Evaluación de la efectividad de las trampas de tipo “walk-in” para capturar una rapaz neotropical, el Chimango (Milvago chimango), en diferentes ambientes [PDF]

, 2017
En muchos estudios sobre aves rapaces se requiere la captura de los individuos y la selección de la técnica de trampeo más efectiva puede ser crucial para alcanzar los objetivos del estudio.

Myelin Lipid Composition in the Central Nervous System Is Regionally Distinct and Requires Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Signaling

Glia, EarlyView.
Brain oligodendrocytes have lower rates of cholesterol synthesis and higher rates of lipoprotein uptake than spinal cord oligodendrocytes. Myelin lipid content is higher in CNS regions with larger average axon diameter. Brain and spinal cord myelin cholesterol content is innately different, while myelin fatty acid content can be modulated by fiber ...

Greater sage‐grouse seasonal habitat associations: A review and considerations for interpretation and management applications

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We examined habitat associations from second‐ and third‐order habitat selection studies conducted on greater sage‐grouse and summarize the types of designs used and the qualitative associations reported. We suggest a combination of study design choices and context‐dependence selection patterns can prohibit the transferability of study findings when the

Accurate prediction of olive‐sided flycatcher breeding status using song rate measured with autonomous recording units

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We tested whether autonomous recording units (ARUs) could be used to predict breeding status from singing rates in a boreal songbird. We found that 79% of observed proportions of birds in each breeding status were within the 95% credible interval of model‐predicted proportions, suggesting that ARUs may provide an efficient tool to monitor avian ...

Carnivore resource subsidies to support predator reintroductions and mitigate threats to reintroduced prey

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Supplementary feeding of reintroduced carnivores is a tool that may increase translocation success and ease predation pressure on prey populations at critical times. In this study, we monitored the activity of native prey, and the activity and diet of a reintroduced predator, the western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii), around carcass feeding stations in an

Spatial analysis of vehicular trauma and identification of hotspots in North Carolina chelonians

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Vehicular trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in chelonians admitted to the Turtle Rescue Team at North Carolina State University. This study used 15 years of retrospective data on turtle‐vehicular collisions to examine geospatial factors linked to vehicular mortality.

Urban Consumption of Thrushes in the Early Roman City of Pollentia, Mallorca (Spain)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the Roman city of Pollentia (Mallorca, Western Mediterranean), an exceptional zooarchaeological assemblage was recovered from a cesspit dated between the first century BC and the first century ad. The structure, situated in a commercial area adjacent to the forum, was connected to a food shop (taberna) via an underground drainage system ...

Avian diversity changes in traditional agricultural landscapes of Japan over ten years

Oikos, EarlyView.
Agricultural intensification is a leading cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. However, the traditional agroecosystems are often associated with high avian diversity because of their landscape heterogeneity, offering available niches to different bird species.

Responsible Marine Wildlife Viewing [PDF]

, 2006
Marine wildlife viewing is good for Alaska's economy, and good for the participants' souls. But is it good for the animals? The answer is yes, if boaters and tide-poolers use care when near the animals.

The breeding performance of raptors in urban landscapes: a review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2017
Global urbanisation is rapidly increasing and can have profound impacts on wild flora and fauna. For many species, the impacts are detrimental and irreversible, whereas others are able to colonise and apparently thrive in these novel, human-made ...
