The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

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.

Optimizing fecal DNA collection and storage techniques for noninvasive genetic sampling of river otters

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
This study compared 2 non‐invasive DNA collection methods for river otters and found that fecal swabbing consistently outperformed DETs buffer storage across both temperate and tropical environments. Swabbing yielded higher PCR and genotyping success rates while reducing genotyping errors, particularly when sampling anal jelly in tropical conditions ...

Harnessing 50 years of tick population genetics: Choosing the right molecular tool for contemporary research

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting
