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.

When variability is not failure: Rethinking wildlife management in nonstationary systems
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Departures from historical baselines do not always signal population decline. Under directional environmental change, variability in reproduction, migration, and distribution may instead reflect adaptive responses. Effective conservation requires managers to reinterpret variability, incorporate cognitively and institutionally diverse perspectives, and ...

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,
