Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Are scats and radiotelemetry data similar indicators of habitat use ?

, 1998
In the desert zones of Northern Mexico, the main economical activity is the raising of cattle. In the Mapimi Biosphere reserve, located in the Chihuahuan desert, exists two kinds of cattle : feral and domestic.

Thermal‐UAV assisted detection and relocation of roe deer fawns in managed grasslands

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Advancements in modern fodder production have unintentionally increased wildlife mortality during grass mowing operations. Roe deer Capreolus capreolus fawns are particularly vulnerable because they remain motionless as a predator‐avoidance strategy. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with thermal sensors offer a promising method for detecting ...

Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita) habitat selection and movement are shaped by tree microhabitat availability in Eastern Romanian Carpathians

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1015-1030, September 2026.
We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Integrating telemetry data into spatial capture–recapture modifies inferences on multi‐scale resource selection

Ecosphere, 2018
Estimating population size and resource selection functions (RSFs) are common approaches in applied ecology for addressing wildlife conservation and management objectives.

Effects of Classical Music on Behavioral and Physiological Stress Markers in Socially Isolated Prairie Voles

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1563, Issue 1, September 2026.
Social isolation contributes to behavioral, physiological, and neuroendocrine dysfunction. In prairie voles, classical music exposure significantly reduced validated anxiety‐ and depression‐related behavioral responses and improved cardiac and endocrine measures as a function of chronic social isolation, with minor sex differences.

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.

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

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2424-2435, August 2026.
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.

Use of radiotelemetry to assess perinatal cardiac function in the ovine fetus and newborn

, 2017
The late gestation fetal ECG (fECG) has traditionally been difficult to characterize due to the low fECG signal relative to high maternal noise. Although new technologies have improved the feasibility of its acquisition and separation, little is known ...

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 ...
