Operative temperature reduces habitat space for Northern bobwhites
Article Abstract:
The thermal fragmentation of habitat space for northern bobwhites in a subtropical-subhumid portion of Texas during Jun 1994 to Aug 1995 was evaluated. Results showed that bobwhites avoided habitat space-time with temperatures above 39 degrees C. This suggested that large portions of the randomly available thermal environment may be intolerable to bobwhites during warmer seasons in semiarid-subtropical environments. It was implied that habitat management that fosters lower operative temperatures near the ground may increase the abundance of bobwhites in these environments.

Quantifying usable space for wildlife with use-availability data
Article Abstract:
A metric for estimation of the quantity of usable space for wildlife on an area of interest with use-availability data is proposed. The metric and derivations from it provide information for better understanding the field behavior of wildlife, planning habitat management, and estimating population response to habitat management.
