A framework for the ethical use of animal‐borne devices in post‐release monitoring following rehabilitation

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Rehabilitation and release contribute to conservation efforts for threatened species. Ensuring that these efforts are effective requires a good understanding of the factors which determine survival and integration of released animals into wild populations.

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

Integrating telemetry data into spatial capture–recapture modifies inferences on multi‐scale resource selection

open access: yesEcosphere, 2018
Estimating population size and resource selection functions (RSFs) are common approaches in applied ecology for addressing wildlife conservation and management objectives.

Estimating density for species conservation: Comparing camera trap spatial count models to genetic spatial capture-recapture models

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2018
Density estimation is integral to the effective conservation and management of wildlife. Camera traps in conjunction with spatial capture-recapture (SCR) models have been used to accurately and precisely estimate densities of “marked” wildlife ...

Density estimations of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in the Swiss Alps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Use of photographic capture—recapture analyses to estimate abundance of species with distinctive natural marks has become an important tool for monitoring rare or cryptic species, or both.

Comparative evaluation of noninvasive DNA sampling and line transect surveys for spring density estimation of black grouse and capercaillie

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reliable abundance estimates provide essential information in ecology, conservation and management of many wild grouse populations. In this 3‐year study, we comparatively evaluate the suitability of traditional line transect distance sampling of flushed birds versus a spatial capture–recapture survey with noninvasive DNA samples for individual ...

Assessing physiological, behavioral and movement responses to Suprelorin implant delivery methods in free‐ranging eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Overabundant populations of eastern grey kangaroos Macropus giganteus in peri‐urban areas pose ecological and social challenges. Current management strategies are often hindered by animal welfare and logistical concerns. This study aimed to assess stress responses of kangaroos to two contraceptive delivery methods.

Towards automated animal density estimation with acoustic spatial capture-recapture.

open access: yesBiometrics
Passive acoustic monitoring can be an effective way of monitoring wildlife populations that are acoustically active but difficult to survey visually, but identifying target species calls in recordings is non-trivial.

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

open access: yesWildlife 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 ...
