Effect of tooth removal on recaptures of Raccoons
Article Abstract:
A mark-recapture analysis was done on raccoons (Procyon lotor) in northern Indiana, U.S., to determine the influence of tooth extractions on recapture probabilities of individuals. The empirical outcomes demonstrate that tooth extraction can be used as an effective management technique without differentiating between population estimates or compromising other management aims.

Flight behavior of black and turkey vultures: Implications for reducing bird-aircraft collisions
Article Abstract:
Information concerning the flight behavior of black and turkey vultures is examined. The findings indicate that the mid-air collisions with these vultures regularly cause substantial damage to military and civilian aircrafts and any information regarding their flight behavior can reduce the damage.

A hierarchical analysis of habitat selection by raccoons in Northern Indiana
Article Abstract:
The results from examination of seasonal habitat selection of 55 adult raccoons at 3 hierarchical orders defined by the movement behavior suggest that raccoon distribution and abundance in fragmented landscapes are dependent on habitats associated with forest within the landscape.
