A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species.

Does a decision support tool designed to depict West Nile virus risk explain variation in ruffed grouse Bonasa umbellus use of managed forests?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Infectious diseases are commonly cited as significant contributors to wildlife population declines. It is, therefore, important to investigate the extent to which tools designed to mitigate the effects of infectious diseases explain wildlife responses to habitat management.

Dusky grouse seasonal resource selection in the Great Basin isolated mountain ranges of Nevada, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus are a montane forest grouse species with a paucity of information regarding their temporal and spatial resource use during critical times of high mortality and reproductive output. This lack of vital data may leave dusky grouse at risk of sub‐optimal management in many areas of their distribution, especially in the ...

Risk factors for bark stripping damage on Norway spruce by red deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Norway spruce Picea abies is an economically important tree species in Europe, actively managed for forestry. Among the most negative biotic factors for growth and hence forest production is damage caused by wildlife, such as damage through bark stripping by red deer Cervus elaphus.

Facilitating macrosystem biology with organismal‐scale airborne remote sensing: Challenges and opportunities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Emergent ecosystem properties, such as population and trait distributions, biodiversity and energy and water fluxes, occur because of the dynamic interactions of individuals in their environment.

Mycorrhiza‐induced alterations in the spatial structure of stands in a subtropical forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Spatial aggregation patterns represent snapshots of ecological processes that occurred over an extensive period. Such processes can shape both the conspecific and the heterospecific spatial structure of plants across woody habitats.

Roles of Environment, Nutrition, and Genetics in Woody Breast Condition in Chickens

Journal of World's Poultry Research
Woody breast (WB) condition is a muscle disease in broiler chickens that makes breast meat hard and rubbery, and it has a negative impact on the texture and appearance of fast-growing broiler chicken breast muscle. This condition is safe for consumers, but the meat generally goes under extra meat processing, such as making pet foods, because of lower ...

Changing food availability and its effect on the heritability of offspring size in woodland passerine birds

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Vatka et al. investigated how changing food abundance affects evolutionary potential of offsprings' body size traits in two woodland passerines. Food availability increased over the 25‐year‐long study period, accompanied by increases in body mass.
