Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Assessing the accuracy of field‐based versus laboratory methods for determining the age of roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Accurate age determination in roe deer Capreolus capreolus is essential for selective harvesting and informed population management, yet field‐based methods widely used by hunters remain imprecise. This study compared field‐based and laboratory age determination methods in 204 harvested roe deer, categorized by sex and habitat type (forest versus open ...

Hunting as anthropogenic sink of biomass or source of carrion? A brief case study based on German hunting bags

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dead biomass is a crucial nutrient source for ecosystems. Although hunting residues can subsidize numerous scavenging organisms and are known to drive important zoogeochemical processes at very different scales in the ecosystem, this has received little attention.

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

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 ...

A literature‐based framework for anticipating golden jackal Canis aureus colonisation: insights from Europe and a Swiss case study

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The expansion of the golden jackal Canis aureus in Europe, caused mainly by habitat fragmentation, climate change and the decline of large carnivores until half a century ago, poses emerging challenges for newly colonised regions. With the arrival of a new species, potential effects on local animal communities, hunting, livestock husbandry or the ...
