Environmental factors influencing detection of ring‐necked pheasant broods during August roadside surveys

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
We evaluated the influence of environmental factors on detection probability of ring‐necked pheasant broods surveyed during roadside surveys across 11 states. Wind speed, cloud cover, morning dew conditions, and soil moisture influenced detection probabilities and should be the focus of methodological or statistical control in future landscape‐scale ...

An Evaluation of the Distance at Which Direct Ecological Effects of Released Pheasants Extend Beyond Their Release Sites

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
In the UK, large numbers of pheasants are released into woodlands for recreational hunting, potentially impacting local ecosystems. A survey across 20 sites in Ancient Semi‐Natural Woodlands found that negative effects—such as fewer seedlings, lower plant richness and reduced decayed wood—were mostly confined within 500 m of release pens. Soil nutrient
