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. I...... 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 con...... 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. ...... hiện toàn bộ
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 (... 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 isola...... hiện toàn bộ
