Effects of northern bobwhite habitat management on avian species of conservation concern

Ecological Indicators
The umbrella species concept is often used as a tool to guide management decisions and focus efforts towards one focal species whose habitat needs overlap that of other species.

Map-based isolation of the leaf rust disease resistance gene Lr10 from the hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome [PDF]

, 2003
More than 50 leaf rust resistance W) genes against the fungal pathogen Puccinia triticina have been identified in the wheat gene pool, and a large number of them have been extensively used in breeding.

Finding the (small) cores: Spatial covariance tracks grassland bird community occupancy in fragmented grasslands

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Grasslands are an imperiled ecosystem, and grassland bird abundance is declining across North America. One of the strongest drivers for these declines is woody plant encroachment of grasslands. In the Great Plains and Sagebrush biomes of North America, spatial covariance—a remote‐sensing metric for tracking boundaries between vegetation types ...

The future of northern bobwhites and urbanization in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana

Discover Conservation
Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations have declined over recent decades, due in large part to habitat loss. This decline is concerning as the northern bobwhite is a popular game bird and an umbrella species for grassland-shrublands.

Neutral effects of low‐intensity dog training on northern bobwhite vital rates

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Indirect effects of hunting can lead to changes in population dynamics, which can be caused by trait‐mediated effects such as, but not limited to, changes in behavior, reproduction, and physiological responses. Our understanding of the effects of activities associated with hunting such as dog training may incur trait‐mediated effects, and ultimately ...

Using drones equipped with thermal cameras to locate and count quail individuals and coveys: A case study using Northern Bobwhite Colinus virginianus in Mississippi, USA

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
The presence and abundance of Northern Bobwhite Colinus virginianus often relies on imprecise methods (e.g. fall covey counts), which can lead to inaccurate estimates resulting in poor management practices.

Biology, Detection, and Management of Lecanosticta acicola: Emerging Challenges for the Management of Brown Spot Needle Blight in Pine Forests

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown spot needle blight (BSNB), caused by the fungus Lecanosticta acicola, is a widely distributed foliar disease of pines that causes needle necrosis, premature defoliation, and growth loss in both natural forests and commercial plantations. Although L.

Does weather drive habitat use and movement of a nonmigratory bird?

Ecosphere, 2023
Climate change is predicted to increase the intensity and frequency of weather extremes (e.g., extreme heat and drought), which will likely affect wildlife species in significant ways. Maintaining landscape heterogeneity has been suggested as a potential

Leveraging Long‐Term Ecological Research Initiatives Into the One Health Synthesis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We address important ecological and evolutionary considerations for advancing a One Health perspective by drawing attention to faunal and ecosystem changes occurring through the Great Plains of North America that have strong implications for future risk of emerging pathogens including zoonoses.
