A model to predict the likelihood of cliff swallow nesting on highway structures in northern California

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Cliff swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) are colonially breeding migratory birds that frequently nest on highway structures. Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, people cannot harm swallows or their active nests. This restriction causes problems

Effects of landscape‐scale forest change on the range contraction of ruffed grouse in New York State, USA

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
In New York State, USA, the abundance of ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) has declined >75% since the 1960s. We hypothesized that range contraction of grouse in New York State was associated with broad‐scale spatial patterns relating to forest maturation ...

An Evaluation of Systematic Versus Strategically-Placed Camera Traps for Monitoring Feral Cats in New Zealand

Animals, 2019
We deploy camera traps to monitor feral cat (Felis catus) populations at two pastoral sites in Hawke’s Bay, North Island, New Zealand. At Site 1, cameras are deployed at pre-determined GPS points on a 500-m grid, and at Site 2, cameras are ...
