Fence types influence pronghorn movement responses

Two Types of Remnant Movement

This article is concerned with stating and accounting for differences between two types of remnant movement that have been proposed in the literature. Remnant movement is movement of an XP β from which extraction of α has taken place earlier in the derivation; cf. (1). This phenomenon has been argued to support a derivational approach to syntax (cf. Chomsky (1998)): Since remnant movement creat...

Management of Coyotes for Pronghorn?

Comparing Habitat Suitability and Connectivity Modeling Methods for Conserving Pronghorn Migrations

Terrestrial long-distance migrations are declining globally: in North America, nearly 75% have been lost. Yet there has been limited research comparing habitat suitability and connectivity models to identify migration corridors across increasingly fragmented landscapes. Here we use pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) migrations in prairie habitat to compare two types of models that identify habit...

Modeling Fence Location and Density at a Regional Scale for Use in Wildlife Management

Barbed and woven wire fences, common structures across western North America, act as impediments to wildlife movements. In particular, fencing influences pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) daily and seasonal movements, as well as modifying habitat selection. Because of fencing's impacts to pronghorn and other wildlife, it is a potentially important factor in both wildlife movement and habitat se...

Influence of Habitat and Intrinsic Characteristics on Survival of Neonatal Pronghorn

Increased understanding of the influence of habitat (e.g., composition, patch size) and intrinsic (e.g., age, birth mass) factors on survival of neonatal pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is a prerequisite to successful management programs, particularly as they relate to population dynamics and the role of population models in adaptive species management. Nevertheless, few studies have presente...
