Noninvasive data collection methods are increasingly used to study wildlife populations that are difficult to observe. To estimate population sizes, biologists often turn to spatial capture-recapture and count-based statistical methods. In the September issue of the Journal of Wildlife Management, researchers developed a model incorporating both methods and applied it to Roosevelt elk (Cervus canadensis roosevelti) in the Karuk Ancestral Territory in Northern California.
Other articles examine weather conditions affecting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) harvest in Iowa, advancing wildlife connectivity in land use planning for four-toed salamanders (Hemidactylium scutatum), habitat use of mesocarnivores in urban and rural areas, and more.
