Greater prairie‐chicken nest survival and changes in vegetation structure and composition with conservation grazing

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We studied how conservation grazing influenced vegetation composition and structure and greater prairie‐chicken nest survival in northwestern Minnesota. We observed effects of grazing on vegetation in the year of grazing, but these changes dissipated by August of the post‐grazing year.

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.

Observability of eastern massasauga (Sistrurus catenatus) during visual encounter surveys in Michigan, USA

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Eastern massasauga rattlesnakes (EMR) can be difficult to detect, potentially hindering conservation efforts. We found that EMR were more detectable when daytime air temperatures were between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius, corresponding to when they were most exposed and aboveground.

Reproductive Traits of Zoo‐Bred and Wild‐Bred Eastern Massasaugas (Sistrurus catenatus) at Species Survival Plan® Conservation Breeding Centres and Other Facilities

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Based on 94 Massasauga litters born in human care, mean litter size and number of live young per litter were higher in wild‐bred than in zoo‐bred litters. Wild‐bred litters more often contained live young than did zoo‐bred litters. In zoo‐bred litters, dam mass was positively associated with above‐average reproductive output.
