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

The 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.

Spatial and temporal variation in survival of female wild turkeys

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We monitored 370 female wild turkeys across North Carolina's 3 ecoregions from 2020‐2022 to understand factors influencing their survival. Female survival varied by ecoregion and behavior state, with the incubation period having the lowest survival rates. None of the land cover variables affected survival.

Comparing autumn duck use of intensely managed wetlands in Michigan using a novel approach

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Camera traps, a relatively novel method for assessing waterfowl use of wetlands, show ducks in southeastern Michigan are influenced by hunting disturbance, vegetation type, season progression, and diel period. Abstract Socioeconomic value derived from duck hunting has contributed to autumn habitat use becoming a particular focus for the natural ...

Incidence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites of free-ranging domestic dogs from the web valley, Bale mountains National park, Ethiopia

BMC Veterinary Research
Domestic dogs (DDs), Canis lupus familiaris, are known carriers of pathogens that can spread globally to wildlife and humans. The transmission of infectious diseases from dogs poses a significant threat to Ethiopian wolves (EWs), Canis simensis, because ...

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Proximity to bait and social interactions influence individual wild pig (Sus scrofa) visitation at bait sites

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Individual wild pig bait site visitation and time to initial detection is primarily influenced by space use (i.e., proximity to bait) and whether wild pigs from other social groups visited before. Specifically, females are less likely to visit a bait site if an adult male visits a site before them.

Gender and Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN): Evaluating Nigeria's Legislative Framework for Achieving Gender‐Equitable LDN Outcomes

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Legislative frameworks that support gender equality are crucial for addressing structural inequalities, protecting women's rights, and achieving gender‐equitable land degradation neutrality (LDN) outcomes. This study examines the extent to which national‐level policies and legislation governing LDN and related sectors incorporate gender ...

Demonstration, validation, and application of hyperspectral microscopy for the collection of cyanobacterial spectral signatures

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyanobacterial and other algal blooms are an environmental concern in waterbodies worldwide. While these blooms are a nuisance for recreational activities, they can also be harmful to human and wildlife health when the algae produce and release toxins.

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

Limnology 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 ...
