White light reduces flight height of birds in low‐density migration corridor
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We conducted an experiment to better understand the effects of artificial light at night treatments of varying spectral power distributions on in‐flight migratory bird behavior as measured by a portable radar. Broad‐spectrum white light emissions reduced avian flight height as compared to dark periods and more than other light treatments.

Recent wolf hunting and trapping in the Great Lakes region of the United States
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We analyzed wolf hunting and trapping seasons in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan (2012–2014, 2021) to assess harvest patterns, method effectiveness, and links to livestock depredations. Harvest outcomes were driven by regulations and methods, did not appear to cause long‐term population declines, and showed no consistent relationships with reduced ...
