White light reduces flight height of birds in low‐density migration corridor
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We conducted an experiment to better understand the effects of artificial light at night treatments of varying spectral power distributions on in‐flight migratory bird behavior as measured by a portable radar. Broad‐spectrum white light emissions reduced avian flight height as compared to dark periods and more than other light treatments.

Inadvertent identity activation may influence measurement of wildlife‐related attitudes
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Interest group members in a 2023 Montana mail survey reported lower mean tolerance for wolves when the recruitment letter addressed them by their group identity (2.94, SE = 0.11) than when it did not (3.37, SE = 0.22). Survey content was identical and only the salutation differed. Tolerance was measured on a 5‐point scale (1 = very intolerant, 5 = very

Northern bobwhites associated with native grass and shrubs have improved survival
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Survival rates of adult northern bobwhites were improved by a combination of grazed native warm‐season grasses and well‐interspersed shrubs. Our study suggests that incorporating native warm‐season grass cattle forages into existing operations across the southeastern United States may be a viable working‐lands conservation strategy to create habitat ...

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Combining large‐scale avian surveys with remote sensing products revealed landscape variables that likely limit scaled quail occurrence at the ecoregion scale in Texas. Promoting management practices that address ecoregion‐specific limiting factors may be key to averting further declines.
