The acute decline in global biodiversity includes not only the loss of rare species, but also rapid collapse common species across many different taxa. pollinating insects is particular concern because ecological and economic values these provide. western bumble bee ( Bombus occidentalis ) was once North America, this has become increasingly through much its range. To understand potential mechanisms driving declines, we used Bayesian occupancy models to investigate effects climate land cover...
Abstract Changing fire regimes have the potential to threaten wildlife populations and communities. Understanding species’ responses novel is critical formulating effective management conservation strategies in an era of rapid change. Here, we examined empirical effects recent historical wildfire activity on Mexican spotted owl ( Strix occidentalis lucida ) southwestern United States. Using region-wide, standardized detection/non-detection data breeding pairs collected from 2015 2022, found...
Clement, M. A., K. Barrett, and R. F. Baldwin. 2019. Key habitat features facilitate the presence of Barred Owls in developed landscapes. Avian Conservation Ecology 14(2):12. https://doi.org/10.5751/ACE-01427-140212
Owls can be difficult to detect due their secretive behavior, typically low calling rate, and density on the landscape. Low detection probability during surveys result in an underestimation of presence abundance a species. Thus, optimizing targeting owls is necessary accurately address ecological questions. We used datasets collected South Carolina, USA, Alberta, Canada, investigate how survey optimized for Barred (Strix varia). examined seasonal effects as determined by playback autonomous...
Abstract We integrated GPS and accelerometer data to examine habitat selection energy expenditure patterns across the diel cycle in Strix varia (Barred Owls), addressing a critical gap wildlife research that often overlooks activity during “inactive” phase. Owls Baton Rouge, Louisiana, selected forests with tall canopies open understories, particularly affluent neighborhoods, supporting “luxury effect” urban biodiversity. Nocturnal home ranges were larger (31.8 ha) compared diurnal (8.9 ha),...
