Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Abundance and occupancy trends of sooty grouse in western Oregon: determining best modeling practices by comparing observed and simulated data

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Sooty grouse Dendragapus fuliginosus are large game birds that occupy montane forests in the Pacific Northwest, USA. These forests have been altered by human activities, which have been shown to have both positive and negative impacts on local populations.

Passive acoustic monitoring with AI‐based detection and identification reveal sooty grouse hooting patterns in western Oregon

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many bird species are monitored using auditory point count surveys during the breeding season. Autonomous recording units (ARUs) can be used to better understand the daily and seasonal timing of when a species is vocalizing, which can help align surveys with the time period when the maximum number of individuals are present. We used ARUs to improve our

Fear or feast: small mammal activity increases in the presence of carcasses despite increased threat of predation by black‐backed jackals

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Food acquisition is arguably the most important, and among the riskiest behaviours for most mammals. Carcasses are an ephemeral resource for many scavengers, particularly black‐backed jackals Lupulella mesomelas that prey on small mammals. Landscape of fear theory suggests that prey species should reduce their activity in areas of high predator ...

Individual Variation in Overwintering Strategies of the Great Evening Bat (Ia io) in Subtropical China 中国亚热带地区大足蝠 (Ia io) 越冬策略的个体差异

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Tracking with GPS and accelerometers shows that great evening bats in subtropical China use two overwintering strategies: some remain in continuous hibernation, while others switch between torpor and activity as temperatures change. This behavioral flexibility, shaped by climate, underscores the importance of protecting diverse roosting habitats for ...
