You can hear the sound of success in oak savanna restoration. This cool study showed that savanna restoration increased insect biomass which increased insectivorous birds, which led to much louder areas because of the birds singing! I love ecology youtube.com/shorts/_Q04wfXlV…

"Over the past 50 years, populations of bird species that live in open forests and grasslands have fallen by more than 50%." Nesting cover & poult-rearing cover have been identified as major limitations...it all comes back to habitat! #wildturkey #habitat theconversation.com/wild-tur…
Wild turkey numbers are falling in some parts of the US – the main reason may be habitat loss

Wild turkey numbers are falling in some parts of the US – the main reason may be habitat loss

Wild turkeys were overhunted across the US through the early 1900s, but made a strong comeback. Now, though, numbers are declining again. Two ecologists parse the evidence and offer an explanation.

Do red oak acorns affect deer activity? It turns out oaks don't need to be actively dropping to be a hot resource! Check out this study where we demonstrate deer use of red oaks peaking months after they fall from the tree. @DrDisturbance @deerassociation youtu.be/1NYfrqPcVHA
