Wheat Wild Relatives and Modern Cultivars Differ for Salt Resistance in Terms of Morpho‐Physiological Traits

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Wheat wild relatives are untapped genetic resources from salinity and drought hit areas. This study presents differential comparative morphophysiological responses of these species and modern wheat cultivars under saline conditions. Salt resistant species produce more shoot and root biomass under saline conditions through salt exclusion and/or tissue ...

A comparison of monitoring methods for inferring demographics of a pond‐breeding amphibian population over 14 years

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used 4 sampling methods to estimate or index the abundance and sex ratio of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) over 14 years. The present study highlights the importance of considering individual heterogeneity in capture probability when estimating abundance of pond‐breeding amphibians from capture data with imperfect detection.

Behavioral responses of black bears to human presence and infrastructure in Yosemite National Park

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using GPS collar data from black bears in Yosemite National Park, we examined how bear spatiotemporal activity in relation to human development shifted during the COVID‐19 park closure in 2020. In the absence of visitors, bears maintained consistent landscape‐scale space use but altered fine‐scale spatial and temporal behaviors.

The art of avoidance: bedsite use, antipredator strategies, and predation risk in white‐tailed deer fawns

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Horizontal visibility, rather than concealment cover, drove fawn bedsite use and predation risk. Greater field of view decreased the odds of coyote predation, likely by facilitated by early detection. As fawns transitioned from hiders to followers, they shifted from using dense overstory concealment to more open overstory that favored improved escape ...

Cougar density on the Oregon Coast: Using dead recovery modeling in an open population

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The primary objective of this study was to determine cougar density in western Oregon. Our results demonstrate that integrating DNA collected via bio‐darting, mandatory hunter‐harvest check‐ins, and GPS collar data into the OPCR2 is a reliable method for estimating cougar densities in densely forested coastal systems.
