Mechanisms of Movement Patterns: Physiology and Sex Influence Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) Movement

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study tested physiological mechanisms of movement patterns in Gopher Tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) by using autonomous GPS loggers. Total distance traveled, but not home range area, was physiologically limited. Females traveled the same distance as males, but had smaller home range areas, which challenges traditional understanding of sex‐based ...

Movements of female exurban white‐tailed deer in response to controlled hunts

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2013
White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) thrive in exurban habitats, which results in increased occurrences of deer–human conflicts. Controlled hunts are one method currently used by managers to deal with increasing exurban deer populations. To develop

Predicted Stream Temperatures Suggest Challenges for Pacific Salmon in Coming Decades

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Stream temperature is a key performance driver for aquatic species and a direct metric of climate impacts. We adapted a stream temperature model to predict daily temperatures across the Pacific Northwest USA through 2100. Our results suggested that stream temperatures may rise by ~1°C by the 2050's and 2°C by the 2080's, with seasonal and ...

The Trajectory and Structural Integrity of Aerially Deployed Manufactured Baits for Canid Control

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In Australia, poison baits are aerially deployed in remote and inaccessible areas to mitigate invasive animal impacts. Program efficacy and compliance with mandated distance restrictions require accurate bait distribution but deployment accuracy and precision have not been evaluated for Doggone manufactured baits.

RFID system improves post‐release monitoring of three difficult‐to‐monitor threatened species in conservation translocations

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
The greater stick‐nest rat is a threatened Australian endemic rodent that has been the subject of several conservation translocations to restore populations within its former historical range. However, the species has proven difficult to monitor following release.

A generalized method to determine detectability of rare and cryptic species using the ornate box turtle as a model

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Estimates regarding population parameters are often based on data from surveys. To ensure that such estimates are as accurate as possible, it is important to know the detectability resulting from the particular survey method used.

Integrity and retention of ear‐tag radiotransmitters in domestic cattle and feral horses

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Radiotelemetry is an important tool for wildlife management and research, but in some cases attachment of neck collars can be problematic. An alternative in large mammals is to attach transmitters to the ear, though little is published about ear‐tag ...

Global determinants of home range sizes in felids: Evidence of human disturbance impact

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 697-711, April 2026.
This study is the first to demonstrate the influence of anthropogenic factors and species richness in felids on home range size across the entire felid taxon. Felids are a taxon of major interest in conservation biology, and gaining a comprehensive view of their spatial ecology will help derive global conservation recommendations.

movetrack: An R package to model flight paths from radio‐telemetry networks

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1069-1081, April 2026.
Abstract Tracking small‐ to large‐scale movements of animals is important for studying their interactions with the environment, including how they adjust and adapt their migration in response to environmental and human‐induced changes. Despite the technical progress in tracking devices, a major challenge remains for small animals—such as songbirds ...
