Biological and environmental drivers of early life fawn survival in a declining pronghorn population

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Pronghorn Antilocapra americana occupy only a portion of their historical range and in Oklahoma occur at the eastern edge of the species' contemporary distribution. Monitoring has suggested pronghorn populations in Oklahoma have declined in recent years.

Regional coyote densities estimated from camera trapping covary with deer productivity, anthropogenic land use, and human–coyote conflicts

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 3, May 2026.
Density estimates assist conservation and management decisions. Unfortunately, management of elusive mesocarnivores occurring at low densities has often relied on qualitative metrics or population indices. The proliferation of camera trap sampling of wildlife provides an opportunity to apply recently developed methods for estimating density of unmarked

Identification of camera trap images by artificial intelligence and human experts produces similar multi‐species occupancy models

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
The use of a global AI classifier to identify species and reproducible pre‐ and post‐processing decisions makes our approach broadly applicable and particularly beneficial for national and international monitoring programs that collect large amounts of photo data on threatened, at risk, or management sensitive species and wildlife communities.

Space between houses influences movement and habitat selection of ungulates: Width as a novel metric of development

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
In rural areas, maintaining spaces between houses >500 m will likely facilitate ungulate movement. To fully conserve functional habitat, such as unimpeded habitat use along migration corridors, maintaining spaces approximately >2.5 km between houses will likely be necessary. Abstract Wildlife often lose access to habitat due to housing development. The

Mammals of the Genera Odocoileus and Sylvilagus

, 1940
Whilst visiting the Leeward Group, little time could be spared to the collecting of mammals; from Odocoileus and Sylvilagus however, a rather representative series could be obtained. Regarding this, I must offer my grateful thanks and appreciation to the people who so ably and kindly assisted in securing the specimens.

Deer activity limits tree recruitment in woodland creation sites

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Deer activity and browsing damage in woodland creation sites can be reduced through targeted management of structural attributes. Small, dense, structurally heterogeneous woodlands with low basal area are most vulnerable to deer impacts. To ensure continuous tree recruitment, localised deer activity should be minimised, while avoiding complete ...
