The cover feature of the Spring issue of The Wildlife Professional brings us into the world of insects and zooms into some of the major roles they play and the conservation challenges they face. Staff writer Olivia Milloway introduces us to mayflies, a sentinel species for water quality that is declining. She also delves into the American burying beetle, a species that benefits the plants around them, and how a lack of data makes them harder to conserve.
The special focus for this issue takes us to larger but just as important species and an issue that scientists have been studying since the 1920s—transportation ecology. From overpasses and underpasses to culverts in water, wildlifers are deploying mitigation techniques to help animals safely cross roads and barriers without causing human-wildlife conflict. This field requires collaboration between many partners, including engineers, transportation planners, nonprofit organizations and more.
