Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Renewable energy is vital for reducing carbon emissions and yet its infrastructure poses challenges to biodiversity. While the impacts of wind power on bats and raptors are well‐studied, the effects on elusive species remain largely unknown. The Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola, a nocturnal forest bird, performs characteristic courtship flights at ...

Boom‐Bust Dynamics Drive Community‐Wide Dietary Structuring in Desert‐Dwelling Raptors [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how boom‐bust productivity dynamics affected dietary structuring within raptor communities of an arid bioregion. We found that higher productivity was associated with high dietary overlap, lower niche breadth and greater foraging on small mammals; however, raptors that were nomadic exhibited greater specialisation regardless of ...

Evaluation of drones as a tool for multi‐species nest surveys on linear rights‐of‐way
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.This paper examines the use of drones with infrared cameras as a tool in the detection of bird nests on linear rights‐of‐way, in comparison to standard ground‐based nest surveys. Abstract The varying application of drone use in wildlife research has expanded in recent years. With the ability to utilize a variety of different sensors (e.g., infrared [IR]

Ultrasound-Guided Femoral and Sciatic Nerve Blocks for Repair of Tibia and Fibula Fractures in a Bennett's Wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus) [PDF]
, 2016 Locoregional anesthetic techniques may be a very useful tool for the anesthetic management of wallabies with injuries of the pelvic limbs and may help to prevent capture myopathies resulting from stress and systemic opioids’ administration.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Our study demonstrates how life history trade‐offs and pair bonds influence winter roosting in red kites. Analysing long‐term GPS data from 216 individuals, we reveal marked behavioural plasticity in communal roosting: young, non‐breeding males are most likely to join communal roosts, whereas breeding pairs predominantly roost together near their ...
