Balancing future renewable energy infrastructure siting and associated habitat loss for migrating whooping cranes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The expansion of human infrastructure has contributed to novel risks and disturbance regimes in most ecosystems, leading to considerable uncertainty about how species will respond to altered landscapes.

Egg production and endocrine profiles of female whooping cranes (Grus americana) maintained ex situ are improved in naturalized enclosures

Theriogenology Wild, 2023
Whooping cranes (Grus americana) are naturally seasonal breeders and rely on wetland habitats throughout the annual cycle. However, captive cranes are commonly housed in dry outdoor pens, which may lack key environmental stimuli that in turn compromise ...

Assessing ecological and environmental influences on boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) spring calling phenology using multimodal passive monitoring technologies

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Although anuran reproductive behavior follows a phenological pattern, environmental factors may influence the timing of anuran activity. To characterize the spring calling phenology of Pseudacris maculata (boreal chorus frog) we installed acoustic ...

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

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.

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

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.
