Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Most ungulate populations are regulated by hunting, and harvest rate is regulated through quotas and hunting season duration. Hunting is well known to affect behaviour of ungulates, but how annual variation in quotas and hunting season duration affects individual behaviour remains uncertain.

Dusky grouse seasonal resource selection in the Great Basin isolated mountain ranges of Nevada, USA
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus are a montane forest grouse species with a paucity of information regarding their temporal and spatial resource use during critical times of high mortality and reproductive output. This lack of vital data may leave dusky grouse at risk of sub‐optimal management in many areas of their distribution, especially in the ...

Field test of assumptions for using line transect distance sampling on rock ptarmigan
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Reliable population estimates are essential for the management of harvested species. Line transect distance sampling using pointing dogs is an established survey method for willow ptarmigan and has also been proposed for the monitoring of rock ptarmigan.
