Raccoon Vigilance and Activity Patterns When Sympatric with Coyotes

Diversity, 12(9), 341.

By: M. Chitwood*, M. Lashley*, S. Higdon*, C. DePerno n  & C. Moorman n 

author keywords: activity pattern; camera trap; coyote; fear; mesopredator release; raccoon; trophic cascade; vigilance
topics (OpenAlex): Wildlife Ecology and Conservation; Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies; Human-Animal Interaction Studies
TL;DR: It is indicated that nonconsumptive effects of coyote effects on raccoons are unlikely, which calls into question the ability of coyotes to initiate strong trophic cascades through some mesocarnivores. (via Semantic Scholar)

Do indirect bite count surveys accurately represent diet selection of white-tailed deer in a forested environment?

Lashley, M. A., Chitwood, M. C., Street, G. M., Moorman, C. E., & DePerno, C. S. (2016, June 3). Wildlife Research, Vol. 43, pp. 254–260.

author keywords: Chesson Index; diet selection transect; herbivory; indirect bite count; microhistological survey; white-tailed deer
topics (OpenAlex): Wildlife Ecology and Conservation; Rangeland and Wildlife Management; Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
TL;DR: Indirect bite counts may provide a relatively accurate index of the deer-selected plants most important in the white-tailed deer diet, but may be less appropriate to determine selection of plants that infrequently occur in their diet, plants that are typically consumed in entirety, or plants where herbivory damage is poorly identified.

author keywords: growing-season fire; hardwood; longleaf pine; oak; prescribed fire; Quercus; Sciurus niger
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Ecology and Behavior Studies; Fire effects on ecosystems; Wildlife Ecology and Conservation
TL;DR: Fox squirrels likely benefit from growing-season fires that maintain expansive upland pine stands but are negatively affected by homogeneous fire application and mechanical hardwood removal that reduce the occurrence of reproductively mature oaks across the landscape. (via Semantic Scholar)

topics (OpenAlex): Wildlife Ecology and Conservation; Rangeland and Wildlife Management; Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies
TL;DR: It is indicated that neonate survival was low and coyote predation was an important source of mortality, which corroborates several recent studies from the region and indicates that mitigating effects of coyotepredation on neonates may be more complicated than simply managing for increased hiding cover.

Poor soils and density‐mediated body weight in deer: forage quality or quantity?

Lashley, M. A., Chitwood, M. C., Harper, C. A., Moorman, C. E., & DePerno, C. S. (2015, July 1). Wildlife Biology, Vol. 21, pp. 213–219.

topics (OpenAlex): Wildlife Ecology and Conservation; Rangeland and Wildlife Management; Fire effects on ecosystems
TL;DR: Female deer increased selection of burned areas as years-since-fire increased, likely because there was a temporary loss of cover immediately following fire with plants slowly regenerating the subsequent growing seasons and to avoid areas depleted of cover. (via Semantic Scholar)
