Assessing radio transmitter weight effect and evaluation of northern bobwhite chick survival in coastal North Carolina

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies on the earliest life stages are essential to our ecological understanding of avian demography; however, monitoring technologies that allow tracking of small birds are still limited in a variety of ways. One critical limitation, until recently, has been the development of methods for attaching transmitters to young birds with precocial ...

Fall bird migration in western North America during a period of heightened wildfire activity

Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2022
Billions of birds annually migrate between breeding and nonbreeding grounds in North America. During fall 2020, there was a series of alarming mass-mortality events of migratory birds across the western United States, with estimates of 100,000 to 1 ...

In pursuit of just elephant management: Making a case for legal reform

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Elephant management in South Africa remains entangled in legal, ethical, and ecological complexity. Despite the adoption of the 2008 Norms and Standards for Elephant Management and the 2016 Norms and Standards for the Management of Damage‐Causing Animals in South Africa, governance and management challenges persist across fenced reserves, open

Ducks across the pond ‐ challenges and opportunities for collaboration between North America and Europe

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Many waterfowl species and closely related congeners are shared across the Holarctic, and are culturally and economically important in both North America and Europe. Accordingly, both continents have developed science and management frameworks in an attempt to establish evidence‐based conservation practices for this guild of birds.

Strategic management of a widespread native interference competitor

Conservation Science and Practice
Implementing evidence‐based strategies to manage pest species is critical to limit global extinctions. The overabundance of a hyperaggressive native songbird—the noisy miner Manorina melanocephala—has emerged as a broad‐scale conservation issue in ...

Comparison of data handling techniques for modeling bat acoustic activity

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We deployed 169 acoustic recording units (A) across the Raystown Lake Project, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, USA (B). Echolocation recordings were used to evaluate alternative acoustic data handling methods and their effects on bat acoustic activity model predictions.

Winter severity for white‐tailed deer in Alberta, Canada

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Winter Severity Indices (WSIs) are especially important for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), a species for which population dynamics often are tied to winter conditions throughout much of their range. However, existing WSIs often oversimplify environmental variability, limiting their ability to support effective management decisions.
