Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Most ungulate populations are regulated by hunting, and harvest rate is regulated through quotas and hunting season duration. Hunting is well known to affect behaviour of ungulates, but how annual variation in quotas and hunting season duration affects individual behaviour remains uncertain.

Can edge AI mitigate environmental effects on camera trap performance?
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.A camera trap enabled with edge artificial intelligence (AI) mitigated the effects of increased air temperature on the probability of false positive detections, but at the cost of an increased probability of missed detections. Other environmental variables affected camera trap performance differently, suggesting the need to account for camera trap ...

Using fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the animal diet of black rails, yellow rails, and soras
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used fecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate the diet of yellow rails, Eastern black rails, and sora during the non‐breeding season. Arthropods, particularly ants, were prevalent in their diets, suggesting possible interactions with invasive red imported fire ants.
