Fin Whale (Balaenoptera physalus) Diel Dive Patterns in a Shallow Fragmented Foraging Habitat

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Using 27 high‐resolution biologging tags deployed on fin whales in a shallow inner‐shelf habitat along the US east coast, this study found that the whales spent more than 67% of their time within the draft depths of large commercial vessels. Feeding occurred primarily during the day, while whales remained very shallow at night during resting and ...

Fecal and vaginal microbiomes of North American Elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni)

, 2023
The North American elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) is a natural reservoir of Brucella abortus, the causative agent of bovine brucellosis. This disease results in abortion and costly reproductive issues, and transmission of B.

Vaccination of elk (Cervus canadensis) with Brucella abortus strain RB51 overexpressing superoxide dismutase and glycosyltransferase genes does not induce adequate protection against experimental Brucella abortus challenge

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2016
In recent years, elk (Cervus canadensis) have been implicated as the source of Brucella abortus infection for numerous cattle herds in the Greater Yellowstone Area.

Compounding effects of cattle, wild ungulates, and beaver impede riparian restoration

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Planting native woody vegetation is a common restoration practice to increase stream shade, an important salmonid habitat recovery strategy in the interior Pacific Northwest (PNW, USA). Herbivory by domestic livestock and wild mammals, a ubiquitous disturbance in PNW riparian zones, is a common barrier to survival and growth of plantings ...

The art of avoidance: bedsite use, antipredator strategies, and predation risk in white‐tailed deer fawns

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
Horizontal visibility, rather than concealment cover, drove fawn bedsite use and predation risk. Greater field of view decreased the odds of coyote predation, likely by facilitated by early detection. As fawns transitioned from hiders to followers, they shifted from using dense overstory concealment to more open overstory that favored improved escape ...

Land use and soil characteristics are associated with increased risk of treponeme‐associated hoof disease in elk

Ecosphere
Environments can shape the occurrence and extent of disease outbreaks in wildlife. We studied the effects of environmental features on the occurrence of treponeme‐associated hoof disease (TAHD), an emerging infectious disease of free‐ranging elk (Cervus ...

Habitat characteristics along spring migration routes of elk, mule deer, and pronghorn in the southern San Juan Mountains

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 7, September 2026.
We evaluated habitat characteristics of spring migration routes and stopover sites for adult female elk (Cervus canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the San Juan Mountains (2021–2022) and found species‐specific differences in vegetation structure, terrain, and proximity to land cover types relative to ...
