Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera traps have become an increasingly popular non‐invasive alternative to animal‐attached devices for studying wildlife behaviour. This study compared wolf (Canis lupus) activity patterns derived from collar accelerometers and road‐positioned camera traps and revealed strong overall agreement but also important seasonal and diel mismatches between ...

Plant functional trait diversity regulates the nonlinear response of productivity to regional climate change in Tibetan alpine grasslands [PDF]
, 2016 The biodiversity-productivity relationship is still under debate for alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau. We know little about direct and indirect effects of biotic and abiotic drivers on this relationship, especially in regard to plant functional ...

Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

Snow Height Sensors Reveal Phenological Advance in Alpine Grasslands
Global Change BiologyABSTRACTLong‐term phenological data in alpine regions are often limited to a few locations and thus, little is known about climate‐change‐induced plant phenological shifts above the treeline. Because plant growth initiation in seasonally snow‐covered regions is largely driven by snowmelt timing and local temperature, it is essential to simultaneously ...

Ecosystem Carbon Storage in Alpine Grassland on the Qinghai Plateau
PLOS ONE, 2016 The alpine grassland ecosystem can sequester a large quantity of carbon, yet its significance remains controversial owing to large uncertainties in the relative contributions of climate factors and grazing intensity. In this study we surveyed 115 sites to measure ecosystem carbon storage (both biomass and soil) in alpine grassland over the Qinghai ...

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.

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 ...
