Understanding patterns in the spatial distribution of individuals in a population is a central
question in ecology. Concurrent with advances in biotelemetry devices, development of …

The pine-grassland ecosystems once prevalent in the Southeastern United States were
dependent on frequent fire events to maintain plant communities and avoid succession to …

Quantifying species-habitat relationships provides guidance for establishment of recovery
standards for endangered species, but research on forest bird habitat has been limited by …

Climate change may induce mismatches between wildlife reproductive phenology and
temporal occurrence of resources necessary for reproductive success. Verifying and …

Context Numerous wildlife species use a polygynous mating system, where males use
auditory courtship behaviors to secure breeding opportunities. The acoustic adaptation …

Predators elicit antipredator behaviors such as proactive and reactive movements in prey,
but both are rarely investigated simultaneously. Impacts of human predation risk on …

In ground nesting upland birds, reproductive activities contribute to elevated predation risk,
so females presumably use multiple strategies to ensure nest success. Identification of …

Prescribed fire is widely used in southeastern pine (Pinus spp.) forests to maintain desirable
forest conditions and provide early successional vegetation. However, it is unclear how fires …

Gradual changes in agricultural and landscape management practices have led to growing
uncertainty regarding eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) habitat …

Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) forests rely on prescribed fire to limit encroachment of
