Variation in behavior drives multi‐scale responses to habitat conditions in timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus)

Ecosphere, 2021
Variations in both the behavior of wildlife and the scale at which the environment most influences the space use of wild animals (i.e., scale of effect) are critical, but often overlooked in habitat selection modeling.

SURVIVAL, BEHAVIOR, AND PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF SURGICALLY IMPLANTED RADIOTRANSMITTERS ON RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEY POULTS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2010
: Estimates of survival and cause‐specific mortality of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) poults from hatching through recruitment are critical to population modeling and management.

RESOURCE SELECTION FOR FORAGING BY FEMALE MERRIAM'S WILD TURKEYS WITH POULTS IN THE SOUTHERN BLACK HILLS, SOUTH DAKOTA

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2010
: Knowledge of Merriam's wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo merriami) resource selection in the context of landscape attributes is an important asset for managing resources on multiple‐use public lands.

Assessing the Relationship between Gulls Larus spp. and Pacific Salmon in Central California Using Radiotelemetry

, 2015
Predation by marine birds has resulted in substantial losses to runs of Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp., in some cases necessitating management action.

Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

Drone‐based radiotelemetry and imagery systems provide an advantage over traditional techniques for estimating survival of dependent juveniles

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.

Preventing injuries caused by radiotelemetry collars in reintroduced red-rumped agoutis, Dasyprocta leporina (Rodentia: Dasyproctidae), in Atlantic Forest, southeastern Brazil

, 2013
Reintroduction has been recognized as a powerful conservation tool, but in order to ensure its success, animal monitoring is highly recommended. One way to monitor released animals is to put radiotelemetry collars on them.

Home range and habitat use by pacas in a montane tropical forest in Bolivia [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2017
We studied the home range and habitat use of paca (Cuniculus paca) in a rural agricultural community in the Alto Beni region, in La Paz department, Bolivia, where game meat is the main source of protein for a large portion of local inhabitants.

A continuous‐time random encounter and staying time (REST) model: Moving beyond temporal aggregation in camera‐trap density estimation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating wildlife population density is fundamental to ecology and conservation. While camera traps have revolutionized the monitoring of medium‐ to large‐sized mammals, estimating the density of unmarked populations remains a major challenge. Current models rely on a critical and often‐violated synchronized activity assumption.

Spatial organisation of badgers (<em>Meles meles</em>) in a medium-density population in Luxembourg

Hystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2010
<p><strong>Abstract</strong><br /> Any hypothesis aiming to explain the social organisation of Eurasian badgers <em>Meles meles</em> has to consider its wide inter-population variability.
