Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer
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.

Blue sheep in Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve prefer alpine grasslands at 3800–4200 m on south‐facing slopes near water resources, favoring areas with low tree cover and dense ground cover, particularly rhododendrons, junipers, and Cyperaceae grasses. Their habitat significantly overlaps with livestock.

The role of hunter education, experience, and regulation on mountain goat harvest patterns in Alaska
We analyzed mountain goat harvest (1998–2019) and follow‐up hunter interview data (2008–2011) collected throughout Alaska in order to understand harvest patterns and inform strategies for reducing female harvest. Overall, female harvest was spatially and temporally variable, while hunter interviews revealed that hunters who unintentionally harvested ...
