Spatial and temporal predictions of whooping crane (Grus americana) habitat along the US Gulf Coast

Conservation Science and Practice, 2022
The challenge of conserving viable habitat while simultaneously predicting how land cover may geographically shift with future climate change has put pressure on ecologists and policy‐makers to develop near‐term (several years to a decade) ecological and

Capturing change: the duality of time-lapse imagery to acquire data and depict ecological dynamics

Ecology and Society, 2017
We investigate the scientific and communicative value of time-lapse imagery by exploring applications for data collection and visualization. Time-lapse imagery has a myriad of possible applications to study and depict ecosystems and can operate at unique

Differential shortstopping behaviour in Whooping Cranes: Habitat or social learning?

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Many migratory bird species have begun shifting their wintering grounds closer to their breeding grounds, shortening their yearly migration distance through a behavior called shortstopping.

Archive eggs: A research and management tool for avian conservation breeding

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Worldwide, approximately 168 bird species are captive‐bred for reintroduction into the wild. Programs tend to be initiated for species with a high level of endangerment. Depressed hatching success can be a problem for such programs and has been linked to

Differential changes in the onset of spring across US National Wildlife Refuges and North American migratory bird flyways. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Warming temperatures associated with climate change can have indirect effects on migratory birds that rely on seasonally available food resources and habitats that vary across spatial and temporal scales.

Monitoring Grassland Bird Communities with Acoustic Indices

Birds
Several researchers have tried to find relationships between acoustic indices and vocal animal communities to use acoustic indices as a passive monitoring method, as human-derived surveys are expensive, time-consuming, and suffer from observer bias ...

The role of social capital in endangered species management: A valuable resource

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015
The whooping crane (Grus americana) is an endangered North American species facing multiple environmental and anthropogenic threats. Even if the species thrives, it must continue to be managed after recovery because the threats will not abate.

Boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) spring calling activity, habitat metrics, and associated environmental data

Data in Brief, 2020
Data were collected using multimodal monitoring technologies pairing sound recorders with time-lapse camera systems. In the spring of 2015, 2016, and 2017, sound recordings and imagery were collected at a wet meadow and forested slough in the Central ...

Targeted behavioural and microclimate data collection substantially improves biophysical model predictions of energy expenditure in wild birds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Energy is fundamental for life and accurately predicting animals' energy expenditure under changing environments is central to ecology and global change biology. Energy expenditure in free‐living animals can be directly quantified using the doubly labelled water (DLW ...
