Age-specific Survival of Reintroduced Swift Fox in Badlands National Park and Surrounding Lands

WILDLIFE SOCIETY BULLETIN, 40(2), 217–223.

By: I. Sasmal*, R. Klaver*, J. Jenks* & G. Schroeder

author keywords: apparent survival; capture-recapture; Cormack-Jolly-Seber; Program Mark; swift fox; Vulpes velox
TL;DR: The authors' results indicate low survival probabilities for a reintroduced population of swift foxes in the BNP and surrounding areas, and management of reintroduced populations and future reintroductions of swift Foxes should consider the effects of relative low annual survival on population demography.

Accounting for residential propagule pressure improves prediction of urban plant invasion

ECOSPHERE, 7(3).

By: A. Davis*, K. Singh n, J. Thill* & R. Meentemeyer n

author keywords: Chinese privet; force of invasion; generalist invader; habitat suitability model; human-mediated invasion pressure; invasive shrub; Ligustrum sinense; plant invasion; propagule pressure; species distribution model; urban forest
TL;DR: SDMs for invasive exotic shrubs and potentially for other synanthropic generalist plants may be highly inefficient when residential propagule pressure is not accounted for, enabling decision makers to feasibly prioritize regional scale monitoring and control efforts. (via Semantic Scholar)

A hierarchical distance sampling model to estimate abundance and covariate associations of species and communities

METHODS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION, 7(5), 529–537.

author keywords: Bayesian P-value; cluster size; hierarchical model; seabirds; sparse data; wildlife surveys
TL;DR: The HDS model allowed us to make inference about ecology of species communities, including rarely observed species, which is particularly important in conservation and management, and holds great potential to improve inference on species communities that can be surveyed with distance sampling.

Evaluating the benefit of captive breeding and reintroductions to endangered Sonoran pronghorn

BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION, 196, 133–146.

By: J. Horne*, J. Hervert*, S. Woodruff* & L. Mills n

author keywords: Antilocapra americana sonoriensis; Arizona; Population viability analysis; Stochastic; Time series; Uncertainty analysis
TL;DR: It is found that rates of change in the Sonoran pronghorn population were closely tied to the amount of precipitation in the area but that viability was greatly enhanced by conservation actions including the maintenance of a captive population, as well as the establishment of two additional populations outside the current range.

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

WILDLIFE RESEARCH, 43(3), 254–260.

author keywords: Chesson Index; diet selection transect; herbivory; indirect bite count; microhistological survey; white-tailed deer
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.
