Using banding data to estimate primary feather molt and hatch chronology of white‐winged doves in Texas Open
Banding data are commonly used to estimate vital rates for migratory game bird management. We used white‐winged dove ( Zenaida asiatic a) banding data to estimate molt and hatch chronology in Texas. We used Texas Parks and Wildlife Departm…

Demonstration of a multi‐species, multi‐response state‐and‐transition model approach for wildlife management Open
Land management agencies have collaborated to standardize assessments of rangeland health. These assessments incorporate state‐and‐transition concepts of ecosystem function using ecological site descriptions (ESDs) initially developed to p…

Broad-scale habitat use by fledgling Black-capped Vireo Open
Knowledge of avian habitat associations during the postfledging stage is lacking for most songbirds, which limits the ability to develop and implement management plans that address the full life cycle of birds. The Black-capped Vireo (Vire…

Acute toxicity of gossypol in northern bobwhites Open
Gossypol, a secondary metabolite found in cotton (Gossypium spp.), is known to be toxic to a variety of animals, particularly monogastric mammals and commercial poultry (Gallus domesticus). Gossypol toxicosis in poultry include reduced wei…

Using conspecific broadcast for Willow Flycatcher restoration Open
Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii) populations have been in decline across the western United States for decades. California populations are especially vulnerable with fewer than 500 pairs remaining in the state. Declines and local ext…

Evaluation of Land Restoration Practices on Northern Bobwhite Productivity in North-Central Texas: Preliminary Results Open
The decades long decline in grassland avian populations is ultimately attributed to changing land use throughout the United States. Due to their economic importance and status as a healthy grassland indicator species, attention focused tow…

A before–after control–impact assessment to understand the potential impacts of highway construction noise and activity on an endangered songbird Open
Anthropogenic noise associated with highway construction and operation can have individual‐ and population‐level consequences for wildlife (e.g., reduced densities, decreased reproductive success, behavioral changes). We used a before–afte…
