Long-term effects of chronic light pollution on seasonal functions of European blackbirds (turdus merula) [PDF]

, 2013
Light pollution is known to affect important biological functions of wild animals, including daily and annual cycles. However, knowledge about long-term effects of chronic exposure to artificial light at night is still very limited.

Spatial and temporal variation in survival of female wild turkeys

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We monitored 370 female wild turkeys across North Carolina's 3 ecoregions from 2020‐2022 to understand factors influencing their survival. Female survival varied by ecoregion and behavior state, with the incubation period having the lowest survival rates. None of the land cover variables affected survival.

Comparing autumn duck use of intensely managed wetlands in Michigan using a novel approach

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Camera traps, a relatively novel method for assessing waterfowl use of wetlands, show ducks in southeastern Michigan are influenced by hunting disturbance, vegetation type, season progression, and diel period. Abstract Socioeconomic value derived from duck hunting has contributed to autumn habitat use becoming a particular focus for the natural ...

Application of passive acoustic monitoring to compare avian populations in perennial grasslands and croplands in Nebraska

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Perennial grasses, such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), have emerged as a promising and reliable feedstock for bioenergy production, offering a potential alternative to conventional feedstocks (e.g. corn).

Morphology and biomechanics of the nests of the Common Blackbird Turdus merula [PDF]

, 2015
Capsule Common blackbirds select different materials, with varying biomechanical properties, to construct different parts of their nest. Aims This study tested the hypothesis that outer components of a nest have a more structural role and so are ...

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Quantifying the cumulative impact of winter habitat loss on a critically endangered migratory parrot

Conservation Science and Practice
Habitat loss is a major driver of biodiversity decline, often occurring in a slow‐paced, piecemeal way. The cumulative impacts of such loss can be substantial for threatened species but are challenging to quantify and thus factor into planning decisions ...

The Building Breathes Together [PDF]

, 2018
The Building Breathes Together presents a realm of speculative, industrial habitation and alchemical production. In my instillation, I look to raise questions surrounding romantic notions of production and utility.
