Carnivore Translocations and Conservation: Insights from Population Models and Field Data for Fishers (Martes pennanti)

Building the bridge between animal movement and population dynamics

[Review of ]. PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 365(1550), 2289–2301.

By: J. Morales *, P. Moorcroft *, J. Matthiopoulos *, J. Frair *, J. Kie*, R. Powell n, E. Merrill *, D. Haydon *

author keywords: demography; redistribution kernels; perfect mixing; spatial ecology; dispersal; time budgets
TL;DR: The way animals move has important consequences for the degree of mixing that the authors expect to find both within a population and between individuals of different species, and as most animals revisit some places and avoid others based on their previous experiences, they foresee the incorporation of long-term memory and intention in movement models.

By: M. Mitchell * & R. Powell n

author keywords: area-minimizing; carrying capacity; landscape; limiting resources; optimal home range; patch; resource depression; resource distribution; resource-minimizing; resource threshold; spatially explicit; individual-based model
TL;DR: The results suggest that, in addition to landscape configuration, the extent to which animals depress resources included in their home ranges should determine the evenness of spatial dispersion, overlap, and home range structure, especially where animals select home ranges to satisfy a specific resource threshold and the density of animals is high.

Home ranges, cognitive maps, habitat models and fitness landscapes for Martes

In A. K. F. D. J. Harrison & G. Proulx (Eds.), Martens and fishers (Martes) in human-altered environments: An international perspective (pp. 135–146).

By: R. Powell*

Ed(s): A. D. J. Harrison & G. Proulx

TL;DR: It is proposed that energy might be used as a crude index for modeling cognitive maps and fitness landscapes for fishers, and that model would form a basis for testing the a priori hypothesis that fishers choose home ranges that minimize the area needed to meet their requirements, thus maximizing their fitness.

The effect on model identifiability of allowing different relocation rates for live and dead animals in the combined analysis of telemetry and recapture data

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL STATISTICS, 9(1), 27–41.

By: M. Nasution*, C. Brownie n, K. Pollock n & R. Powell n

author keywords: capture-recapture; near-singularity; overparameterization; radio telemetry; unequal catchability; wildlife studies
TL;DR: Analysis of data from the study on black bears illustrated that estimates of survival have poor precision when relocation rates are estimated separately for live and dead animals, and it is recommended that the effort expended to relocate both living anddead animals be consistently high in each telemetry survey, so that relocation rates will be high and constant across time and mortality status.

TL;DR: It was found that male home-range sizes were not positively associated with body size, but encounter rates with breeding females were not, and multiple paternity occurred in two of seven litters, indicating that sperm competition is important in black bear mating behaviour.

TL;DR: Forest management positively affected some aspects of bear habitat but had an overall negative effect on habitat suitability in the southern Appalachians, where soft mast is limiting, however, trade-offs between overall habitats suitability and improved productivity of soft mast may be warranted.

TL;DR: Five model predator- Prey communities, developed from the literature and based on the fisher-porcupine-snowshoe hare-deer carrion predator-prey community in Upper Peninsula Michigan, show stability in both one-predator-one-preying and one-Predator-three-preY forms. (via Semantic Scholar)

ECOLOGICAL ENERGETICS AND FORAGING STRATEGIES OF THE FISHER (MARTES-PENNANTI)

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL ECOLOGY, 48(1), 195–212.

By: R. Powell*

TL;DR: The energy budget model and field data are used to develop a simple optimal foraging strategy model for the fisher, which depends on estimated search times for each prey relative to estimated energy obtained from each prey but does not depend on handling times and handling energy expenditures.
