Location and Species Matters: Variable Influence of the Environment on the Gene Flow of Imperiled, Native and Invasive Cottontails Open
The environment plays an important role in the movement of individuals and their associated genes among populations, which facilitates gene flow. Gene flow can help maintain the genetic diversity both within and between populations and cou…

Novel Use of Species Distribution Modeling to Identify High Priority Sites for American Woodcock Habitat Management Open
Most species distribution models (SDMs) predict the probability of presence (POP) of a species at any location based on an analysis of known occurrences and environmental variables; however, such SDMs cannot predict how much the POP of a s…

An Ecological Assessment of Critically Endangered Chinese Pangolin <i>Manis pentadactyla</i> (Mammalia: Pholidota: Manidae) in the Midhills Region of Nepal Open
The Chinese Pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) is a “Critically Endangered” insectivorous mammal. There is a lack of information on the ecology, distribution and behavior of this species in Nepal, even though community forests in the Midhills R…

Mitochondrial DNA analysis of critically endangered Chinese Pangolins (<i>Manis pentadactyla</i>) from Nepal Open
Chinese Pangolins (Manis pentadactyla) are Critically Endangered and one of the most illegally traded mammals globally. We generated first COI sequences from five individuals of this species from Nepal. BLASTn search of our 600 bp sequence…

Landscape context matters when American Woodcock select singing grounds: Results from a reciprocal transplant experiment Open
The multiscale nature of habitat selection during the breeding season for migratory birds means that core-use areas (e.g., breeding territories) are selected based on their local habitat features, but these may also be influenced in some w…

Molecular identification of three sympatric lagomorphs in the Northeastern United States Open
The New England cottontail (Sylvilagus transitionalis) is the focus of extensive efforts to conserve the species. A major component of their conservation program is the collection of faecal samples to determine their distribution and abund…

Mobilizing Private Landowners to Create American Woodcock Habitat Lessons Learned in Rhode Island, USA Open
Engaging private landowners in the conservation of American woodcock (Scolopax minor; hereafter, woodcock) in the northeastern United States is important because most forests in the region are privately owned. For this reason, a consortium…

Habitat Selection of American Woodcock and its Implications for Habitat Management Where Young Forests are Rare Open
American woodcock (Scolopax minor; hereafter woodcock) habitat use or selection has been studied extensively since the mid-1960s; most such studies, however, have taken place when and where young forest habitat selected by woodcock was rel…

An Analysis of Overstory Tree Canopy Cover in Sites Occupied by Native and Introduced Cottontails in the Northeastern United States with Recommendations for Habitat Management for New England Cottontail Open
The New England cottontail (Sylvilagus transitionalis) is a high conservation priority in the Northeastern United States and has been listed as a candidate species under the Endangered Species Act. Loss of early successional habitat is the…
