Zebro, L.R., Mrnak, J.T., Shaw, S.L., Chipps, S.R. and Sass, G.G. (2022). Density‐dependent and environmental influences on juvenile walleye Sander vitreus (Mitchill) survivorship in northern Wisconsin lakes. Fisheries Management and Ecology, 29(6), pp.897–910. doi:https://doi.org/10.1111/fme.12591. ‌ \| Abstract	July 2022	Walleye (<i>Sander vitreus</i>) natural recruitment has declined in many populations within the Ceded Territory of Wisconsin (CTWI) over the past twenty years. Using CTWI age-0 and age-1 walleye relative abundance (CPE) data during 1990-2019, we tested for abiotic and biotic (density dependence, cannibalism) factors influencing age-0 to age-1 walleye mortality. Age-0 to age-1 walleye mortality was strongly density-dependent. Juvenile walleye mortality was always elevated at high age-0 CPE and highly variable at low age-0 CPE. Cannibalism effects did not influence age-0 to age-1 walleye mortality. Mixed effects modeling results suggested that age-0 CPE (positive), May surface water temperature (positive), and peak surface water temperature (negative) were the strongest predictors of age-0 to age-1 walleye mortality. Our results suggest that density-dependence and environmental factors influencing spawning and ontogenetic phenology (climate change, variable ice-off dates), trophic mismatches, and metabolic and consumptive demand may dictate age-0 to age-1 walleye mortality. Our results also showed elevated age-0 to age-1 walleye mortality at low age-0 CPE, which supports previous findings of depensatory recruitment dynamics in CTWI walleye populations. Given observed natural recruitment declines observed in CTWI walleye populations over time, stocking has been primarily used to rehabilitate stocks. Our findings suggest that stocking on top of natural recruitment would further increase density-dependent juvenile walleye mortality rates. Additional research is needed to specifically address elevated juvenile walleye mortality at low adult stock sizes and/or with declining natural recruitment to inform conservation management decisions.

In November 2020, a farmer in Edmunds County in north-central South Dakota sent in a video recording of a long-tailed weasel with a spotted skunk carcass. Location of the event, carcass condition, and recorded behavior of the long-tailed weasel offers probable, but unconfirmed, evidence that the spotted skunk was killed by the long-tailed weasel.

Journal of Mammalogy 105(6): 1278–1288. https://doi.org/10.1093/jmammal/gyae063 \| Abstract	June 2024	The plains spotted skunk (<i>Spilogale interrupta</i>) is a small carnivore native to central North America that has experienced significant population reductions, and there is a lack of information about the species that could inform conservation efforts. Our study aimed to address knowledge gaps about the distribution and habitat associations of the species in South Dakota using species distribution modeling. We used species location data collected from state natural resource managers, trappers, and members of hunting and wildlife social groups, environmental predictors, and six predictive modeling algorithms (i.e., artificial neural networks, artificial classification tree analysis, generalized boosting models, maximum entropy, multivariate adaptive regression splines, and random forests) to develop climate and landcover ensemble distribution models. The most important climate and landcover predictors were mean temperature diurnal range and proportion of area classified as pasture. Ensemble model concordance identified approximately 31,300 km<sup>2</sup> of potential plains spotted skunk habitat primarily in eastern South Dakota and between the watersheds of the Missouri and James River. Our results offer insights that can guide conservation efforts and inform effective management strategies for conserving plains spotted skunk populations in the northern Great Plains. The promotion of low-intensity agricultural practices, such as maintaining pastures, farm buildings, and fences rows and the management of woodland encroachment may improve habitat suitability and facilitate the recovery of plains spotted skunks in the region.

