ABSTRACT Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multicontributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing dataset intended for tracking spatial and temporal responses mammal populations to changes in land use, cover climate. These data will be useful exploring drivers relative abundance distribution, as well impacts species interactions on daily activity patterns. Main Types Variables Contained 2019–2023 contains 987,979 records image sequence 9694 deployment...
Abstract Passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags allow a range of individual‐level data to be collected passively and have become commonly used technology in many avian studies. Although the potential adverse effects PIT been evaluated several species, explicit investigations their impacts on small (<12 g) birds are limited. This is important, because it reasonable expect that smaller could impacted more strongly by application tags. In this study, we individually marked Black‐capped...
ABSTRACT In cities throughout North America, sightings of coyotes ( Canis latrans ) have become common. Reports human-coyote conflict are also rising, as is the public demand for proactive management to prevent negative interactions. Effective and can be informed by direct observations community members, who report their interactions with describe location, time, context that led To assess predictors conflict, we used a web-based reporting system collect 9,134 community-supplied reports in...

The historic western edge of the bison (Bison bison) range and ecological processes that caused its formation are frequently debated with important implications for restoration across North America. We test hypothesis a combination bottom-up habitat suitability top-down harvest pressure from Indigenous peoples were in forming distribution. Using 9384 historical journal observations 1691–1928, we employ MaxEnt niche modelling to identify suitable Western Cordillera climatic, land cover,...
Oceanic heatwaves have significant impacts on disease dynamics in marine ecosystems. Following an extreme heatwave Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, Canada, a severe sea cucumber wasting event occurred that resulted the mass mortality of Apostichopus californicus. Here, we sought to determine if heat stress isolation could trigger symptoms A. californicus . We exposed cucumbers (i) simulated (22 °C), (ii) elevated temperature treatment (17 or (iii) control conditions (12 °C). measured presence...
The reintroduction of extirpated species is a frequent tactic in rewilding projects because the functional role play maintaining ecosystem health. Despite their potential to benefit both ecosystems and society, however, most well-known reintroductions have adopted an eco-centric, “nature-in-people-out” approach. Rewilding theory practitioners acknowledge that ignoring Indigenous people did might once again shaping distribution, abundance, movements, behavior, health wild ecosystems,...
