Integrating multiple surveys using state–space models improves inference of population trends for Illinois furbearers

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Long‐term population monitoring is fundamental to wildlife population management. Furbearer populations are often surveyed using multiple methods, but many estimates of their abundance, especially abundance indices, do not account for detection error, and lead to conflicting interpretations of population trends.

Nests in trees are as good as or better than cliffs for two formerly persecuted, primarily cliff nesting eagles in Spain: a cautionary tale in defining the habitat of range‐restricted or threatened species

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the late‐20th century, golden and Bonelli's eagles suffered population declines on the Iberian Peninsula, partly due to human persecution. Habitat assessments – especially for Bonelli's eagles – always found or assumed strong associations with cliffs that provided nesting sites.

Human‐Caused Leopard Deaths in Sri Lanka Are Concentrated in Central Highlands' Estate Mosaics: Evidence From 17 Years of Mortality Records 人为因素导致斯里兰卡豹死亡事件集中于中部高地种植园镶嵌景观:来自 17 年死亡记录的证据

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Human‐caused leopard deaths in Sri Lanka averaged 9.65 ± 4.5 records year−1 over 17 years (2008–2024; n = 164), with records highly clustered in the central highland mosaic ecosystem. Mortality was dominated by adult males and driven primarily by snaring in plantation landscapes, and indicating an increase approximately 0.7–0.8 deaths per year.

Rapid scavenging of avian carcasses in the desert Southwest: Implications for mortality surveys not associated with infrastructure

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We placed 214 avian carcasses in a desert environment at locations not associated with infrastructure and monitored their removal by scavengers using camera traps. We found that 211 of the 214 carcasses were scavenged and median persistence time was 1.53 days. None of the predictor variables were informative of carcass persistence times.

A Thermal‐Dependent Conductivity Coating for Surface Charge and Electric Field Mitigation Under Electrothermal Coupling Field

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The problem of gas–solid interface charge accumulation is an important reason for distorting the surface electric field and then inducing surface discharge. The temperature gradient distribution formed on the spacer during the operation of a gas‐insulated transmission line (GIL) will aggravate the surface charge accumulation, further ...
