Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We used drone‐based radiotelemetry and multispectral imagery to estimate detection and survival probabilities of blue‐winged teal broods in Saskatchewan, Canada. Weekly brood survival probabilities, estimated via Cormack‐Jolly‐Seber models, increased with age and were comparable between drone methods.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Abstract Prioritization is a central component of natural resource management because conservation needs routinely exceed available resources. Waterfowl and wetland conservation programs in North America are at the forefront of landscape‐scale prioritization and transboundary management decisions due to the migratory nature of ducks, geese, and swans ...

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,

Turbidity, Waterfowl Herbivory, and Propagule Banks Shape Submerged Aquatic Vegetation in Ponds
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The aquatic vegetation in nutrient-rich shallow lakes and ponds is structured by the interplay of multiple biotic and abiotic drivers. We tested the contribution of the macrophyte propagule bank and the delayed as well as direct impact of waterbirds on ...

Tolerance to air exposure of the New Zealand mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Hydrobiidae, Mollusca) as a prerequisite to survival in overland translocations [PDF]
, 2013 Spreading throughout a new ecosystem is the last step of an exotic species to become invasive. In the case of invasive aquatic molluscs, tolerance to air exposure is one of the main mechanisms allowing overland translocation and spreading.

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.
