Survival of reintroduced fishers among differing sympatric predator and prey assemblages
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.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.

Human impacts on mammals in and around a protected area before, during, and after COVID‐19 lockdowns
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 The dual mandate for many protected areas (PAs) to simultaneously promote recreation and conserve biodiversity may be hampered by negative effects of recreation on wildlife. However, reports of these effects are not consistent, presenting a knowledge gap

Assessing potential impacts of black bear predation on neonatal mortality in boreal caribou
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.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.

Tracking cats: problems with placing feline carnivores on δO, δD isoscapes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Several felids are endangered and threatened by the illegal wildlife trade. Establishing geographic origin of tissues of endangered species is thus crucial for wildlife crime investigations and effective conservation strategies. As shown in other species,

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.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 ...

Are pumas subordinate carnivores, and does it matter? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Interspecific competition affects species fitness, community assemblages and structure, and the geographic distributions of species. Established dominance hierarchies among species mitigate the need for fighting and contribute to the realized ...

The Untapped Potential of Food Webs in Systematic Conservation Planning
Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT International conservation policy includes the dual aims of protecting biodiversity and nature's contributions to people (NCP). Achieving these goals requires protecting not only species and habitats but also the networks of biotic interactions that sustain them.
