(“Noninvasive camera data and spatial capture–recapture models reveal strong temporal variation in fawn survival,” Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 4, Article e4497; doi: 10.1002/ecs2.4497) deployed 180 cameras throughout the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge and the Big Cypress National Preserve. The authors were able to identify 271 fawns, such as the one shown here traveling with its mother through a cypress dome in the Big Cypress National Preserve. They used the camera data to create a dataset for a spatial capture–recapture analysis that revealed differences in survival to 180 days between fawns born in 2015 and those born in 2016. Their data suggest that extreme weather events likely contributed to lower recruitment in south Florida, USA. Photo credit: the authors. Volume14, Issue5May 2023e4123 RelatedInformation
