Data‐free speculation does not make for testable hypotheses: A reply to Ripple et al.
The role of top predators in structuring ecosystems is receiving substantial attention from ecologists. Ripple et al. (2011) recently posed a tentatively supported hypothesis that wolves (Canis lupus) may help restore populations of the U.S.

Combining Multiple Time Series Models Through A Robust Weighted Mechanism
Improvement of time series forecasting accuracy through combining multiple models is an important as well as a dynamic area of research. As a result, various forecasts combination methods have been developed in literature. However, most of them are based

The Untapped Potential of Food Webs in Systematic Conservation Planning
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.

SiMPL Wildlife Magnets: A Camera Trap Tool for Detecting All Creatures Great and Small
The SiMPL wildlife magnet offers an affordable, non‐invasive solution for passive wildlife monitoring of a diverse array of large and small mammals. Our case study in the White Mountains of New Hampshire demonstrates the tool's effectiveness in enhancing species diversity captured within a community using remote cameras.

Human impacts on mammals in and around a protected area before, during, and after COVID‐19 lockdowns
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

Tracking cats: problems with placing feline carnivores on δO, δD isoscapes. [PDF]
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,

Use of LiDAR to examine habitat selection by incubating female wild turkeys in South Carolina
We evaluated how spatially explicit LiDAR‐derived estimates of forest structure and topographical features influenced selection by female eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) during the incubation period. Female wild turkeys selected for incubation recess locations in pine (Pinus spp.) forests with an average basal area of ~14m2/ha and
