We conducted local drone surveys using thermal imaging to estimate the density of moose across a 12,000-km2 landscape. Resultant density estimates appeared reasonably accurate, had variable precision...

Obtaining accurate information on demographic states, such as the age and sex classes of animals, is an important step for monitoring wildlife populations. Traditionally, demographic data are collect....

Normal or baseline scenario with parameterization from the literature. The green line indicates the CPS based on the decision tree. The blue hatched area indicates the transition period of the model ...

UNH researchers have documented the longest-ever trek of a fisher, who roamed more than 73 miles from her home in Durham to the outskirts of Lincoln in the White Mountains.

The SiMPL wildlife magnet offers an affordable, non-invasive solution for passive wildlife monitoring of a diverse array of large and small mammals. Our case study in the White Mountains of New Hamps...

The DeepFaune New England model classifies wildlife species in trail camera images, identifying 24 taxa from northeastern North America with high (97%) accuracy. The model was adapted from the DeepFa....

Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine-scale r....

Using a field-based mark–recapture approach, the authors demonstrate that habitat quality can simultaneously influence insect abundance and detection. Simulation also showed that prioritizing increas...

We provide a systematic review of methodologies used to study personality in small mammals. We propose adopting ‘Standardised Experimental Design’ and ‘Behavioural Measurements’ to effectively compar...

Climate change is reducing snowpack across temperate regions with negative consequences for human and natural systems. Because forest canopies create microclimates that preserve snowpack, managing fo...

Nexus Notes #8

Context Winter is generally considered the limiting season for wildlife populations living in high-latitude/altitude regions. Logically, managers have used temperature and snow variables or indices to...

Using Species Distribution Models based on observations submitted to the Vermont Atlas of Life by community scientists, in combination with environmental data collected by satellites, can help land st...

ALT: a kid in a knight costume is asking who will join us

Fate of the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit’s science faculty — Matt Kauffman, Anna Chalfoun and Annika Walters — unclear as president orders deep cuts.

Can we ever have too much ecological field data? Are data sharing norms and the environmental costs of travel disincentivizing its collection? This Perspective advocates for proper funding and resourc...

In a major step to expand recreational access to America’s public lands, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum today announced 42 new proposed hunting opportunities across more than 87,000 acres ...
