The performance of drones and artificial intelligence for monitoring sage‐grouse at leks
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Accurately monitoring sage‐grouse populations is critical for conservation, yet traditional ground‐based visual surveys face challenges in scalability and consistency, prompting the exploration of innovative drone‐based methodologies enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Many mesocarnivores have low detection rates that hinder practitioners' abilities to implement effective monitoring strategies. Using olfactory attractants (i.e. lures) may increase detection rates, but variation in effects among species is not well understood.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used drone‐based radiotelemetry and multispectral imagery to estimate detection and survival probabilities of blue‐winged teal broods in Saskatchewan, Canada. Weekly brood survival probabilities, estimated via Cormack‐Jolly‐Seber models, increased with age and were comparable between drone methods.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Energized fences were effective at reducing black bear damage to bird feeders. The fences were 100% effective in a good natural bear food year and 77% effective in a poor natural bear food year. When bears breached the fences, the cause was typically poor electrical grounding.

Design considerations for breeding waterfowl surveys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.This study evaluated how different survey designs affect the accuracy and precision of breeding waterfowl population estimates in Iowa's Prairie Pothole Region. Using aerial survey data from 2016–2018, we found that conducting at least 2 visits per season reduced bias in pair estimates, particularly for wood ducks and blue‐winged teal, while mallard ...
