Cryptic disease-induced mortality may cause host extinction in an apparently stable host- parasite system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
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.

Survival and abundance of polar bears in Alaska’s Beaufort Sea, 2001–2016

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
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‐

Inshore marine coastal zone migration patterns in Atlantic salmon post‐smolts emigrating from eight rivers in north‐east Scotland

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
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.

Estimating long-term trends in abundance and survival for nesting flatback turtles in Kakadu National Park, Australia

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2017
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 ...

Age‐specific, population‐level pedigree of wild black bears provides insights into reproduction, paternity, and maternal effects on offspring apparent survival

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
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.

Age‐Specific Survival Estimation of a Eurasian Crane Population Highlights a Long‐Term Decline in Juvenile Survival

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
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.

Challenges and opportunities for monitoring wild Nile crocodiles with scute mark-recapture photography

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2018
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
