Survival of postfledging grassland birds in missouri
Kimberly M. Suedkamp Wells,Mark R. Ryan,Joshua J. Millspaugh,Frank R. Thompson,Michael W. Hubbard +4 more
TL;DR: Predation was the largest source of cause-specific mortality for both species and responsible for 56% (Dickcissels) and 70% (meadowlarks) of deaths and the importance of body condition on postfledging survival is emphasized.

Effects of radio-transmitters on fecal glucocorticoid levels in captive dickcissels
Kimberly M. Suedkamp Wells,Brian E. Washburn,Joshua J. Millspaugh,Mark R. Ryan,Michael W. Hubbard +4 more
TL;DR: Although transmitter-equipped birds showed elevated fecal glucocorticoid levels, the response was acute and returned to baseline levels within 48 hr, and a significant interaction between transmitter attachment and time since attachment was observed.
Movements of Translocated and Resident Three-toed Box Turtles
TL;DR: Evaluated Three-Toed Box Turtle movements before and after translocation from a continuously forested site to a highly fragmented site and made comparisons to resident turtles found translocated turtles traveled greater total distances, had greater net displacement, and greater home-range size than resident turtles.

Wild turkey poult survival in southcentral Iowa
TL;DR: Biologists are suggested to conduct 4-week flush counts to obtain poult survival estimates for use in population models and development of harvest recommendations and if mortality agents are not of concern.

Effects of radiotransmitters on fecal glucocorticoid metabolite levels of three‐toed box turtles in captivity
TL;DR: The results suggested that radiotransmitter attachment did not significantly increase fecal glucocorticoid metabolite levels in adult three-toed box turtles; however, the study was conducted in captivity and sample sizes were small, so more research is needed to assess potential effects of Radiotransmitters on turtles in the wild.
