Abstract Ash dieback is a disease caused by the fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus . Since its emergence in 1990s, this pandemic has spread throughout much of native range host species, European ash ( Fraxinus excelsior ). Where present, it can kill up to 85% trees. The loss these trees had an enormous impact, particularly Britain and Ireland where they formed integral component wood farmland, supporting complex communities other species. Thanks part widespread public interest, also...
Detecting changes in population trends depends on the accuracy of estimated mean growth rates and thus quality input data. However, monitoring wildlife populations poses economic logistic challenges especially complex remote habitats. Declines can remain undetected for years unless effective techniques are developed, guiding appropriate management actions. We developed an automated survey workflow using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) to quantify number size individual animals,...
The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is an endangered species with a declining global population. South Ari Atoll Marine Protected Area (SAMPA), Maldives, one of few locations globally where year-long residency individuals occurs. This SAMPA aggregation appears to consist almost exclusively immature males. Due its year-round residency, this local subjected high degree tourism pressure. ecotourism contributes the level interest and protection offered sharks by community. Unfortunately, if...
Multiple fires conducted in spring (March-April) and summer (June-July) on blue grama (Bouteha gmdis [H.B. K. Lag.]) grassland near Corona, N.M. were used to relate broom snakeweed (Gutierreziu sarohrue [Pursb] Britt & Rusby) control pre-burn vegetation, weather, fire conditions.Spring fws moved faster burned cooler than as indicated by measurements from thermocouples giving the fire's rate of spread, temperature, beat.In spring, was bud stage with little green foliage fves provided less...
Changes in species abundance and distribution are driven by short-term interactions between individuals their environment, as well long-term shifts climate, prey abundance, disease outbreaks predators, acting across generations. Unfortunately, management of wildlife populations humans has often overlooked these effects. This approach resulted an overestimation nature’s resilience, leading to overharvesting contributing the decline extinction species. Field studies that document demography...
Abstract Body mass is a fundamental indicator of animal health closely linked to survival and reproductive success. Systematic assessment body for large proportion population can allow early detection changes likely impact growth, facilitating responsive management mechanistic understanding ecological trends. One challenge with integrating into monitoring sampling enough animals detect trends account individual variation. Harbour seals ( Phoca vitulina ) are philopatric marine mammals...
Abstract Background Understanding how free-ranging animals behave can help in the design of optimal management strategies to both conserve species and enable individuals express natural behaviours, maximising welfare. Animal-borne accelerometers passively collect data on body acceleration which be interpreted quantify behaviour. Accelerometers are increasingly used behavioural research, however validation accelerometer readouts classification discrete behaviours is required for each species....
Broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae [Pursh] Britt &Rusby) propagation was monitored from 1990 through 1998 following burning and herbicide control practices conducted on blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis [H. B. K. Lag.]) grasslands near Corona, N.M. usually germinated in April, May, or June (83% of 394 total) mostly 1991 1992 (81% when spring moisture sufficient. The majority broom seedlings (52% emerged the first second year after summer burning, especially areas where grass yield cover...
Colonization of the root surface, or rhizoplane, is one first steps for soil-borne bacteria to become established in plant microbiome. However, relative contributions processes, such as bacterial attachment and proliferation not well characterized, this limits our ability comprehend complex dynamics microbial communities rhizosphere. The work presented here addresses knowledge gap. A model system was developed acquire quantitative data on colonization process lettuce (Lactuca sativa L....
Abstract The ground pangolin ( Smutsia temminckii Smuts 1832) is vulnerable to extinction due poaching and trafficking. Recovery of pangolins from the trade subsequent rehabilitation release form a core component conservation. Post‐release monitoring rehabilitated through attachment very high frequency (VHF) transmitters satellite devices carried out determine efficacy protocols. We report on 14 confirmed 19 potential incidents device removal by predators during non‐fatal attacks, which...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Quantifying animal behaviour is important to many areas of ecology and conservation. Understanding how free ranging animals behave can help in the design optimal management strategies both conserve species enable individuals express natural behaviours, maximising welfare. This particularly for endangered which a high level human intervention needed counteract population declines extinctions. Animal-borne bio-logging devices, such as accelerometers, present...
