Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

Home range and core area characteristics of urban and rural coyotes and red foxes in southern Wisconsin

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

Who's the boss? Understanding the spatial relationship between snow leopard and Eurasian lynx in southern Mongolia

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Interspecific competition, a fundamental ecological process characterized by negative interactions between species, plays a vital role in shaping ecological communities. Despite the co‐occurrence of the snow leopard Panthera uncia and the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx across vast landscapes in Asia, their interactions remain poorly understood. In this study,

Winter browsing by moose (Alces alces) in a forested mountainous landscape of west–central Sweden

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Browsing ecology involving ungulates and their food resource is complex as consumption may reflect responses to various factors, such as quantity and quality of browse species. This study investigated winter browsing by moose Alces alces in a mountainous landscape of west–central Sweden, characterized by Norway spruce Picea abies production forests ...
