Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.
