Passive acoustic monitoring with AI‐based detection and identification reveal sooty grouse hooting patterns in western Oregon

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many bird species are monitored using auditory point count surveys during the breeding season. Autonomous recording units (ARUs) can be used to better understand the daily and seasonal timing of when a species is vocalizing, which can help align surveys with the time period when the maximum number of individuals are present. We used ARUs to improve our

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Anecdotes or Ecological Patterns: Symbiotic Foraging Behaviors in Coyotes and Badgers 奇特模式还是生态格局: 郊狼与獾的共生觅食行为

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using a 3‐year, broad‐scale camera‐trap network in western Kansas, we tested whether coyotes and American badgers exhibit spatiotemporal patterns consistent with coordinated hunting. Despite high diel activity overlap, detection‐conditioned co‐detections occurred far less frequently than expected under independence, and short‐term temporal sequencing ...

Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Identification of the inter‐decadal (2010‐2011) enhancement‐degradation gradients in the usable space for wild equid Herd Management Areas in the Great Basin, USA. Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system.
