Social fitness apps are a great way to track trail use in and around cities. But researchers are now using them to determine the wildlife activity that isn’t happening when people are out recreating. In the featured article for this issue, researchers found that several species changed their behavior around high-use trails on Mount Tamalpais in California’s Bay Area. The shift could affect the way that predators and prey interact in these areas.
Other articles look at the spread of CWD prions at deer feeders, rodenticides in fisher (Pekania pennant) populations, human disturbance effects on sea otters (Enhydra lutris), newt conservation in Iran and more.
