Nutritional and reproductive dynamics of moose near their southern range limit

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Though southern moose (Alces alces) had relatively low seasonal fluctuations in body fat, their condition was positively associated with pregnancy and adult survival but did not influence recruitment of young. We demonstrated clear signs of nutritional limitation and unexpected patterns of reproductive performance that may be unique to moose living at ...

Pooling information across sites and years to estimate bat fatalities at wind farms

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We compared complete pooling (CP), no pooling (NP), and partial pooling (PP) approaches for estimating detection probabilities and hence bat fatalities at wind farms. Partial pooling integrates information across sites and years, improving precision with sparse data while preserving site‐level variation.

Harvest increase and culling as tools for managing chronic wasting disease in white‐tailed deer

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We used an agent‐based model to simulate the effect of CWD management on a white‐tailed deer population in northwest Indiana and northeast Illinois. Our results suggest that wildlife managers should reconsider how and if they should manage CWD. Abstract Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy that affects white‐tailed ...
