Further development of camera‐based estimates of abundance for unmarked animals

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Estimating abundance is a cornerstone of wildlife management, conservation, and research, and a variety of approaches have been developed to meet this need. Camera traps have been used to estimate abundance for decades, with earlier deployments using a mark–recapture framework and requiring uniquely identifiable individuals.

Environmental and temporal factors affecting record white‐tailed deer antler characteristics in Ontario, Canada

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Antler characteristics are influenced by a combination of genetics, age, and environmental factors, notably habitat quality and resource availability. In this study, we explored how diverse environmental factors, including climate and land cover composition, affect antler size, tine configuration, and the distribution of record‐scoring white‐tailed ...

Wild pig habitat use impacted by prescribed fire in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, USA

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Natural resource management activities like integrated wild pig control programs and 3–5‐year interval prescribed burning can reduce wild pig activity and habitat but can have an unintended side effect of allowing them to thrive in sensitive and protected areas, where access and tools are restricted.

Annual survival in a dynamic species: pronghorn survival patterns across their northern range

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Quantifying variation in demographic patterns, such as survival and recruitment, is critical for understanding population dynamics and informing evidence‐based and adaptive wildlife management. In this study, we leverage an extensive dataset from over 1000 GPS collared pronghorn Antilocapra americana to provide the first large‐scale evaluation of ...