Journal of Fish and Wildlife Management 2:1–11. \| Abstract \| Download \| Publisher Website	June 2011	Managed wetlands on public lands in Illinois, United States, provide foraging habitats for migrating and wintering waterfowl. However, few studies have estimated abundances of waterfowl foods in mid-migration regions of North America, yet such information is needed to inform management and conservation decision-making. During 2005–2007, we used a multistage sampling design to estimate moist-soil plant seed production (kg/ha, dry mass) and energetic carrying capacity at sites managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and modeled variation in seed biomass. Average seed biomass among all sites ranged from 1,030.0 ± 64.1 (SE) kg/ha in 2005 to 501.5 ± 124.1 kg/ha in 2007. Our overall estimate (2005–2007) of moist-soil plant seed biomass was precise (691.3 ± 56.4 kg/ha; CV: 8.2%), equaling 5,128 energetic use-days/ha. This value was similar to or slightly greater than previous estimates from other regions of North America and exceeded the estimate used the Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Region Joint Venture for waterfowl conservation planning (514 kg/ha). We formulated eight models to predict abundance of moist-soil plant seeds within sampled wetlands. The best approximating model included the number of desirable plant species within wetlands and study year. The second best model included the categorical effect of management intensity and indicated that, although variable, actively managed wetlands produced about 240 kg/ha more seed than those that were passively managed. As with other regions, wetland management practices that encourage diverse plant communities over monotypes and growth of early successional plants should yield substantial increases in waterfowl food abundances at Illinois Department of Natural Resources sites, especially given that only 27% of our study wetlands were actively managed. Such efforts would also help reduce deficits in energetic carrying capacity identified by the Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Region Joint Venture.

Zool. 102: 207–216 dx.doi.org/10.1139/cjz-2023-0047 \| Abstract	December 2023	Metabolic rate is a key parameter in fish energy budgets that strongly influences the output of bioenergetics models. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that metabolic rate varies with growth history of age-1 largemouth bass. Two groups of fish were fed alternating maintenance or <i>ad libitum</i> rations of fathead minnow, so that<i> </i>over a 9-week period, initial and ending size of fish was similar. After 9 weeks, oxygen consumption was measured using static, closed respirometry. Although final body weight was similar between the two groups (means, 104 to 108 g), specific oxygen consumption for fish fed maintenance rations (0.094 mg O<sub>2</sub> g<sup>-2</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>) was 38% less than that measured for fish fed <i>ad libitum</i> (0.152 mg O<sub>2</sub> g<sup>-2</sup> h<sup>-1</sup>). Bioenergetic estimates of food consumption were similar to observed values for fish fed <i>ad</i> <i>libitum</i> (~7% error), but for fish fed maintenance rations, the model overestimated food consumption by 65%. By accounting for changes in metabolic rate owing to reduced feeding, error in model estimates of food consumption was reduced. These findings shed new insight on factors associated with consumption-dependent error in bioenergetic models and highlight the importance of feeding history on metabolic rate of fish. Incorporating growth-dependent metabolism into bioenergetics models can improve model accuracy and allow fisheries biologists to make more informed decisions regarding fish growth and energetics.

Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 22(4):382-389. \| Abstract	July 2017	Landowner perceptions of conservation programs are highly complex, which complicates recruitment to and satisfaction with available programs. The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) targets high-priority conservation needs (e.g., water quality, wildlife habitat) by paying landowners an annual rental rate to remove environmentally sensitive or agriculturally unproductive lands from rowcrop production and to implement conservation practices on these lands. Herein, we describe the motivations of South Dakota landowners in the James River Basin for enrolling in the CREP. All 517 newly-enrolled landowners were mailed a questionnaire in 2014, measuring participant demographics, behaviors, opinions and motivations (60% response rate). We evaluated ten motivations for enrollment in CREP and used a cluster analysis to identify three unique respondent orientations (wildlife enhancement, financial incentive, and environmental concern). Understanding landowner enrollment decision criteria will advance strategies to increase participation and satisfaction in future platforms.

We used remotely sensed and creel survey data for Devils Lake, ND, USA, from 1992-2019 to develop a waterbody size-angler effort model to understand how future changes in waterbody surface area will impact angler effort. Waterbody surface area reliably predicted changes in angler effort (r<sup>2</sup> = 0.60). Waterbody size-angler effort models could provide managers the ability to predict changes in angler effort via climate-related hydrological cycles that affect the size and distribution of waterbodies on the landscape.

