Researchers often conduct aerial counts in combination with ground counts to survey ungulate species. But since this approach is sometimes impractical, one team wondered if remote cameras would provide similar results. In the featured article of the September issue of The Journal of Wildlife Management, researchers compared the two approaches for estimating bighorn sheep and mule deer numbers on Wild Horse Island in western Montana.

Other articles look at the ethics of using samples from trophy hunting for conservation, the effects of lethal wolf removal on moose, an evaluation of inbreeding depression in Mexican wolves and much more!
