Importance of woody patches and vegetation heterogeneity in Texas tortoise microhabitat use

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Microhabitat sites provide important resources and thermal conditions to reptile species that can vary spatially and temporally. This study assessed Texas tortoise Gopherus berlandieri microhabitat use and its relationship with carapace temperature during their active (April–October) and inactive seasons (November–March) between January 2023 and ...

A literature‐based framework for anticipating golden jackal Canis aureus colonisation: insights from Europe and a Swiss case study

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The expansion of the golden jackal Canis aureus in Europe, caused mainly by habitat fragmentation, climate change and the decline of large carnivores until half a century ago, poses emerging challenges for newly colonised regions. With the arrival of a new species, potential effects on local animal communities, hunting, livestock husbandry or the ...

Interactions between prairie dogs and arthropods in grassland ecosystems: a review and research gaps

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.) are an important component of grassland ecosystems of North America where they can alter vegetation composition/structure and physical attributes of grassland habitats through their feeding and burrowing behavior. Impacts of prairie dog presence on many wildlife and plant taxa have been widely studied but research on prairie

Movement and Space Use Patterns of the Beale's Eyed Turtle (Sacalia bealei) Suggest Sensitivity to Environmental Changes and Poaching 比氏眼斑龟 (Sacalia bealei) 的活动与空间利用模式揭示其对环境变化及盗猎的敏感性

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using radiotelemetry, we found that the movement and home range of the endangered Sacalia bealei varied significantly across reproductive classes and seasons, with males exhibiting greater movement than females during wet and mating seasons. The species exhibits strong aquatic dependence, favoring deep pools interspaced among riffle‐pool sequences ...

Field evaluations of thermal optics and tracking tunnels for small mammal surveys at airports and grass dominated habitats

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained
