Can hierarchical modelling of co‐occurrence data provide accurate inference into species interactions?

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, several compelling critiques have emerged of approaches that leverage co‐occurrence data to understand the dynamic complexities posed by species interactions. Here, motivated by the key arguments formalized over a century of debate, we use simulations grounded in ecological theory to provide guidance on when co‐occurrence data

Food Subsidies Reduce Livestock Depredations by a Recovering Carnivore

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Diversionary feeding—providing food caches to divert predators away from preying on livestock—is a strategy to reduce depredations by Mexican gray wolves but has not been evaluated for its effectiveness. We used data from the Mexican wolf recovery program from 2014‐2021 to evaluate whether diversionary feeding reduced livestock depredations by wolf ...

Preference of White-Tailed Deer for Corn Hybrids and Agricultural Husbandry Practices During the Growing Season

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
Damage to field corn (Zea mays) by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) can be substantial, resulting in millions of dollars lost annually. Numerous methods exist to minimize deer depredation, but all have met with varying degrees of success ...

Reintroduction of an Endangered Butterfly, the Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis)

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We reintroduced Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis), an endangered skipper butterfly, at different life‐stages to restored oak savanna habitat in Ontario, Canada and then performed intensive post‐release monitoring. Our results show that, at one of three sites, a population was established within two years of initiating releases and that pupae and ...

Factors influencing spatial heterogeneity of female white‐tailed deer harvest dynamics

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2016
Successful management of exploited wildlife populations is contingent upon understanding what variables most affect mortality rates (e.g., legal harvest mortality) and adopting regulations that directly address those factors in a manner that accomplishes
