Introduction
Meghan Keating is a PhD candidate studying urban carnivore space use and survival. Her current work focuses on the long-term effects of development and rodenticide use on isolated island bobcat populations in the southeastern US. Her master's work focused on the ecological drivers of mule deer movement in the Mojave Desert Preserve. Meghan has also participated in research at USGS's Western Ecological Research Center looking at predator-prey interactions and space-use.

Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) are an effective tool used to suppress rodent populations in urban and agricultural settings to reduce human disease risk and economic loss, but widespread use has resulted in adverse effects on predators globally. Attention has largely been focused on impacts of ARs on raptors, although there is increasing evidence...
We examined Henslow’s Sparrow (Centronyx henslowii) response to prescribed fire at 32 grasslands at Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge in southeastern Indiana from 1999 to 2009. We burned grasslands in the spring between 1999 and 2007 and monitored Henslow’s Sparrows for up to 4 yr after treatment. We used linear mixed models to analyze our data. He...
Nest predation is the main cause of nest failure for ducks. Understanding how habitat features influence predator movements may facilitate management of upland and wetland breeding habitats that reduces predator encounter rates with duck nests and increases nest survival rates. For 1618 duck nests, nest survival increased with distance to phragmite...
