Evaluation of Seasonal Habitat Use By White-Tailed Deer in Eastern South Dakota
Seasonal use of selected habitat types by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was investigated using radio telemetry locations during 1983 and 1984, on a predominantly agricultural area in east-central South Dakota. In the summer of 1983, radio-collared deer used corn, shelterbelts, and …

Seasonal Habitat Use, Home Range, and Dispersal of Wild Turkeys in Southcentral South Dakota
Seasonal movements, home range, and habitat use of wild turkeys in south-central South Dakota were investigated using radio telemetry from summer 1984 to winter 1986. Spring dispersal from wintering sites ranged from 0.2 to 5.8 km (x = 2.8 km). Non-nesting females moved significantly (P ~ 0.05) …

Home ranges and habitat selection of red-shouldered hawks in Central Maryland: evaluating telemetry triangulation errors
… time and site-specific factors that can cause errors. If these errors are not considered when using location data, the conclusions drawn about animal behavior such as habitat use might be misleading. I determined home range and habitat use and selection characteristics of red-shouldered …

ASSESSING AND IMPROVING BIODIVERSITY OUTCOMES FOR TROPICAL FOREST RESTORATION
… declines. Tropical forests, which both house 80% of global biodiversity and account for 90% of deforestation from 2000-2018, are a particular focus of international initiatives like the Bonn Challenge and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030). The success of restoration …
