Estimation of Parental Abundance Using Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling With Data Augmentation
Pedigree accumulation estimators leverage the fact that each offspring in a cohort is genotypically “marked” by its parents and represent a recent and promising toolset for estimating population dynamics. We developed a hierarchical Bayesian pedigree accumulation estimator and compared it to previously evaluated non‐parametric approaches.

Canis STR‐Seq: A Universal Approach for Non‐Invasive Genetic Monitoring of Wolves and Coyotes
We present a new, universal microsatellite genotype‐by‐sequencing assay for Canis species that allows for unambiguous allele calls, flags homoplasy for more accurate assignment tests, and improves genotyping output from low‐template DNA. We suggest, as others have done previously, that microsatellites are still effective, affordable, and sometimes ...

Abstract Mesocarnivores navigate a complex risk–reward continuum in ecosystems shared with their apex counterparts, balancing scavenging opportunities with risks of mortality. However, the risks to mesocarnivores in multi‐carnivore systems are not uniform; they can vary with specific apex–meso pairings.

Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.