The National Park Service (NPS) monitors status and trends of vital signs to evaluate compliance with the NPS mission. Although abundant, The Southwest Alaska Network (SWAN) monitors bald eagles because of their inherent importance to park visitors and role as an important ecological indicator. Our goal is to identify an optimal monitoring program that may be standardized among participating parks. We gathered an expert panel of scientists and managers, and implemented a Delphi Process to gather information about the bald eagle monitoring program. Panelists generated a list of means objectives for the monitoring program: minimizing cost, minimizing effort, maximizing the ability to detect change in bald eagle populations, and maximizing the amount of accurate information collected about bald eagles. We used a swing-weighting technique to assign importance to each objective. Collecting accurate information about bald eagles was considered the most important means objective. Combining panelist-generated information with objective importance, we analyzed the scenarios and defined the optimal decision using linear value modeling. Through our analysis, we found that a “Comprehensive” monitoring scenario, comprised of all feasible monitoring metrics, is the optimal monitoring scenario. Even with greatly increased cost, the Comprehensive monitoring scenario remains the best solution. We suggest further exploration of the cost and effort required for the Comprehensive scenario, to determine whether it is in the parks’ best interest to begin monitoring additional metrics.

Proceedings of the South Dakota Academy of Science, 97:45-60. \| Abstract	December 2018	Stakeholder information is critical for effective fisheries management. Agencies have traditionally used infrequent mail surveys to collect human dimensions data. Internet surveys provide cost savings but are associated with caution due to data quality issues. To improve study validity, survey access can be controlled using email invitations, but because these addresses are voluntary results may not be applicable to the entire population. Additionally, internet surveys typically have lower response rates than mail surveys, thus a greater potential for nonresponse bias. To address potential coverage and nonresponse biases, internet survey data were compared to mail surveys of anglers not providing an email address, and non-respondents to the internet survey. Internet survey data was similar to both mail surveys for most of the variables measured. Internet survey data would slightly over represent male anglers and younger anglers. Internet surveys relevant to fisheries management can provide data comparable to a mail survey.

Lake and Reservoir Management 26:212-216. \| Abstract \| Download \| Publisher Website	September 2010	Underwater strobe lights can influence the behavior and distribution of fishes and are increasingly used as a technique to divert fish away from water intake structures on dams. However, few studies examine how strobe lights may affect organisms other than targeted species. To gain insight on strobe lighting effects on nontarget invertebrates, we investigated whether underwater strobe lights influence zooplankton distributions and abundance in Lake Oahe, South Dakota. Zooplankton were collected using vertical tows at 3 discrete distances from an underwater strobe light to quantify the influence of light intensity on zooplankton density. Samples were collected from 3 different depth ranges (0–10 m, 10–20 m and 20–30 m) at <1 m, 15 m and ≥100 m distance intervals away from the strobe light. Copepods represented 67.2% and Daphnia spp. represented 23.3% of all zooplankton sampled from 17 August to 15 September 2004. Night time zooplankton densities significantly decreased in surface waters when strobe lights were activated. Copepods exhibited the greatest avoidance patterns, while Daphnia avoidance varied throughout sampling depths. These results indicate that zooplankton display negative phototaxic behavior to strobe lights and that researchers must be cognizant of potential effects to the ecosystem such as altering predator–prey interactions or affecting zooplankton distribution and growth.

Human Dimensions of Wildlife, 19:280-287. \| Abstract \| Download	June 2014	The appeal of cost savings and faster results has fish and wildlife management agencies considering the use of Internet surveys instead of traditional mail surveys to collect information from their constituents. Internet surveys, however, may suffer from differential age-related response rates, potentially producing biased results if certain age groups respond to Internet surveys differently than they do to mail surveys. We examined this concern using data from a mixed-mode angler survey conducted in South Dakota following the 2011 fishing season. Results indicated that young anglers (16–18) had the lowest return rates and senior anglers (65+) had the highest, regardless of survey mode. Despite this consistency in response rates, we note two concerns: 1) lower Internet response rates and 2) different age groups represented by the Internet and mail survey samples differed dramatically. Findings indicate that constituent groups may be represented differently with the use of various survey modes.

