Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

Behavioral response of moose Alces alces to summer heat stress
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Minnesota moose are heat‐stressed during summers, which is adversely impacting their survival. We used both movement and activity data to explore the behavioral responses of Minnesota moose experiencing heat stress, termed ‘hot moose events' or HMEs, to understand how both ambient temperature and available habitat contribute to the ability of these ...

Road mortality mitigation for red wolves requires a landscape approach
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.In 1980, the red wolf Canis rufus was declared extinct in the wild. However, starting in 1987, a captive breeding program allowed for a reintroduction effort in and around Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (Alligator River NWR), North Carolina, USA. In 2012 the wild red wolf population peaked at about 120 individuals.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos is a common species throughout North America. Crows play a role in the ecology of multiple diseases and a single laboratory experiment has shown the potential for crows to pass infectious prions, such as those associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD), in their feces after being force‐fed with infected material ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Predator control is a widely used management tool worldwide to reduce the impact of opportunistic predatory species, but in some contexts where predators are controlled to reduce negative impacts on game species, there are concerns about the selectivity and efficiency.

Development of a reliable PCR‐based protocol for molecular sexing of king vultures Sarcoramphus papa
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The king vulture Sarcoramphus papa is a large Neotropical scavenger that lacks external sexual dimorphism, complicating demographic, ecological, and conservation studies. Reliable sex identification is therefore essential, particularly for wild and managed populations. In this study, we assessed and optimized a PCR‐based molecular sexing protocol for S.
