The impact of climate change on the structure of Pleistocene mammoth steppe food webs

open access: yes, 2013
Species interactions shape predator-prey networks, impacting community structure and, potentially, ecological dynamics. It is likely that global climatic perturbations that occur over long periods of time have a significant impact on species interactions

Variability in the movement and foraging behaviour of female Eurasian lynx during the denning season across Europe

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Animal movement and reproductive behaviour are crucial components of ecological and evolutionary processes. After parturition, the behaviour of reproducing females adapts to the needs of their offspring, including thermoregulation, protection and food provisioning.

Use of LiDAR to examine habitat selection by incubating female wild turkeys in South Carolina

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
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

Multi-species genetic connectivity in a terrestrial habitat network

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2017
Background Habitat fragmentation reduces genetic connectivity for multiple species, yet conservation efforts tend to rely heavily on single-species connectivity estimates to inform land-use planning.

Detection of time reversibility in time series by ordinal patterns analysis

open access: yes, 2018
Time irreversibility is a common signature of nonlinear processes, and a fundamental property of non-equilibrium systems driven by non-conservative forces.

Interannual breeding site fidelity in eastern wild turkey flocks

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue S1, December 2025.
Individual female wild turkeys tend to use the same breeding season space as other female wild turkeys that lived within 7.5 km, both in the same year and in different years. This means that landscape management for wild turkeys should take into account that conservation actions taken on a landscape could have multi‐generational impacts for wild ...

Seasonal patterns of habitat use by a mesopredator in boreal forest landscapes fragmented by fire

open access: yesEcosphere
Wildfire is the most impactful disturbance regime in the North American boreal region, driving the structure and composition of forests across the region.

Ecological thresholds and large carnivores conservation: Implications for the Amur tiger and leopard in China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The ecological threshold concept describes how changes in one or more factors at thresholds can result in a large shift in the state of an ecosystem. This concept focuses attention on limiting factors that affect the tolerance of systems or organisms and

Can restoring wolves aid in lynx recovery?

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Herein, we examine the hypothesis that relatively low densities of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) and the imperiled status of lynx (Lynx canadensis) may be partially due to an ecological cascade caused by the extirpation of gray wolves (Canis lupus ...

Killing for Trophies: An Analysis of Global Trophy Hunting Trade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
As the trophy hunting industry has grown over the last few decades, governments, conservationists, and animal welfare advocates are keen to understand its global economic and conservation impacts with data as supporting evidence.
