Drone‐based radiotelemetry and imagery systems provide an advantage over traditional techniques for estimating survival of dependent juveniles
Abstract Traditional methods for estimating juvenile survival in wildlife populations often rely on marking and tracking individual young. However, traditional methods can introduce bias into survival estimates via the capture or handling process and are logistically challenging to implement…

Effects of forest treatments on nutritional carrying capacity for white‐tailed deer in mid‐rotation loblolly pine stands
Abstract Landowners and managers are interested in improving habitat quality for white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus; hereinafter, deer) in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) forests in the southeastern United States. Commercial thinning, prescribed fire, and herbicides can increase forage quality…

The singing phenology of Bachman's sparrow: implications for monitoring programs
Abstract Singing in passerine birds is a fundamental reproductive behavior and is an important cue for detections in avian surveys, but variation in abiotic conditions (e.g., temperature, photoperiod) can influence singing phenology and daily singing behavior, impacting survey efficacy. The…

Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) prefer inoculated peanuts over whole‐kernel corn in cafeteria‐style study
Abstract The rapid expansion of wild pigs (Sus scrofa) is a critical conservation concern. Managers often use baited traps to remove wild pigs, and the attractiveness of bait may improve the probability of capture. Anecdotal observations suggest inoculated peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) may be a…

Expert risk elicitation on vampire bats and rabies: Implications for United States surveillance, management, and research
Abstract The common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) is expanding in geographic range, increasing concern about the spread of this species to the United States (U.S.) and the associated risks of rabies virus (RABV) transmission. In 2020, we used a structured approach to convene a panel of experts to…

Competitive carnivore guilds as natural buffers for sustainable tiger conservation
Abstract The sustainability of apex carnivores such as tigers (Panthera tigris) is conventionally interpreted through prey abundance and habitat extent, yet these drivers are embedded within multi‐predator ecological networks. In this paper, I argue that competitive carnivore guilds, particularly…

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory
Abstract Species inventories provide baseline knowledge to inform land management decisions, especially for cryptic species like reptiles and amphibians. Traditionally, funnel and box traps positioned along drift‐fence arrays have been used to survey herpetofauna. To evaluate differences in…

Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States
Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system. To address this shortcoming, we developed a method based on annual metrics of water accessibility and forage availability to map the dynamic rangelands where free‐roaming…

Why promoting democratic conservation governance requires less stakeholder engagement
Abstract Better governance is fundamental to successful conservation, but waves of political populism and erosion of the public sphere are rendering conservation governance progressively more difficult. We suggest citizen engagement presents an intuitive response to governance crises, but that…

Considerations for using autonomous recording units to monitor northern bobwhite occupancy at large spatial scales
Abstract Northern bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) have experienced widespread declines across their range, increasing the need for population monitoring across broad spatial and temporal scales. Yet large‐scale monitoring of post‐breeding bobwhites remains limited by the time‐intensive nature of…

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range
Abstract One approach to improving predictions about a species’ response to projected environmental changes is to compare populations in current environments that represent expected future conditions. However, we often know more about a species at the core of its range, where numbers usually are…

Modernizing environmental data management for ecological research, management, and conservation at regional scales
Abstract The recent surge in diverse, high‐resolution geospatial data—driven by advances in technologies such as GPS and remote sensing—has revolutionized the field of ecology, creating new opportunities for novel applications in wildlife management. However, the enormous volume and variety of…

Field evaluation of artificial intelligence early warning for bird depredation at carp ponds
Abstract Piscivorous birds such as the great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) can cause substantial losses in pond aquaculture, yet continuous on‐site vigilance is difficult under labor shortages. We evaluated whether an artificial intelligence‐based early‐warning system could be feasibly integrated…

Developing a low‐cost drone‐based method for deploying and retrieving autonomous recording units in inaccessible areas
Abstract Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) are increasingly used in research to support passive acoustic monitoring, but deployment in remote or inaccessible locations remains logistically challenging. Traditional manual placement is labor‐intensive, time‐consuming, potentially hazardous, and often…

Accuracy of wildlife observations identified by citizen scientists in Florida
Abstract Contemporary efforts to understand biological diversity often incorporate information collected by people who are not professional scientists. Although collecting data exposes citizen scientists to scientific endeavors and facilitates the production of important databases, concerns remain…

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas
Abstract Live capturing of wildlife is important for research and conservation, but is rife with challenges including animal welfare concerns, resource commitments (e.g., time and effort), and low capture success rates. Such challenges may be especially apparent for species listed under the…

In pursuit of just elephant management: Making a case for legal reform
Abstract Elephant management in South Africa remains entangled in legal, ethical, and ecological complexity. Despite the adoption of the 2008 Norms and Standards for Elephant Management and the 2016 Norms and Standards for the Management of Damage‐Causing Animals in South Africa, governance and…

Sherman traps, bucket cameras, eDNA—oh, my: A comparative study of small mammal monitoring methods
Abstract Small mammals play vital roles across trophic levels and are highly sensitive to habitat disturbances, making them ideal indicators of grassland ecosystem health. A variety of passive and active survey methods exist to monitor mammalian communities, but their effectiveness can vary due to…

In my opinion: Increasing black engagement with wildlife: Historical context, educational gaps, and opportunities for inclusive conservation
Abstract Limited engagement between Black Americans and wildlife is often treated as cultural disinterest rather than the outcome of historical exclusion, racialized trauma, or persistent structural barriers. This perspective obscures the long‐standing relationships Black communities have had with…

Lost traditions and new pathways: Hunting participation and perceptions among Black HBCU students in the U.S.
Abstract The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Relevancy Roadmap urges wildlife agencies to engage nontraditional audiences in activities such as hunting, yet little research has examined young Black Americans’ perceptions of and participation in hunting. We partnered with 5 historically Black…