Environment Systems and Decisions 40:577-587. DOI: 10.1007/s10669-020-09766-z \| Abstract	March 2020	Due to extensive land conversion over the last century, much of the native prairie pothole ecosystem has been converted to agricultural or other human uses. The prairie pothole ecosystem is found in the northern plains of Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana. Because most of the land in this region is privately owned and used for agricultural production, most impacts to wildlife habitat are the result of decisions by individual landowners. Landowner trust in natural resource management agencies is important for agencies to effectively accomplish their mission. We measured the nature (competence and fairness) and level of trust that western Minnesota landowners have in the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MnDNR) and landowners’ wildlife value orientations (WVO). Landowners rated MnDNR slightly higher in competence than fairness; however, these two dimensions were strongly correlated. We developed a MnDNR trust scale (six items) and a three-cluster model dividing landowners along the MnDNR trust scale, which we named Negative (28%), Neutral (43%), and Positive (29%). We provide evidence supporting the salient values similarity (SVS) model that states people have trust in agencies holding similar values; landowners reporting greater importance for wildlife consideration when making land-use decisions also reported greater trust in the MnDNR. In addition, mutualist landowners had the highest trust in the MnDNR and utilitarian landowners the lowest level of trust, which is opposite of the trust relationship reported for the general public with state wildlife agencies. Based on the SVS model, our results suggest that mutualist landowners perceive greater congruence with MnDNR goals related to wildlife habitat compared to utilitarian landowners.

This study examined mail or internet fishery survey return rates and associated data by license type of South Dakota resident anglers. Junior anglers (ages 16-18; Junior Combination license) had the lowest internet and mail survey return rates (20% and 28%, respectively), followed by adult anglers (ages 19-64; Adult Fishing and Adult Combination licenses;30% and 39%, respectively), and senior anglers (ages 65+; Senior Fishing and Senior Combination licenses;42% and 66%, respectively). The three age groups were significantly different on three email use characteristics (shared email, frequency of use, and comfort level). The primary reason for not responding to the internet survey was not receiving or noticing the email request, and secondarily, being too busy to respond. Although having a relatively low response rate, data collected by the internet compared to follow-up mail surveys of internet non-respondents were similar.

New frontiers in bird migration research. Current Biology, 32(20): R11787-R1199. \| Abstract	October 2022	Bird migrations are impressive behavioral phenomena, representing complex spatiotemporal strategies to balance costs of living while maximizing fitness. The field of bird migration research has made great strides over the past decades, yet fundamental gaps remain. Innovative technologies have sparked a transformation in bird migration research by providing new insights into long-standing questions on a diverse range of topics. Here, we aim to encourage broad discussions and promote future studies by highlighting research fields that are characterized by major knowledge gaps or conflicting evidence, namely the fields of navigation, social learning, individual development, energetics, and conservation. We approach each topic by summarizing the current state of knowledge and provide a future outlook of ideas and state-of-the-art methods to further advance the field.

Animal Biotelemetry 11:6 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40317-022-00313-y \| Abstract	February 2023	One of the most important considerations for acoustic telemetry study designs is detection probability between the transmitter and the receiver. Variation in river conditions and flow regimes among river systems can lead to differences in detection probability between systems. In this study we evaluate the detection probabilities of two acoustic tag models at various distances from stationary receivers, for two different mount designs, at two different tag depths, and across varying wind speed. InnovaSea V16-6H (hereafter V16) and V13-1L (hereafter V13) tags were deployed in the James River, SD at a deep depth of 0.36 m above the benthic surface or at shallow depths of 2.29 m (V16 tag) or 1.98 m (V13 tag) above the benthic surface downstream of stationary receivers at distances of 100, 200, or 300 m. Two receiver mount designs that included a fixed position on bridge pilings in a PVC pipe or in a midriver frame, were used to detect acoustic signals. Tags were deployed for 72 hrs at each location, and hourly detections were summarized and compared to the expected number. We assessed downstream distance, receiver mount design, tag depth, and wind effects on tag detection using Bayesian logistic regression.

