Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Reported annual per‐capita harvest of muskrats (PCHM) decreased as wetland complexity (total number of wetland patches) decreased in 13 state and federal wetland areas in the Midwest, USA. Our results support the hypothesis that regional‐scale declines in the abundance of muskrats are likely associated with the losses to wetland habitats throughout the

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2022 Colonial nesting of both single and mixed-species assemblages is common across avian taxa. Coloniality may provide fitness advantages such as reduced nest predation through predator swamping, early warning of predators, or nest stability, or could simply

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2016 We studied the diversity, abundance and population trends in three flourishing wetlands of southern Bengal over 16 years. These wetlands constituted a major shift from the present scenario of overall wetland deterioration, including monotonous declines ...

Avian-botulism risk in waterbird breeding colonies and implications for environmental water management [PDF]
, 2020 Avian botulism poses a significant risk to waterbird health in Australian wetlands. This paralytic, often fatal, disease occurs when birds ingest a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.

Comparative Analysis of Intestine Microbiota of Four Wild Waterbird Species
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Waterbirds are ubiquitous and globally distributed. Yet, studies on wild waterbirds’ gut microbiota are still rare. Our aim was to explore and compare the gut microbial community composition of wild waterbird species. Four wild waterbird species that are

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Small mammal survey tools are needed at airports to help inform aircraft strike‐risk management. We evaluated thermal optics and tracking tunnels as small mammal survey tools. We conclude that thermal optics would not be a viable survey tool for mouse‐sized mammals (19‐41 g) at airfields and other thick grass habitats unless grass height was maintained

Decision‐centered systems for the future of wildlife conservation
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.This paper defines decision‐centered systems that align institutions, organizations, and science around explicit wildlife conservation decisions, so knowledge needs are decision‐driven, evidence informs analysis, and success is judged by conservation outcomes.
