Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species.

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Interannual dynamic resource selection patterns of the northern bobwhite in a region with poor edaphic conditions

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Understanding an organism's shifting resource needs throughout its life cycle is crucial for developing effective conservation strategies. Northern bobwhite Colinus virginianus populations have been declining for nearly a century due largely to habitat loss/degradation.

Ecological Assessments and Community‐Based Restoration: Co‐Designing a Vegetation Monitoring Protocol for Community Science in Mexico's Water Forest

Community Science, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Community science is a community‐led scientific mode of inquiry, sustained by social learning, for the purpose of transforming environmental governance. We present a case study of a community science initiative from Mexico's Water Forest, where a grassroots organization, the Milpa Alta Biological Monitoring Group, co‐designed a vegetation ...

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Human? Multi‐Scale Niche Partitioning Among Wolves And Mesocarnivores in a Human‐Dominated Landscape

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To determine whether carnivore sympatry is hierarchically structured across spatial scales, with broad landscape filters constraining distributions and fine‐scale behavioral adjustments shaping realized overlap, and to evaluate this framework during large carnivore recolonization in human‐dominated landscapes characterized by novel risks ...

Drought Responses in Mature European Beech Forests Vary Along Regional Environmental Gradients and Differ Among Admixed Tree Species

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Drought responses of European beech varied along regional environmental gradients, with greater resistance and resilience at warmer, drier sites. Tree‐ring δ13C and Ca increased during drought but were not related to growth responses. Contrasting responses among admixed species highlight the potential resilience benefits of mixed forests.
