Every year, Wiley Press, publisher of the Journal of Wildlife Management, provides unrestricted access to the first issue of the magazine’s new volume. The January 2013 issue of JWM is now freely available to all non-subscribers until the January 2014 issue is released. For the first time ever, the journal will contain a special section dedicated to articles on the same topic — density dependence, or the complex and controversial phenomenon in which population growth rates are affected by a population’s density.

Outside of this section, this latest issue of JWM contains research on the effects of habitat management on bobwhites and hares, the use of multi-species occupancy modeling to inform management decisions, and the relationships between hydrology and alligator nesting. Access the issue.
