Cryptic disease-induced mortality may cause host extinction in an apparently stable host- parasite system [PDF]
The decline of wildlife populations due to emerging infectious disease often shows a common pattern: the parasite invades a naive host population, producing epidemic disease and a population decline, sometimes with extirpation.

Distance of movement in three threatened butterfly species
Multi‐year mark–recapture analysis using net displacement and Cormack–Jolly–Seber models shows similar daily detectability (0.17–0.22) among species, supporting robust interspecific comparisons. Dispersal kernels differ: lognormal best for Euphydryas aurinia and Parnassius apollo, exponential for Phengaris arion; P.

Age‐specific survival of reintroduced swift fox in Badlands National Park and surrounding lands
In 2003, a reintroduction program was initiated at Badlands National Park (BNP), South Dakota, USA, with swift foxes (Vulpes velox) translocated from Colorado and Wyoming, USA, as part of a restoration effort to recover declining swift fox populations ...

Survival and abundance of polar bears in Alaska’s Beaufort Sea, 2001–2016
The Arctic Ocean is undergoing rapid transformation toward a seasonally ice‐free ecosystem. As ice‐adapted apex predators, polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are challenged to cope with ongoing habitat degradation and changes in their prey base driven by food‐

Abstract Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, migrate through multiple habitat types, each having the potential to impact differently upon migration success. The inshore marine coastal zone is arguably disproportionately impacted by potential stressors on populations.

Flatback turtles Natator depressus are endemic to Australia and Papua New Guineaís tropical oceans and, although the species has an extensive distribution around northern Australia, there are few published long-term abundance trends of nesting ...

Wildlife pedigrees provide insights into ecological and evolutionary processes. DNA obtained from noninvasively collected hair is often used to determine individual identities for pedigrees and other genetic analyses.

The Eurasian crane (Grus grus), a symbol of conservation success in Europe, has made an impressive recovery. However, our results show that over the study period, juvenile survival declined by almost 30% overall, while sub‐adults experienced a smaller decrease, and adults showed no change.

The global conservation status of Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) was last assessed in 1996. The species presents particular difficulty in monitoring because it can be cryptic, require expertise to handle, and caudal tail tags and transmitters are
