- Joint telemetry and mark–recapture model reveal resource selection affects Northern Bobwhite chick survival
Justin N. Hill, Theron M Terhune, William B. Lewis et al. · Ecosphere · 2026-09 · open access
Abstract Resource selection studies have become increasingly common since the advent of modern animal tracking equipment, yet most studies fail to examine how selection affects vital rates or population growth (i.e., fitness). Without investigating if optimal habitat selection is facilitated in a…

- Risk Assessment During Nest Defense Against Three Simulated Predators by Female Northern House Wrens ( Troglodytes aedon ).
Eggleston RC, Fornara JH, Davis KM et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2025-01 · open access
Offspring predation is one of the greatest obstacles to an organism's reproductive success, but parents vary in the strength of their response to potential predators. One explanation for this variable investment is that defending current offspring has the potential to lower future reproductive…

- Evaluating deterrents to reduce depredation of wood duck eggs in nest boxes
E. Morton Miller, Richard M. Kaminski, Beau A. Bauer et al. · Wildlife Society Bulletin · 2024-08 · open access
Abstract Wood ducks ( Aix sponsa ) are secondary natural cavity‐nesting species that also nest in artificial nest boxes. Since the early 20th century, nest boxes have been widely deployed in North America to increase nesting sites for wood ducks and bolster production. Equipping nest boxes with a…
