As such, it is important to quantify and report variation in ARU performance as new recording systems become available. We used the automated classification software SonoBat to compare the number of call files, number of echolocation pulses, and number of species recorded by a commonly used, full-spectrum bat detector—the Song Meter SM4BAT-FS—and a less expensive, open-source ARU that can detect ultrasound—the AudioMoth. We deployed paired ARUs across several forest types in Louisiana during breeding (June–August) and non-breeding (December–February) periods in 2020 and 2021. Weatherproof cases were unavailable for AudioMoths at the time of our study. Thus, we used disposable plastic bags and plastic boxes recommended by the manufacturer and other AudioMoth users to house our monitors. We lost several AudioMoths to water damage using both methods and subsequently placed these monitors in waterproof smartphone bags for the remainder of our study. We compared data collected by AudioMoths in the three enclosures and found no differences in the number of call files identified to species or species richness. We found that SM4BATs recorded more call files identifiable to species, call files with high-frequency bat calls, echolocation pulses, and higher species richness than AudioMoths. Our results likely reflected differences in microphone sensitivities, recording specifications, and enclosures between the ARUs. We recommend caution when comparing data collected by different ARUs, especially through time as firmware updates and new enclosures become available, and additional research to examine variation in monitor performance across a wide range of environmental conditions.","PeriodicalId":49036,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44092034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no estimates of axis deer population density or size have been conducted since 1994. It is hypothesized that axis deer on the Edwards Plateau are potentially competing with native white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus for food, space, and habitat resources, and causing damage to important riparian habitats. Our goal was to estimate regional densities of axis deer and white-tailed deer, and provide insight about the potential impacts axis deer may have on native wildlife and their habitats. Estimated using distance sampling techniques in 2018 and 2019, average axis deer density was 19.7 (95% CI: 14.1 – 25.6) axis deer/km2 compared to 23.0 (95% CI: 18.2 – 27.5) white-tailed deer/km2, and axis deer densities ranged from 16.9 – 171.0 /km2 among eight different land cover types in Kimble County, TX, with a county wide estimate of 61,078 (95% CI: 30,407 – 100,369) axis deer. Axis deer densities were greatest in riparian habitats, and they selected for two riparian habitats and upland grasslands. Axis deer population estimates clearly indicate their population size has increased substantially since introduction to Texas in the 1930’s. Population management of axis deer is warranted to limit impacts to native wildlife from potential habitat usurpation, or damage to riparian vegetation communities, soil, and water quality.","PeriodicalId":49036,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43707429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 200 fish were used, 154 fish were attracted to the fishway entrance and counted as participants. The fishway was operated under varying flow conditions using three flow control plate treatments and a control to investigate a) the extent to which each treatment reduced flow compared to the control, and b) the extent to which each treatment impacted passage success of Arctic Grayling relative to the control. Passage success was measured as the ratio of the number of fish that fully ascended the fishway treatment to the number of participant fish attracted to the fishway treatment.  One of the three plates, the Denil slot treatment, showed no evidence of reducing either flow or passage success.  Another plate, the standard treatment, showed no evidence of reducing flow but moderate evidence of reducing passage success (p=0.03).  The only treatment to significantly reduce water flow rate was the narrowed Denil slot treatment and there was no evidence this treatment reduced passage in comparison to the control.  Over all trials, water flow rate through the Denil fishway had a strong positive influence on fish passage success.","PeriodicalId":49036,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47893355","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Upstream Colorado Pikeminnow distribution is limited by Flaming Gorge Dam and few typically occurred in the reach immediately downstream of the dam, which is most affected by thermally and hydrologically altered dam releases. However, fish captures and passive integrated transponder (PIT) antenna sampling of previously tagged individuals from 2011-2021 revealed seasonal congregations of up to 75 Colorado Pikeminnow annually in the mouth of Vermillion Creek, a small tributary in the regulated reach. Approximately 11% of the entire 2017-2018 Green River basin population (N=93 individuals) were encountered in Vermillion Creek over the 11-year study, an underestimate of use considering untagged fish were not detected by antennas. Colorado Pikeminnow used Vermillion Creek primarily when Green River spring flows from Flaming Gorge Dam were high and cold in May through mid-June when the confluence was a large, deep backwater that was warmer than the main channel and supported forage fishes. Intra-annual encounters revealed seasonal residence times for individual Colorado Pikeminnow up to 91 days, and multiple inter-annual encounters indicated site fidelity. Frequent detections of individual Colorado Pikeminnow in a Yampa River spawning area soon after their detections in Vermillion Creek indicate this tributary may be an important resource for reproductive adults. The intensive and basin-wide PIT tagging and detection program for Colorado Pikeminnow enhanced our understanding of the importance of small habitat nodes such as Vermillion Creek in the Green River drainage network. Understanding and protecting these seasonally available riverine habitat mosaics used for prespawning conditioning may assist with recovery of Colorado Pikeminnow.","PeriodicalId":49036,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46827557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biased or imprecise age estimates can lead to erroneous conclusions and have implications for age-based survival estimates, indications of recruitment, and growth estimators. We examined fin rays collected from individual suckers captured on multiple occasions and determined that juvenile suckers deposit a translucent increment on fin rays annually. Size at age data for suckers first captured as young as age-0 corroborated our finding of annual increment formation and indicate the first increments are formed at age-1. We used edge and marginal increment analysis conducted on fin rays to determine the timing of annual increment formation.

