Global distribution of avian plumage coloration and patterning: the relative influence of climate, ecology, and sexual selection

Ecography, EarlyView.
Animal coloration exhibits substantial biogeographic variation, reflecting complex adaptations to both abiotic and biotic environments. Although the evolutionary mechanisms underlying avian plumage coloration have been widely studied, geographic variation in plumage patterning has received far less attention.

Wolves and humans both shape patterns of deer browsing in a temperate forest ecosystem of Central Europe

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions can trigger behavioural responses in ungulates, influencing their space‐use and foraging behaviour and, in turn, indirectly affecting browsing pressure. Changes in browsing pressure can affect plant recruitment and species composition, shaping forest regeneration through predator‐mediated trophic cascades.

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) survival in southwestern Oregon

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We captured and monitored radio‐collared ringtails over 2 years to estimate monthly and annual survival rates. We found that annual survival rates were much higher within forested landscapes in Oregon than for populations in the southwestern United States.

Changes in deer hunter satisfaction under special antlerless harvest regulations in Pennsylvania, USA

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Deer Management Assistance Program hunter satisfaction in Pennsylvania increased over time and was associated with antlerless deer harvest success, repeated permit purchases, and seeing an antlerless deer. Understanding these relationships can help wildlife agencies support both deer management objectives and long‐term hunter engagement.
