Individual Identification of Prey in Carnivore Scats
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.ABSTRACT Noninvasive genetic sampling is widely used in ecology and conservation to identify predators and their diets but recovering individual‐level information from consumed prey remains largely unexplored. We evaluated whether individual prey can be reliably genotyped from carnivore scats and assessed limitations associated with degraded and mixed ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Drones are useful for wildlife research and management, but they can cause disturbance and harassment to wildlife. Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) are candidates for drone‐based observation and monitoring but are vulnerable to disturbance. No studies have evaluated drone effects on sea otter behavior, but based on prior disturbance studies, we ...

Characterizing Nontarget Species Use at Bait Sites for White-Tailed Deer
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 Baiting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) has evolved into a controversial issue of wildlife management. During August–September 2012, we established a grid of 64 cameras in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at sites baited with corn that ...
