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 ...

Mallard response to experimental human disturbance on sanctuary areas is mediated by hunting

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife managers often provide spatial sanctuaries for wildlife to escape both lethal (e.g. hunting) and non‐lethal (e.g. non‐consumptive recreation) human disturbance. However, as societal interest in outdoor recreation continues to climb, many areas face added pressure to allow recreation, yet studies increasingly demonstrate negative effects of ...

Drivers of hunter compliance and satisfaction with mandatory harvest reporting

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunter harvest data are important components of game species management and conservation, and natural resource agencies often use self‐reporting mechanisms to collect harvest data. Despite the advantages of self‐reporting systems, hunter noncompliance with mandatory reporting remains a challenge for managers.

Differences in mammal community response to highway construction across different levels of human land use

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Worldwide, transportation agencies have been involved in road mitigation efforts to reduce road mortality and promote connectivity of endangered species. Baseline data on how mammals respond to highway construction, however, are rarely collected in road mitigation and monitoring studies, including in the USA.

Seasonal fine‐scale resource selection of elk in the central Appalachian Mountains

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource selection by animals varies depending on spatial and temporal context, thus it is important to account for these factors when conducting studies that examine this behavior relative to the availability and distribution of resources. Many resource selection studies combine fine‐scale animal location data obtained using global positioning system (
