Ecology of reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Dinosaur National Monument La Ecología de Borrego Cimarron de las Montañas Rocosas Reintroducido en el Monumento Nacional de Dinosaurio

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 223, Issue 1, August 2026.
We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

Understanding mammal avoidance of human settlements

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1504-1517, August 2026.
Terrestrial mammals often avoid human settlements, but is this a result of human activity around buildings or the built infrastructure per se? Using data on animal movement before and during the COVID‐19 lockdowns, this paper disentangles these effects, showing how changes in human mobility affect animals' avoidance of buildings.

Inbreeding and Demographic History of Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Western Canada Inferred From Genome‐Wide SNP Data

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Assessing genetic diversity is essential for conserving endangered populations, yet comprehensive genomic evaluations remain limited for many declining species. Here, we investigated inbreeding levels and effective population sizes (Ne) of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in western Canada, where populations have experienced pronounced declines ...

Combining Disparate Camera‐Trap Surveys: Impacts of Spatial Bias and Design Variation on Large‐Scale Ecological Inference

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Combining camera trap data from multiple surveys has the potential to address large‐scale ecological and conservation questions. But individual surveys can differ substantially in study design and, at the large scale, these surveys typically do not constitute a spatially representative sample.

Environmental and Genetic Determinants of Early‐Life Telomere Length in Tree Swallows

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Early‐life environmental and genetic factors play key roles in shaping the fitness of individuals by influencing life‐history traits. The impact of early life conditions is hypothesized to be reflected at the cellular level on telomere length. In many animal species, telomeres shorten with age and their length early in life is often related to
