Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...

Abundance estimates of eastern black rails in southeastern Colorado
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.This study estimated eastern black rail (Laterallus jamaicensis jamaicensis) detection, occupancy, and abundance in southeastern Colorado. We found detection probability increased later in the season and later at night but decreased with ambient noise. Occupancy increased with residual vegetation height and detection of Virginia rail (Rallus limicola).

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Trait distributions provide insight into how niches overlap within a broader trait space. By integrating individual‐level trait observations from different communities, we can explore how facets of trait dimensionality vary across environmental conditions.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We tested a suite of ecological hypotheses to explain variation in seasonal body mass dynamics of a fat‐storing mammalian hibernator. We further demonstrated that pre‐hibernation mass gain in ground squirrels mediates an annual allocation trade‐off between current and future reproduction as the squirrels forage and rear young under predation risk ...

The Consequences of Soil Organic Carbon for Crop Yield, Farm Productivity and Profit
Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Crop choices affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, allowing farmers to manipulate the amount of carbon sequestered in the soil over time. This paper examines the private and public benefits of crop rotations that sequester additional carbon across the province of Saskatchewan, Canada using a novel field‐level dataset from the Saskatchewan ...
