Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...

Integrating fecal DNA and telemetry to estimate wildlife densities in anthropogenic landscapes
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Density estimation is central to wildlife management efforts but can be challenging in anthropogenic landscapes due to small parcel sizes, access restrictions, and limited green space. We evaluated (a) the use of a plot‐based spatial capture‐recapture sampling design to estimate deer density in developed landscapes and (b) if integrating telemetry data

Deer-Activated Bioacoustic Frightening Device Deters White-Tailed Deer
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) damage urban and suburban plantings, as well as crops and stored feed. We tested the efficacy of a frightening device that played pre-recorded distress calls of adult female white-tailed deer when activated by ...
