Detection probability of the Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus): Implications for developing habitat use models
DownloadSpring 2024
As old-growth forest ecosystems become increasingly scarce in North America, the need to accurately and efficiently survey, monitor, and model old-growth specialists and keystone species, such as the Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus), becomes increasingly important. Little is known about...

Polar bear conservation faces significant challenges under Arctic warming, especially with respect to habitat loss and the resulting impacts on their seasonal energetic uptake and maintenance. Polar bears rely on sea ice for hunting, mating, denning, and rearing of offspring, and the availability...

What does a detection mean? Spatial and behavioural context improves the use of passive acoustic monitoring for the conservation of a wide-ranging bird
DownloadFall 2021
The culture of ecology is shifting towards collaborative, integrative approaches that use ‘big data’ to solve big problems. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has the potential to play a role in this new paradigm because it uses in-situ autonomous recording units (ARUs) to collect a permanent...
