Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.

Diameter thresholds for distinguishing between red wolf and other canid scat
Differentiation between scats of sympatric canid species is important for determining species‐specific presence and movements, but distinction in the field is difficult.

Patterns and Determinants of Mortality in Grey Wolves (Canis lupus)
This systematic review reveals the global patterns and drivers of grey wolf mortality, highlighting the high mortality risk associated with human coexistence for this cursorial carnivore, and reshaping previous knowledge to guide management and conservation strategies.

Perspectives on wildlife agency mange management in black bears and other carnivores
Wildlife professionals across 17 states shared insights on sarcoptic mange management in black bears and other carnivores. Findings reveal shared priorities for dispatching severely affected individuals, support for public reporting, and a desire for coordinated messaging, improved stakeholder engagement, and centralized data systems to strengthen long‐

We used an individual‐based movement method, supported by camera trap data, to assess changes in neonate caribou mortality patterns before and after wolf reduction began in the Itcha‐Ilgachuz mountain caribou subpopulation range, British Columbia, Canada.

We investigated low American oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus) productivity in the Virginia barrier islands, which historically supported high oystercatcher reproductive success. We found that chick survival was lower than nest survival, and that management may need to adapt to address evolving threats from coastal flooding and a multi‐guild ...

Ungulate prey availability to inform Mexican wolf recovery within its historical range
We estimated the potential ecological carrying capacity for the Mexican wolf based exclusively on ungulate prey biomass estimated from camera trap surveys. In the United States, the potential density estimate is high (21.4–52.7 wolves/1,000 km2) owing to the presence and relatively high densities of elk, mule deer, and white‐tailed deer.

First Pediatric Case of Tularemia after a Coyote Bite
Bite-transmitted tularemia is a rare event in humans and most of the cases have been associated with cat bites. We report the first pediatric case of tularemia caused by a coyote (Canis latrans) bite.
