Monitoring active osprey nests with drones is more time efficient and less disturbing than conventional methods

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Drones are used to monitor bird nesting sites at less accessible locations, such as on cliffs, human infrastructure, or within the tree canopy. While there are a growing number of studies documenting avian behavioral responses to various drones, there is a continued need to monitor taxa‐specific responses to different drone models. We explored both the

Differences in mammal community response to highway construction across different levels of human land use

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

Hunting, but not outdoor recreation, modulates behavioural tolerance to human disturbance in Alpine marmots Marmota marmota

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Humans are often perceived as predators by free‐living animals, and thus, even non‐consumptive human activities such as outdoor recreation may trigger behavioural and physiological responses, often with negative consequences on individual fitness and population persistence.

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

The performance of drones and artificial intelligence for monitoring sage‐grouse at leks

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurately monitoring sage‐grouse populations is critical for conservation, yet traditional ground‐based visual surveys face challenges in scalability and consistency, prompting the exploration of innovative drone‐based methodologies enhanced by artificial intelligence.
