Evaluation of camera placement for detection of free‐ranging carnivores; implications for assessing population changes

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, 2020
1. Introduced carnivores are often cryptic, making it difficult to quantify their presence in ecosystems, and assess how this varies in relation to management interventions. Survey design should thus seek to improve detectability and maximize statistical

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]

, 2019
The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Methods to estimate distribution and range extent of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2014
The distribution of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) population has expanded into areas unoccupied since the early 20th century. Up‐to‐date information on the area and extent of this distribution is crucial for federal, state,
