Abstract Insect and pollinator populations are vitally important to the health of ecosystems, food production, economic stability, but declining worldwide. New, cheap, simple monitoring methods necessary inform management actions should be available researchers around world. Here, we evaluate efficacy a commercially available, close‐focus automated camera trap monitor insect–plant interactions insect behavior. We compared two video settings—scheduled motion‐activated—to traditional human...
Managing wildlife populations in the face of global change requires regular data on abundance and distribution wild animals, but acquiring these over appropriate spatial scales a sustainable way has proven challenging. Here we present from Snapshot USA 2020, second annual national mammal survey USA. This project involved 152 scientists setting camera traps standardized protocol at 1485 locations across 103 arrays 43 states for total 52,710 trap-nights effort. Most (58) were also sampled...
Abstract For over a century there have been continual efforts to incorporate nature into urban planning. These (i.e., reconciliation) aim manage and create habitats that support biodiversity within cities. Given species select habitat at different spatial scales, understanding the scale which respond their environment is critical success of reconciliation efforts. We assessed species–habitat relationships for common bat 50‐m, 500‐m, 1 km scales in Chicago (U.S.A.) metropolitan area predicted...
Species detections often vary depending on the survey methods employed. Some species may go undetected when using only one approach in community-level inventory and monitoring programs, which has management conservation implications. We conducted a comparative study of terrestrial mammal bird spring summer 2021 by placing camera traps at 30 locations across large military installation northern Michigan, USA testing replicate soil samples from these sites for environmental DNA (eDNA) an...
Habitat selection by mammalian carnivores may be driven prey availability, physical characteristics of the habitat, and landscape context. However, cues used to select habitat are often unclear. We examined seasonal diet American mink Neovison vison determined if abundance a primary prey, crayfish, was an important driver use during summer in agricultural Illinois. also evaluated effects stream size, water depth, riparian buffer width, urbanization on occupancy segments mink. collected scats...
Urbanization has profound effects on the presence and distribution of wildlife species. Although numerous studies have been conducted to inform our understanding urbanization wildlife, urban communities in tropics are especially rare. Here, we investigated bird community assemblage at an military installation, Fort Buchanan, located within San Juan Metropolitan Area Caribbean island Puerto Rico. Using fixed-radius point count surveys opportunistic encounters, documented over 1,700 individual...
Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of droughts and intensity seasonal precipitation in many regions. Semiaquatic mammals should be vulnerable this increased variability precipitation, especially human-modified landscapes where dispersal suitable habitat or temporary refugia may limited. Using six years presence-absence data (2007-2012) spanning record-breaking drought flood conditions, we evaluated regional occupancy dynamics American mink (Neovison vison) muskrats...
Predation risk for aquatic prey is affected by habitat characteristics and the predator community. Relative predation from terrestrial predators may differ in drought nondrought conditions because access to be water depth. We compared crayfish a human-dominated landscape during severe that year with standardized assay which tethered were exposed predators. placed trail cameras at tethering locations detect whether mortality was or evaluated effects of size, in-stream characteristics, context...

Pituophis ruthveni (Louisiana Pinesnake) is considered to be one of the rarest snake species in North America and, accordingly, was federally listed as threatened under Endangered Species Act 2018. Although much previous work has demonstrated species' tight association with its primary prey, Geomys breviceps (Baird's Pocket Gopher), relatively little been done on habitat selection, hampering management and conservation efforts. Here we use a variety technologies, including traditional...
Estimates of abundance and occupancy are essential for wildlife management, particularly species conservation concern such as eastern spotted skunks Spilogale putorius. Most studies rely on limited evidence best monitoring practices, while many use attractants to increase detections, previous have not tested against a control no attractant determine their effectiveness. We two common (sardines fatty acid tablets) one uncommon (wild boar carcasses) if any increased detections or changed...

Autopsy findings in a 39-year-old male gorilla included aortic dissection, internal rupture of the arch with axial direction tear, external ascending aorta, cardiac tamponade, myocardial hypertrophy, cystic and basophilic degeneration media, marked obesity, severe degenerative joint disease, focal glomerulonephritis, widespread hemosiderosis.
The 2020 global COVID-19 pandemic has compelled countries around the world to implement widespread and long-term shelter-in-place programs in order reduce disease transmission save lives.In this paper, we offer a framework for developing what refer as macro-prudential economic interruption insurance. "Macro-prudential" refers fact that temporary shutdown involved is both macroeconomic scope intentionally implemented by government greater good. "Economic insurance" describes nature of public...
