Characterizing trends in human-wildlife conflicts in the American Midwest using wildlife rehabilitation records	2020-09-11		.txt	text/plain	6361	244	37	The purpose of this study was to examine the value of wildlife rehabilitation facility admissions records for informing understanding of local human-wildlife conflicts and wildlife disease trends by 1) identifying the top reasons for admission to this facility, 2) examining how occurrences as measured by admitted cases may fluctuate monthly and across taxa, and 3) analyzing trends in commonly admitted disease cases. To examine how human-wildlife conflict as measured by admissions to this facility may vary seasonally and across taxonomic groups, we assessed changes in mean cases admitted per month via Chi-squared tests. We further examined the top four identified specific causes of admission to the wildlife rehabilitation facility: orphaned, dog attacks, cat attacks, and vehicle strikes. Our study demonstrates the value of wildlife rehabilitation records for characterizing local human-wildlife conflicts and potentially select disease trends, as well as how occurrences may fluctuate seasonally and impact taxa differently.	./cache/cord-351098-x729wpp7.txt	./txt/cord-351098-x729wpp7.txt
