursorial birds by analysing how they negotiate single-step obstacles that create a ...

Partial Depredations on Northern Bobwhite Nests
Partial clutch loss following a predation event is rarely studied in ground-nesting birds despite predation often being the leading cause of nest failure. Partial nest depredation occurs when predators attack but leave some eggs intact. Using continuous video monitoring, we documented a total of 372 initial predation events at nests of Northern ...

Factors Influencing Trapping Success of Northern Bobwhites
ABSTRACT Capturing animals is a critical component of many ecological research projects. Factors that increase capture success can save time, money, and improve inference. Even though northern bobwhites ( Colinus virginianus ) are intensively studied, little information ...

We evaluated the influence of environmental factors on detection probability of ring‐necked pheasant broods surveyed during roadside surveys across 11 states. Wind speed, cloud cover, morning dew conditions, and soil moisture influenced detection probabilities and should be the focus of methodological or statistical control in future landscape‐scale ...
