Maximizing the detection probabilities of dusky grouse for population monitoring

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Despite its status as a game species in the western USA, rigorous monitoring of dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus populations is limited. Obtaining an adequate number of observations for effective population monitoring of dusky grouse is challenging due to difficult‐to‐reach montane habitats, cryptic behaviors, and limited personnel, time, and funds at

Navigating a landscape of contrasting hunting regimes and habitats: red deer responses to risk and resources

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Habitat selection of ungulates is influenced by various factors, with human interactions playing a significant role. Human disturbances through hunting strongly affect ungulate behaviour, often forcing them to modify their habitat choices by avoiding areas where the risk from humans outweighs other habitat benefits. Gaining insights into these dynamics

Patterns in lek persistence and attendance by lesser prairie‐chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) near a wind energy facility in southern Kansas

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As wind energy development expands across the Great Plains, there is potential to adversely affect species that require undisturbed tracts of native grasslands, such as the lesser prairie‐chicken Tympanuchus pallidicinctus. Effects of wind development on lesser prairie‐chicken (LEPC) movement and demographic rates have been minimal when turbines are ...

Pre‐Sunrise Equatorial Plasma Bubble Over Indonesia During the 11 May 2024 Super Geomagnetic Storm

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
Equatorial Plasma Bubbles (EPBs) generally form around sunset in equatorial to low‐latitude regions. However, based on observations of the rate total electron content (TEC) change index (ROTI) map over Indonesia and the ionosonde data from the Southeast ...

Heading west: ecology of swift foxes in a novel landscape beyond their range

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The swift fox Vulpes velox is generally associated with the short‐grass prairie ecosystem of the North American Great Plains; a system that has declined by approximately 50% over the last century. Yet, swift fox populations seem to demonstrate regional variation in trends, with some populations declining while others appear stable to increasing.

Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

Tree cover limits occupancy of a declining game bird

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Open forest ecosystems are considered one of the most imperiled ecosystems in North America and many associated avian species are experiencing population declines. Management at large and impactful scales is challenging on private lands due to fragmentation and resource limitations, but public lands are often larger in scale and offer opportunities for
