The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.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.

Ungulate prey availability to inform Mexican wolf recovery within its historical range
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 2, February 2026.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.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.Capture–recapture (CR) models have been used for decades to estimate population size and demographic rates in natural populations from the monitoring of individuals. One of the most frequent deviations from assumptions required in CR studies is the immediate trap‐dependence that corresponds to the correlation between capture events. We review empirical

Forest harvest and natural stressors compound to reduce juvenile ungulate survival
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.Anthropogenic disturbances, such as forest harvest, create risky landscapes for juveniles by increasing their vulnerability to predation and hunting, and when combined with natural stressors like parasitism, likely drive population declines. Managing landscapes with a species‐centric approach that addresses the cumulative effects of human and natural ...

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Wildlife tourist attractions (WTAs) can permit interactions between humans and wildlife that are detrimental to the animals’ welfare and species conservation. Social media portraying human–wildlife interactions could affect people's perceptions of their acceptability and desirability or stimulate demand for detrimental practices.
