Host species and age‐specific variation on Hepatozoon prevalence and its effect on body condition in two Neotropical crocodiles

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

Predictive habitat occupancy models for North American river otters along inland streams in New Jersey

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The North American river otter Lontra canadensis is a semi‐aquatic furbearer species that historically ranged throughout North America. Starting in the mid‐1800s and continuing through the early 1900s, the negative effects associated with anthropogenic disturbances (i.e.

Climatic variation affects seasonal survival of an alpine bird species

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Mountains are particularly exposed to climate change, and empirical studies have shown that montane bird species are highly sensitive to the ongoing changes. Modelling mortality risks under climatic variation will give insight into species‐specific sensitivity. Willow ptarmigan Lagopus l.

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Mental models reveal diverse perspectives on marine resources management across racial/ethnic and gender social identities

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 4, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract As marine resource management fields continue to move toward more inclusive and collaborative processes, it is important to also examine the value of promoting the diverse perspectives of scientists and managers from different backgrounds throughout the decision‐making process.
