Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.

Monitoring wildlife using long‐endurance solar‐electric UAVs

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
This report discusses the effectiveness of using small solar‐electric UAV (uncrewed aerial vehicles) for aerial wildlife monitoring. We review four years of aerial wildlife monitoring missions using a 5.5‐m wingspan, solar‐electric UAV that was equipped with a gimballed IR/RGB camera.

Micro‐habitat selection by boreal woodland caribou improves access to food

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Bio‐logging sensors attached to radiotelemetry receivers have great potential to transform our understanding of the ecological, physiological, and energetic constraints that shape patterns of wildlife movement under field conditions. We used video camera collars to assess microhabitat selectivity by woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus in boreal forests ...

Reliability-Based Calibration of Design Wind Load, Snow Load and Companion Load Factors Considering Climate Change Effect

, 2020
Wind load and snow load are two of the environmental loads that need to be considered for structural design. This study compared the statistical characteristics of the annual maximum thunderstorm and non-thunderstorm winds based on the updated wind speed dataset and carried out the extreme value analysis for wind load by treating the synoptic and ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.

Monitoring the effects of ovariectomy on seasonal movement behavior in suburban female white‐tailed deer using internet of things‐enabled devices

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Abundant deer populations often cause conflicts in suburban communities, yet traditional population reduction methods, such as controlled hunting, can be challenging to implement. Fertility control, specifically through ovariectomy, can limit reproduction and reduce populations in certain settings, but its effect on movement behavior remains poorly ...
