Three‐dimensional digital analysis of musteloid masticatory muscle architecture
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Musteloids span an enormous breadth of dietary modes within a single superfamily. In this study, we utilize digital dissection techniques to reconstruct the internal 3D anatomy of muscles within the musteloid feeding apparatus, and explore how dietary specializations might alter the size, orientation, and curvature of fascicles therein.

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) survival in southwestern Oregon
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We captured and monitored radio‐collared ringtails over 2 years to estimate monthly and annual survival rates. We found that annual survival rates were much higher within forested landscapes in Oregon than for populations in the southwestern United States.

Built it, but did they come? Monitoring winter feeding station use by endangered long‐tailed gorals
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Emergency feeding stations successfully supported endangered long‐tailed gorals during severe winter weather, with high utilization driven by snow depth. Because localized feed depletion triggered intraspecific conflict, managers should implement spatially dispersed feeding networks to optimize survival interventions for vulnerable populations ...

Evaluation of the marking duration of iophenoxic acid (IPA) derivatives in raccoons (Procyon lotor)
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We evaluated the marking duration and intensity of iophenoxic acid (IPA) analogues in raccoon (Procyon lotor) serum following consumption of test doses encapsulated in a marshmallow or formulated into an oral rabies vaccine bait matrix. The IPA biomarkers demonstrated utility for evaluation of oral rabies vaccination baiting strategies targeting ...
