We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...

Management of wolf and lynx conflicts with human interests [PDF]
In many areas viable populations of large carnivores are political goals. One of the most important factors in order to achieve viable large carnivore populations is human tolerance for presence of large carnivores.

Inference for Differential Equation Models using Relaxation via Dynamical Systems
Statistical regression models whose mean functions are represented by ordinary differential equations (ODEs) can be used to describe phenomenons dynamical in nature, which are abundant in areas such as biology, climatology and genetics. The estimation of

Survival of reintroduced fishers among differing sympatric predator and prey assemblages
We examined how predator and prey occurrence and relative abundance influenced survival rates in reintroduced fisher (Pekania pennanti) populations in the southern and northern Cascade Mountains, Washington, USA, and found lower fisher survival in the north than in the south.

Wolves and lynx: Plausible ideas make for testable hypotheses
We recently wrote an opinion piece (Ripple et al. 2011) hypothesizing that the presence of wolves (Canis lupus) could indirectly benefit Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) by suppressing competition with coyotes (Canis latrans). Subsequent comments by Hodges (

Life and death in wolverines [PDF]
Developing trustworthy conservation planning for endangered species requires a deep understanding of the variations of their populations in both space and time.

Moving forward in circles: challenges and opportunities in modelling population cycles [PDF]
Population cycling is a widespread phenomenon, observed across a multitude of taxa in both laboratory and natural conditions. Historically, the theory associated with population cycles was tightly linked to pairwise consumer–resource interactions and ...

Assessing potential impacts of black bear predation on neonatal mortality in boreal caribou
We used simulations to show that even if caribou give birth in areas with the least chance of encountering a black bear, there are so many bears on the landscape that predation risk for caribou calves can still be quite high. Bear densities used in our simulation were typical for the boreal forest.

Early-type Galaxies at z ~ 1.3. III. On the Dependence of Formation Epochs and Star Formation Histories on Stellar Mass and Environment [PDF]
We study the environmental dependence of stellar population properties at z ~ 1.3. We derive galaxy properties (stellar masses, ages, and star formation histories) for samples of massive, red, passive early-type galaxies (ETGs) in two high-redshift ...

Landscape policy and management should mitigate habitat loss in anthropogenically disturbed landscapes but also consider resulting configurations from development. Complex ecological impacts are not well represented in the simple quantitative measures of disturbance currently employed: managing both composition and configuration is necessary to ...
