Successful 22‐Hour Rescue and Release of a 19.5 M Beached Sperm Whale
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.19.5‐m‐long sperm whale was stranded on a mudflat, China on 19 April 2022. A dramatic 22‐hour rescue mission ultimately saved the whale, enabling it to swim back to sea. ABSTRACT Whales, dolphins, and porpoises are important flagship species and play a vital role in maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems. However, stranded cetaceans are often doomed if

Smoke signals: Measuring wildlife smoke exposure with animal‐borne and stationary sensors
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Wildfires are becoming larger, more frequent and more severe, producing smoke plumes that degrade air quality hundreds of kilometres away and for days to weeks after an active fire. Despite public health and safety concerns regarding wildfire smoke, we know little about how free‐ranging wildlife experience or respond to these exposures.

Anticoagulant Rodenticides Contribute to a Decline in an Urban Carnivore
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) have been shown to negatively affect carnivores globally and are closely tied to human activity and development. We examined drivers of annual survival in bobcats persisting on a residentially developed barrier island over 16 years.

Seasonal Habitat Selection by a Threatened Ungulate in an Industrializing Boreal Landscape
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Understanding habitat selection by Threatened wood bison in landscapes characterized by anthropogenic disturbance is important for conservation planning. During summer and winter, bison selected for linear (e.g., roads, seismic lines, pipelines) and polygonal (e.g., well sites) disturbances, unless there were high densities of linear features.
