Predicting pup‐rearing habitat for Mexican wolves

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We developed predictive models of pup‐rearing habitat (i.e., den and rendezvous sites) that could help guide future population monitoring efforts of Mexican wolves. Mexican wolves selected den sites at higher elevations in steeper and rougher terrain that was closer to permanent waterbodies but farther from rural roads, whereas selection of rendezvous ...

Social composition of soft‐release groups is correlated with survival of translocated gopher tortoises

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) are often translocated into soft‐release enclosures with individuals from many other source sites. In a long‐term study of marked, translocated, adults and subadults, we found that survival in high‐density enclosures was higher for individuals with a greater number of potentially familiar individuals co ...

Greater sage‐grouse seasonal habitat associations: A review and considerations for interpretation and management applications

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We examined habitat associations from second‐ and third‐order habitat selection studies conducted on greater sage‐grouse and summarize the types of designs used and the qualitative associations reported. We suggest a combination of study design choices and context‐dependence selection patterns can prohibit the transferability of study findings when the

Accurate prediction of olive‐sided flycatcher breeding status using song rate measured with autonomous recording units

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We tested whether autonomous recording units (ARUs) could be used to predict breeding status from singing rates in a boreal songbird. We found that 79% of observed proportions of birds in each breeding status were within the 95% credible interval of model‐predicted proportions, suggesting that ARUs may provide an efficient tool to monitor avian ...

Carnivore resource subsidies to support predator reintroductions and mitigate threats to reintroduced prey

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding of reintroduced carnivores is a tool that may increase translocation success and ease predation pressure on prey populations at critical times. In this study, we monitored the activity of native prey, and the activity and diet of a reintroduced predator, the western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii), around carcass feeding stations in an
