Robust assessment of associations between weather and eastern wild turkey nest success

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 88(2).

author keywords: climate change; Galliformes; Meleagris gallopavo; Phasianidae; precipitation; temperature; wet hen hypothesis
TL;DR: Temperature and precipitation have been identified as factors that potentially influence eastern wild turkey reproduction, but robust analyses testing the relationship between weather parameters and turkey nest success are lacking, and projections of future nest success or daily nest survival suggest that nest success may increase as January precipitation increases and thatdaily nest survival may increaseAs temperature during incubation increases.

Shrub encroachment threatens persistence of an endemic insular wetland rodent

Journal of Mammalogy.

By: W. Boone*, A. Albrecht*, J. Conrad*, C. Lechowicz*, E. Hellgren* & R. McCleery*

Ed(s): E. Flaherty

TL;DR: It is suggested that increases in shrub cover and reduced cordgrass cover may be driving the decline of this once ubiquitous endemic species and that the encroachment of freshwater wetlands requires greater attention due to its potential to imperil wetland-dependent wildlife.

Seasick: Why Value Ecosystems Severely Threatened by Sea-Level Rise?

Estuaries and Coasts, 44(4), 899–910.

Contributors: E. Torrez*, C. Frock*, W. Boone*, A. Sovie* & R. McCleery*

TL;DR: It is argued that it is critical to remain engaged in the research, restoration, and conservation of natural areas threatened by climate change for as long as possible and to face this unprecedented challenge with determination, creativity, and solution-based strategies.

Impact of Low-Intensity Hunting on Game Species in and Around the Kanuku Mountains Protected Area, Guyana

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 7.

By: M. Hallett*, A. Kinahan, R. McGregor*, T. Baggallay, T. Babb*, H. Barnabus*, A. Wilson, F. Li*, W. Boone*, B. Bankovich*

Contributors: M. Hallett*, A. Kinahan, R. McGregor*, T. Baggallay, T. Babb*, H. Barnabus*, A. Wilson, F. Li*, W. Boone*, B. Bankovich*

TL;DR: This study shows that the impact of current hunting intensity in and around the Kanuku Mountains Protected Area remains relatively low and supports the hypothesis that Neotropical forests can support hunting pressure of <1 person/km2, and highlights the importance of considering the entire ecosystem and not simply individual populations when establishing sustainable harvesting rates for an area.

Fox squirrel response to forest restoration treatments in longleaf pine

Journal of Mammalogy, 98(6), 1594–1603.

By: W. Boone*, R. McCleery* & B. Reichert*

Contributors: W. Boone*, R. McCleery* & B. Reichert*

TL;DR: Fox squirrel occurrence was positively associated with densities of turkey oak at the patch scale, which were significantly less abundant in herbicide-treated areas, and fire produced habitat more favorable for fox squirrels than did herbicide treatments. (via Semantic Scholar)

Shrub encroachment and vertebrate diversity: A global meta-analysis

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 27(3), 368–379.

TL;DR: Biodiversity conservation and mitigation efforts responding to shrub encroachment should focus on low-productivity locations, on mammals and herpetofauna, and in Africa. (via Semantic Scholar)

Burn regime matters: A review of the effects of prescribed fire on vertebrates in the longleaf pine ecosystem

Forest Ecology and Management, 378, 214–221.

By: A. Darracq*, W. Boone* & R. McCleery*

Contributors: A. Darracq*, W. Boone* & R. McCleery*

TL;DR: If management objectives include maximizing wildlife diversity, managers should use a more variable fire regime across the landscape, from annual to less frequent 5 year burn intervals, to maintain localized patches of oaks and increase the compositional and structural diversity within the system.
