From patterns to predictions: a framework for the spatial epidemiology of wildlife diseases

Ecography, EarlyView.
Wildlife diseases pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation, public health, and livestock. Spatial epidemiology provides a robust framework to understand disease dynamics and guide policy and management. However, the rapid proliferation of spatial methods has largely occurred in isolation across disciplines, leaving the field without a ...

Characterization of two MHC II genes (DOB, DRB) in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

BMC Genetics, 2020
Background The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is responsible for detecting and addressing foreign pathogens inside the body. While the general structure of MHC genes is relatively well conserved among mammalian species, it is notably different ...

Beginning with a single step: A social theory of change for managing chronic wasting disease

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Following opinions of chronic wasting disease management experts, we identified and prioritized critical interventions to address the disease. We developed a theory of change for the most prioritized intervention that supports the implementation of engagement or social marketing strategies to increase support for management.

Changes in deer hunter satisfaction under special antlerless harvest regulations in Pennsylvania, USA

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Deer Management Assistance Program hunter satisfaction in Pennsylvania increased over time and was associated with antlerless deer harvest success, repeated permit purchases, and seeing an antlerless deer. Understanding these relationships can help wildlife agencies support both deer management objectives and long‐term hunter engagement.

Where opportunity meets desire: Predicting antlerless deer harvest selectivity during Wisconsin's nine‐day firearm season

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We predicted Wisconsin deer hunters’ likelihood to take an available antlerless deer harvest opportunity on a given day of the 9‐day firearm season using a combination of personal characteristics of the hunter and situational factors of the hunting day.

The Swedish Arctic Fox Project: 40 years of research in ecology and conservation

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The 4 central research themes in The Swedish Arctic Fox Project and key deliverables for practical conservation achieved over 4 decades. Abstract The scientific community widely recognizes the value of long‐term studies, especially those with individual‐level resolution; however, maintaining a consecutive data series is associated with multiple ...

Capacity and limitations of US wild meat donation programmes

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Historically, sharing of wild harvests to facilitate food security followed concepts of kin selection and reciprocal altruism. However, cultural shifts have reduced access to foods for some populations in modern times. Cultural altruism through sustainably harvested wild meat donation programmes (WDPs) can reduce food and nutritional ...

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.

Efficacy of deterrents in minimizing nontarget species consumption of bait used for attracting wild pigs (Sus scrofa)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Evaluated repellents were effective at deterring white‐tailed deer from consuming wild pig bait piles without deterring wild pig bait consumption, although the deterrents were not effective for other nontarget wildlife. Abstract BACKGROUND Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are an invasive species that cause environmental and agricultural damage.
