ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

During an outbreak of 7 wildfires in eastern Oregon, USA, we analyzed the home range and movement patterns of mule deer and elk before, during, and immediately after wildfires. Mule deer maintained high site fidelity during the wildfire but used their home range more uniformly and had higher daily displacement than deer unaffected by wildfire.

Cougar density on the Oregon Coast: Using dead recovery modeling in an open population
The primary objective of this study was to determine cougar density in western Oregon. Our results demonstrate that integrating DNA collected via bio‐darting, mandatory hunter‐harvest check‐ins, and GPS collar data into the OPCR2 is a reliable method for estimating cougar densities in densely forested coastal systems.

Evaluating novel attachment methods for tracking devices on terrestrial mammals
We deployed GNSS tracking devices on 2 endangered large terrestrial mammals, scimitar‐horned oryx and Przewalski's horses, using novel attachment methods. Tags achieved fix success rates and spatial accuracy that compare well with standard collars used on large mammals.

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin
Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.
