Landscape correlates of reproductive success for an urban-suburban red-tailed hawk population
Article Abstract:
The reproductive success of an urban-suburban red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) population in southeast Wisconsin, USA over a 14-year period is studied using productivity as a measure of habitat quality. Red-tailed hawk productivity, an index of habitat quality, varied with habitat composition surrounding nest sites while the urban-habitat characteristics were greater for high-productivity sites, and the landscapes consisted of smaller habitat patches. This indicates that urban-suburban locations provided high-quality habitat for the red-tailed hawks in the given study area.

Seasonal changes in fecal cortisol metabolites in Pyrenean chamois
Article Abstract:
The seasonal changes in fecal cortisol metabolites (FCM) and fecal nitrogen in Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica) in the Cadi Range of northeastern Spain were examined. A distinct seasonal trend was observed with the highest FCM in winter, although no influence of tourism presence, trophy hunting, or rut season on FCM was seen and hence study of cortisol metabolites in feces provides a good indicator of winter stress in Pyrenean chamois.

Dietary conjugated linoleic acid to control the population of wild bird species considered a pest
Article Abstract:
The effect of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on hatchability of fertile pigeon eggs is investigated to determine the potential for using CLA to control the population of wild bird species that are considered as pests. It is suggested that long-term baiting of wild birds with CLA as the sole diet will be necessary to prevent the hatch of fertile egg without harming the adult bird.