The recently described AHDriFT Camera Trap System (i.e., camera traps combined with drift fences) can survey small terrestrial vertebrates and does not require much time in the field. Our objective was to compare the efficiency and effectiveness of AHDriFT systems and traditional Sherman traps for surveying small mammal communities. Surveys with both methods were conducted in four sites of varying habitat types at the Eagle Marsh Nature Preserve (Fort Wayne, IN, USA) from February to July in 2020 and May to August in 2021. We conducted 640 trap nights (one trap set on one calendar night) of Sherman trap surveys and 551 trap nights of AHDriFT system surveys. We captured 192 small mammals of 3 species with Sherman traps and obtained 532 images of unique small mammal individuals of 7 species with AHDriFT systems. Our AHDriFT systems resulted in two times greater species richness (Z = −6.21, P < 0.01), 16 times greater species evenness (Z = −4.83, P < 0.01), and 23 times greater Shannon’s diversity values (Z = −4.87, P < 0.01) than Sherman traps. The AHDriFT systems also documented the presence of four species that the Sherman traps did not (northern short-tailed shrew Blarina brevicauda, common shrew Sorex cinereus, long-tailed weasel Neogale frenata, eastern chipmunk Tamias striatus). Overall, AHDriFT system surveys provided 1.5–5 times more observations per dollar spent and required 90% less time in the field than Sherman trap surveys. These results suggest that AHDriFT systems may be a more efficient and effective method of surveying small mammal communities.","PeriodicalId":49036,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41890831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We radiotracked 11 female and subadult evening bats to nine roosts during June and July 2018 and 2019 captured in San Bernard Wildlife Refuge (SBNWR). No transmittered bats roosted in SBNWR and instead all roosts were located 3.6–4.5 km from the same capture site, within an 81-ha residential area of a 5,496-ha city. Five of the nine roosts were in tall, live, live oak trees Quercus virginana and one roost was in a residential home. Colony size of bats occupying the roosts ranged from 16 to 500+ bats. All evening bats, including those on properties we were denied access to, stayed in roosts for the full life of the transmitter (five–21 days) and no roost switching occurred. Although evening bats used SBNWR, potentially for foraging, results suggest trees in the residential area provided suitable maternity roost characteristics. A lack of roost switching may suggest a lack of available roost trees in SBNWR and residential areas or the selected roost trees were high quality.

However, catch-and-release angling could cause delayed mortality and non-lethal effects that could potentially impact population dynamics. For instance, hooking can result in jaw deformities, with unknown subsequent effects on vulnerability to angling, condition, growth, and mortality. Our objectives were to assess the prevalence of Largemouth Bass jaw deformities and test for differences in angling vulnerability, growth, condition, size structure, and mortality of fish with and without jaw deformities. Largemouth Bass were captured by electrofishing and by anglers at 41 tournaments at Brushy Creek, Iowa between April and August 2015. Jaw deformities were observed in 7.0% of fish caught at tournaments and 3.3% caught while electrofishing (5.8% overall). Angling recapture rates of tagged fish with (78.9%) and without (76.8%) jaw deformities were similar. Condition, growth, size structure, and mortality of fish with and without jaw deformities were also similar. Our results indicate jaw deformities have little effect on Largemouth Bass angling vulnerability, condition, growth, or survival; however, we still recommend careful handling of fish to minimize injuries that may occur during angling.","PeriodicalId":49036,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41366144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
