Newlavirus, a Novel, Highly Prevalent, and Highly Diverse Protoparvovirus of Foxes (Vulpes spp.)

open access: yesViruses, 2021
The genus Protoparvovirus (family Parvoviridae) includes several viruses of carnivores. We describe a novel fox protoparvovirus, which we named Newlavirus as it was discovered in samples from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

Behaviour as an indicator of cyclic trends in abundance of Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) and snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus)

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Changes in reproduction may be closely linked to population density and often manifest in various behaviours. Thus, variation in behaviours associated with reproduction can provide insights into the mechanisms influencing the distribution and abundance ...

Error rates in wildlife image classification

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
We address the comments made by Thornton et al. (Ecology and Evolution, 2019) in response to our recent article on measuring the agreement among experts in classifying camera images of bobcats and Canada lynx.

Densidad de puma (Puma concolor) y gato montés (Lynx rufus) en la Reserva de la Biosfera Tehuacán-Cuicatlán, México

open access: yesRevista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2021
El puma (Puma concolor) coexiste con el gato montés (Lynx rufus) en la Reserva de la Biosfera Tehuacán-Cuicatlán (RBTC). El puma es el felino de mayor tamaño en el centro de México, por lo que su presencia es un indicador de integridad ecológica ...

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

Sharing the same slope: Behavioral responses of a threatened mesocarnivore to motorized and nonmotorized winter recreation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
Winter recreation is a widely popular activity and is expected to increase due to changes in recreation technology and human population growth. Wildlife are frequently negatively impacted by winter recreation, however, through displacement from habitat ...

Ecological examples of nonstationarity, nonlinearity and statistical interactions in dynamic structural equation models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecologists are adapting structural causal modelling for spatial, phylogenetic and time‐series analysis. However, ecological extensions of path analysis and structural equation models (SEM) typically assume that interactions among variables are stationary, linear and additive, while ecological and evolutionary dynamics are often nonstationary ...

Wolves and lynx: Plausible ideas make for testable hypotheses

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
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 (
