Predicted genetic consequences of alternative population control strategies for North American plains bison in Yellowstone National Park

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Management of bison in Yellowstone National Park under the available strategies that maintained ≥3,500 individuals (1:1 sex ratio), removed <40% of the population at a time and prioritized relatives for removal were predicted to maintain genetic variation at levels consistent with long‐term conservation (>95% of existing variation).

Migration, movements, and survival in a partially migratory elk (Cervus canadensis) population

Conservation Science and Practice
Migration provides an adaptive strategy to improve fitness by allowing individuals to exploit gradients of resources and changes in predation risk.

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Impacts of residential development on ungulates in the Rocky Mountain West

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Rural residential development in the Rocky Mountain West of North America is resulting in increased conflict between ungulate habitat and infrastructure.

A Multispecies Systematic and Critical Review of Intranasal Administration in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Emergency Care: Promising Evidence and Overlooked Challenges

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This review evaluates the clinical potential and limitations of intranasal (IN) drug administration in veterinary anaesthesia and emergency care. IN delivery can provide clinically relevant sedation, analgesia and drug reversal, but its success is not universally reliable and is strongly influenced by species‐specific anatomy, formulation ...

The King in the Crosshairs: Evidence of a Predation Attempt on European Bison by Wolves

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
To our knowledge, we present the first video‐recorded evidence of wolves attacking a European bison herd in the BPF. The European bison, often referred to as the king of the forest, is generally described as a non‐prey species, but historical data and our recent documented observation provide clear evidence that they can be subjected to wolf predation.

Effects of selective harvest on antler size of white‐tailed deer in Texas, USA

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 222, Issue 1, June 2026.
We conducted 20 years of experiments on the selective harvest of white‐tailed deer by antler size, judged inferior, in 2 areas of South Texas, USA. Selective harvest increased the phenotypic antler size of older males in one study area but not the other. There was little evidence of evolution resulting from selective harvesting. Abstract There has been

Juvenile predation overwhelms nutritional effects on female ungulate fat reserves in a high‐predation system

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1578-1586, June 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ungulate body fat reserves reflect the nutritional environment, often serving as a useful indicator of bottom‐up resource availability. However, body fat reserves also integrate energetic costs associated with avoiding predation risk and reproductive effort, and it is ...

Eco‐evolutionary dynamics of partially migratory metapopulations in spatially and seasonally varying environments

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 936-951, June 2026.
Partial seasonal migration is rarely considered in a metapopulation context. Here, Haaland et al. use an eco‐evolutionary model revealing how partially migratory metapopulations may arise and be maintained, and how seasonal migrants may cause effects of local extreme climatic events to percolate through metapopulations across diverging temporal and ...
