|
We present an overview of the ecological questions that can be addressed using high-frequency GPS tags on migratory shorebirds. This emerging technology provides new avenues for research and understanding movements and behaviors, but also presents new challenges in data collection and management. This talk is aimed at researchers to present a balanced view of the challenges and benefits of high-frequency GPS tags and the types of studies that might be most suited to their use.

|
We evaluate the use of autonomous recording units (ARUs) to monitor bobwhite occupancy by comparing ARU detections with concurrent covey call surveys by trained observers. Our findings will help inform future studies of northern bobwhite occupancy at a landscape-scale previously unattainable with traditional survey methods. Such a study design will be critical in informing targeted and effective conservation efforts to restore populations of this iconic game bird.

Trumpeter Swans are a species of conservation concern in Iowa. Since their reintroduction, the population has grown to exceed the previously-set recovery targets. Iowa is currently re-evaluating recovery goals and monitoring for this species, and this analysis will provide an estimate of population growth rate from 1994-2020 as well as age- and sex-specific demographic rates to inform those decisions.

|
When photo-capture and recapture rates are a function of camera density, modifying camera trapping techniques by deploying moderate camera densities or repositioning cameras to more productive areas within survey grids may improve capture success in low density bobcat populations.

|
January 2018
|
Because SFS exhibit plasticity in sexual dimorphism, sex differences in parasite loads may be attributable to immunosuppressive qualities of testosterone. Ectoparasite loads also may negatively influence body condition, and juvenile small males that are more susceptible to higher parasite loads may be unable to allocate as much energy to growth as large animals.

|
January 2018
|
Additionally, patterns of diurnal nest tree use revealed near exclusive use of natural cavities located primarily in live trees, which may be attributed to a propensity of SFS to select cavities with small entrances and avoid cavities that have been enlarged by other species. Use of natural cavities for denning is encouraging, but also underscores the importance of unharvested hardwood forests in contributing essential habitat to SFS populations in fragmented forested landscapes.

Trumpeter Swans are a species of conservation concern in Iowa. Since their reintroduction, the population has grown to exceed the previously-set recovery targets. Iowa is currently re-evaluating recovery goals and monitoring for this species, and this analysis will provide an estimate of population growth rate from 1994-2020 as well as age- and sex-specific demographic rates to inform those decisions.

This work will assist biologists understand the spatial and temporal patterns in hybridization between two invasive carp species in the Mississippi River Basin. Each species has its own specific trophic ecology and diets due to differences in behavior and gill raker morphology. Replacement of one invasive species by another or genetic introgression of the two species through hybridization may have important implications for how these species are competing with native planktivores.

We suggest that future use of paired camera stations for research, inventory, or monitoring of elusive species consider staggering the placement of cameras to minimize overexposure events of target species. Further, wildlife managers should consider evaluating seasonal effects (i.e., winter) on overexposure rates in paired camera station sampling designs.
