In the final decades of the nineteenth century, concern was building about the status of
migratory bird populations in North America. In this literature review, we describe how that …

Integrated population models (IPMs) represent a formal statistical methodology for
combining multiple data sets such as population counts, band recoveries, and fecundity …

Identifying the demographic parameters (eg, reproduction, survival, dispersal) that most
influence population dynamics can increase conservation effectiveness and enhance …

A common challenge for studying wildlife populations occurs when different survey methods
provide inconsistent or incomplete inference on the trend, dynamics, or viability of a …

Abstract Knowledge of land‐use patterns that could affect animal population resiliency or
vulnerability to environmental threats such as climate change is essential, yet the interactive …

The management of sustainable harvest of animal populations is of great ecological and
conservation importance. Development of formal quantitative tools to estimate and mitigate …

Migratory species form an important component of biodiversity; they link ecosystems across
the globe, but are increasingly threatened by global environmental change. Understanding …

Knowledge of band reporting is important for converting band encounter data into estimates
of harvest probabilities, which can then be used to assess harvest management goals or …

Harvest of wild organisms is an important component of human culture, economy, and
recreation, but can also put species at risk of extinction. Decisions that guide successful …

Abstract The management of North American waterfowl is predicated on long‐term,
continental‐scale banding implemented prior to the hunting season (ie, July–September) …
