Large‐scale forest composition influences northern goshawk nesting in WisconsinJournal of Wildlife Management - Tập 77 Số 3 - Trang 495-504 - 2013
Deahn M. Donner, Dean P. Anderson, Daniel Eklund, Matthew St. Pierre
AbstractThe northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis atricapillus) is a woodland
raptor that uses a variety of forest types for nesting across its breeding
range, but strongly depends on older forests with large trees and open
understories. Goshawks may select nesting locations by maximizing the
convergence of nesting and foraging habitats. Insights into goshawk responses to
heterogeneous landscapes c... hiện toàn bộ
Patterns of Bat Fatalities at Wind Energy Facilities in North AmericaJournal of Wildlife Management - Tập 72 Số 1 - Trang 61-78 - 2008

Abstract Wind has become one of the fastest growing sources of renewable energy
worldwide, but widespread and often extensive fatalities of bats have increased
concern regarding the impacts of wind energy development on bats and other
wildlife. We synthesized available information on patterns of bat fatalities
from a review of 21 postconstruction fatality studies conducted at 19 facilities
in 5 Un... hiện toàn bộ
Identifying Movement States From Location Data Using Cluster AnalysisJournal of Wildlife Management - Tập 74 Số 3 - Trang 588-594 - 2010

ABSTRACT Animal movement studies regularly use movement states (e.g., slow and
fast) derived from remotely sensed locations to make inferences about strategies
of resource use. However, the number of movement state categories used is often
arbitrary and rarely inferred from the data. Identifying groups with similar
movement characteristics is a statistical problem. We present a framework based

Anticoagulant Exposure and Notoedric Mange in Bobcats and Mountain Lions in Urban Southern CaliforniaJournal of Wildlife Management - Tập 71 Số 6 - Trang 1874-1884 - 2007

Abstract: Humans introduce many toxicants into the environment, the long‐term
and indirect effects of which are generally unknown. We investigated exposure to
anticoagulant rodenticides and evaluated the association between notoedric
mange, an ectoparasitic disease, and anticoagulant exposure in bobcats (Lynx
rufus) and mountain lions (Puma concolor) in a fragmented urban landscape in
southern Cal... hiện toàn bộ
Argali Abundance in the Afghan Pamir Using Capture–Recapture Modeling From Fecal DNAJournal of Wildlife Management - Tập 74 Số 4 - Trang 668-677 - 2010

Abstract: Estimating population size in a mark‐recapture framework using DNA
obtained from remotely collected genetic samples (e.g., feces) has become common
in recent years but rarely has been used for ungulates. Using DNA extracted from
fecal pellets, we estimated the size of an argali (Ovis ammon) population that
was believed to be isolated from others within the Big Pamir Mountains,
