Little penguins select more isolated nest boxes for breeding, but lay date influences breeding success

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We determined that more isolated and possibly older nest boxes were selected by little penguins for breeding at Pōhatu/Flea Bay, New Zealand. However, breeding success was influenced by lay date in comparison to nest box characteristics. These findings inform immediate conservation recommendations regarding nest box design and placement.

Military lands provide an opportunity to recover red wolves

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Red wolf (Canis rufus) recovery remains challenging, with only one population persisting and no reintroductions since 1998. Despite extensive, biodiverse properties in the Southeast with conservation mandates, military lands have been overlooked. In our paper, we evaluate them as a potential path forward for red wolf reintroduction sites.

Effect of carcass storage condition on searcher efficiency trials for conservation detection dogs

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We investigated the influence of storage condition on bat carcass odor through chemical analysis. Additionally, we tested the detectability of 3 carcass storage conditions through searcher efficiency trials with conservation detection dogs. Only 20% of the chemicals observed were shared across all 4 carcass storage conditions.

Disrupting the herd: Recreational boating alters group dispersion within beluga whale herds

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Recreational boating in beluga habitat remains poorly documented. Using land‐based observations in the Saguenay Fjord (Quebec, Canada), we show that increasing recreational boat numbers are associated with a higher probability of changes in beluga herd dispersion, suggesting behavioral disturbance and the need to integrate recreational boating into ...

Individual movement modeling expands the power of migratory species observations: North Atlantic right whale case study

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding a population's distribution depends on observing the presence and movement of individuals throughout their range. For highly mobile marine species, these observations typically rely on high effort monitoring programs. Tracking enough individuals to understand trends in movement behavior is not always logistically feasible, and ...

Effects of preservatives and poisons on the elemental and isotopic composition of freshwater particulate organic matter

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Sediment traps, often used in tandem with preservatives or poisons, are widely used for the collection of particulate organic matter (POM), providing insight into the source to sink mechanisms that shape major biogeochemical cycles and sedimentary carbon sequestration.

Polymer and Polymer Composite‐Based Electrochemical Sensors for Real‐Time Detection of River Water Targeted Endocrine Disruptors

open access: yesMacromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are pervasive environmental contaminants that interfere with hormone function and pose significant risks to ecosystems and human health. Their presence in river water necessitates sensitive, selective, and real‐time detection methods for effective monitoring and mitigation.

Sustainable Metal Recovery From E‐Waste: Exploring Greener Leachates in Hydrometallurgical Processes

open access: yesMetalMat, EarlyView.
Recycling of electronic waste to synthesize valuable metals using green leachate. ABSTRACT The accumulation of electronic waste (e‐waste) poses environmental hazards and leads to the loss of valuable metals such as gold, silver, copper, and rare earth elements.
