Monitoring rodents' life history by body temperature and activity

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
European hamster populations are rapidly declining all over their distribution area. One of the suggested reasons is a strong and ongoing decrease in the reproductive output of about 77% since the nineteen twenties. The cause of this decline is, however, unknown.

Winter severity and hunter observations of fawn:doe ratios predict antlered white‐tailed deer harvest success

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurate forecasts of white‐tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus harvest success are important for managing hunter expectations to promote continued participation in recreational harvest. From 2006 to 2024, we assessed whether annual antlered deer harvest success could be estimated using proxies for deer survival (winter severity) and recruitment (hunter

Evaluation of factors affecting greater prairie‐chicken nest and brood survival

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Greater prairie‐chickens Tympanuchus cupido pinnatus in the Flint Hills ecoregion select recently burned grasslands for brooding and nest in areas that have been unburned for 1–3 years, suggesting the need for a mosaic of burn patches. However, it is unknown how patch area, configuration, and proximity to edges within such mosaics affect reproductive ...

Assessing genetic diversity in a reintroduced Mediterranean griffon vulture Gyps fulvus population to inform long‐term conservation management

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reintroductions play a key role in conservation biology. Their long‐term success strongly depends on maximizing the genetic diversity of founders, as well as on ensuring ecological connectivity with adjacent populations. Accordingly, evaluating the conservation status of reintroduced populations to limit the loss of their genetic diversity requires ...

Unraveling antler progression in desert mule deer: implications for common management practices

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Antler characteristics are commonly used in the management of cervid species to achieve a variety of management goals. Such characteristics are commonly the basis for culling criteria to increase mean antler size. However, the efficacy of culling programs is questionable, and there are few robust evaluations of criteria reliability.
