Between Risk and Refuge: Anthropogenic Linear Features Serve as Barriers, Corridors, and Habitat for Eastern Copperheads (<i>Agkistrodon contortrix</i>). [PDF]
Urbanization introduces linear anthropogenic features which have potential to hinder or facilitate wildlife movement. Using 6 years of radiotelemetry (1950 relocations) on a population of eastern copperheads in an urban nature park, we found snakes consistently avoided road crossings, yet selected for roadside habitat, trail crossings, and powerline ...

A comparison of ultrasonic detectors and radiotelemetry for studying bat–habitat relationships
Ultrasonic bat detectors and radiotelemetry are 2 methods used to examine habitat selection for bats, but no one has empirically examined if conclusions drawn from these 2 methods are comparable and, although previous work has presented concerns ...

Output from VIP cells of the mammalian central clock regulates daily physiological rhythms [PDF]
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) circadian clock is critical for optimising daily cycles in mammalian physiology and behaviour. The roles of the various SCN cell types in communicating timing information to downstream physiological systems remain ...

RIO GRANDE TURKEY FEMALE SURVIVAL IN SOUTHCENTRAL KANSAS
: We used 127 radiomarked Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) females to estimate survival from March 1994 to March 1996 in Comanche and Clark counties, Kansas.

SURVIVAL AND CAUSE‐SPECIFIC MORTALITY OF MERRIAM'S TURKEYS IN THE SOUTHERN BLACK HILLS
: Merriam's turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo merriami) in the Black Hills feed in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forest habitats during winter, but some birds centralize winter activities within or near farmsteads that provide waste grain as supplemental ...

Challenges of measuring body temperatures of free-ranging birds and mammals [PDF]
The thermal physiology of most birds and mammals is characterised by considerable spatial and temporal variation in body temperature. Body temperature is, therefore, a key parameter in physiological, behavioural and ecological research.

Radiomarking brood‐rearing mallard females: Implications for juvenile survival
Radiotelemetry is frequently used to measure habitat use, movements, and survival in birds; presumably, outfitting adult females with radiotransmitters does not influence juvenile survival, but this critical assumption is rarely tested.

Recent Trends in Survival and Mortality of Wolves in Minnesota, United States
Survival is a key determinant of population growth and persistence; computation and understanding of this metric is key to successful population management, especially for recovering populations of large carnivores such as wolves.