DOI 10.1007/s13157-014-0570-x \| Abstract	September 2014	Core sampling is a commonly used method to estimate benthic item density, but little information exists about factors influencing the accuracy and time-efficiency of this method. We simulated core sampling in a Geographic Information System framework by generating points (benthic items) and polygons (core samplers) to assess how sample size (number of core samples), core sampler size (cm2), distribution of benthic items, and item density affected the bias and precision of estimates of density, the detection probability of items, and the time-costs. When items were distributed randomly versus clumped, bias decreased and precision increased with increasing sample size and increased slightly with increasing core sampler size. Bias and precision were only affected by benthic item density at very low values (500 – 1000 items/m2). Detection probability (the probability of capturing ≥1 item in a core sample if it is available for sampling) was substantially greater when items were distributed randomly as opposed to clumped. Taking more small diameter core samples was always more time-efficient than taking fewer large diameter samples. We are unable to present a single, optimal sample size, but provide information for researchers and managers to derive optimal sample sizes dependent on their research goals and environmental conditions.

Nature Ecology and Evolution, 6(11):1733-1741. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-022-01887-9. \| Abstract	November 2022	The ability to freely move across the landscape to track the emergence of nutritious spring green-up (termed ‘green wave surfing’) is key to the foraging strategy of migratory ungulates. Across the vast landscapes traversed by many migratory herds, habitats are being altered by development with unknown consequences for surfing. Using a unique long-term tracking dataset, we found that when energy development occurs within mule deer (<i>Odocoileus hemionus</i>) migration corridors, migrating animals become decoupled from the green wave. During the early phases of a coalbed natural gas development, deer synchronized their movements with peak green-up. But faced with increasing disturbance as development expanded, deer altered their movements by holding up at the edge of the gas field and letting the green wave pass them by. Development often modified only a small portion of the migration corridor but had far-reaching effects on behaviour before and after migrating deer encountered it, thus reducing surfing along the entire route by 38.65% over the 14-year study period. Our study suggests that industrial development within migratory corridors can change the behaviour of migrating ungulates and diminish the benefits of migration. Such disruptions to migratory behaviour present a common mechanism whereby corridors become unprofitable and could ultimately be lost on highly developed landscapes.

Researchers have long hypothesized that social interactions play a key role in many animal migrations, but strong empirical support is scarce except in a few unique systems and species. Here, we aim to catalyze advances in the study of social migrations by synthesizing research across disciplines and providing a framework for understanding why, when, and how social influences shape the many decisions animals make during migration. Integrating research across the fields of social learning and migration ecology will advance our understanding of the complex behavioral phenomena of animal migration and help to inform conservation of animal migrations in a changing world.

Compensatory relationships between age-0 and age-1 walleye in ceded territory of Wisconsin. 58th Annual meeting of the Dakota Chapter American Fisheries Society. Virtual meeting, February 25-28, 2021.	February 2021	Fall lake surveys for larval Walleye (<i>Sander </i><i>vitreus</i>) show a decline in natural recruitment for populations in the northern third (Ceded Territory) of Wisconsin dating back to the early 1980s. Relationships between age-1 mortality and age-0 CPE show that mortality of age-1 Walleye was highly variable at low age-0 abundance. At high age-0 abundance, mortality of age-1 fish was consistently high, implying a compensatory relationship between age-0 abundance and age-1 Walleye mortalit

Stocked Rainbow Trout adaptation to natural prey in Black Hills reservoirs. 57th Annual meeting of the Dakota Chapter American Fisheries Society, Virtual meeting, February 25-28, 2021.	February 2021	We evaluated diets among stocked Rainbow Trout from three small Black Hills reservoirs to examine seasonal diet composition. Temporal changes in stocked Rainbow Trout diets differed by lake, suggesting that adaptation to natural prey items is likely influenced by environmental conditions such as prey availability. Our findings reveal that the ability of hatchery-reared Rainbow Trout to switch to natural prey may be a function of trout size and available prey composition and abundance.

Using Acoustic Telemetry to Determine Seasonal Movement and Residency of Walleye in Lake Sharpe, South Dakota. 154^th Annual Meeting of the American Fisheries Society, Honolulu, Hawai’i.	September 2024	Lake Sharpe is a large reservoir on the Missouri River that is a popular destination for Walleye anglers. However, gillnet catches of Walleyes frequently exhibit high, annual variation prompting concern that catch rate may be poorly related to population abundance. To address this question, we use acoustic telemetry monitor seasonal movement and site fidelity of tagged walleye. Results of this study highlight patterns of fish residency that will be helpful for walleye management and sampling.
