Suitable habitat of Himalayan wolf in Upper Mustang, Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Decades ago, the Himalayan wolf Canis lupus chanco, a genetically distinct sub‐species of the gray wolf Canis lupus, faced persecution by local communities in the Nepalese Himalayas. Recently, wolf populations have returned and recolonized, sparking concerns about conflicts over livestock depredation, and emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive ...

Den ecology of Octopus vulgaris Cuvier, 1797, on soft sediment: availability and types of shelter
Scientia Marina, 2004 To avoid predation, octopuses select and actively modify shelters (also called dens) in the substratum, where they remain most of the time, especially during daylight hours. The main questions that this study deals with are: Is den availability a significant constraint for the distribution of Octopus vulgaris on soft sediment? What kind of dens does O.

Ecological Footprint: Informative and evolving – A response to van den Bergh and Grazi (2014)
Ecological Indicators, 2015 Abstract Ecological Footprint accounting is used to track human demand on the Earth's biological resource flows, and compares that demand with the Earth's capacity to generate these flows. It is an evolving tool which has undergone many improvements alongside advancements in science and in response to critical review. Here we respond to van den Bergh

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Long‐term population monitoring is fundamental to wildlife population management. Furbearer populations are often surveyed using multiple methods, but many estimates of their abundance, especially abundance indices, do not account for detection error, and lead to conflicting interpretations of population trends.

New to town: home range size, habitat selection and behavioral adaptations by urban hares
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.European hares Lepus europaeus have recently been shown to colonize urban areas in different parts of Europe. This appears to be a novel phenomenon, and little is known about the space use and behavioral adaptations of hares living in urban areas. Here, we describe the first findings concerning home range sizes from GPS‐collared hares (n = 3) in Aarhus

Historische Ökologie im und um den Wald | Historical ecology of forests [PDF]
Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur Forstwesen, 2003 Historical ecology addresses the ecological consequences of historical changes in the relationship man-environment. In this paper we show how this interdisciplinary approach produces knowledge of theoretical and practical relevance. Examples are given from projects about the development of artificial regeneration practice in Canton Zurich, the ...

DENNING ECOLOGY IN SYMPATRIC POPULATIONS OF SKUNKS (SPILOGALE GRACILIS AND MEPHITIS MEPHITIS) IN WEST-CENTRAL TEXAS [PDF]
Journal of Mammalogy, 2006 We examined den-site selection patterns for western spotted skunks (Spilogale gracilis) and striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) co-occurring in mesquite brushland of Tom Green County, Texas. Sixteen S. gracilis and 14 M. mephitis were radiocollared to locate den sites from October 2001 through June 2003.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Urban greenspaces are a haven for wildlife in densely populated cities. Wildlife use greenspaces for resource acquisition, shelter, and travel across urbanized landscapes. Greenspace metrics such as herbaceous or woody landcover, size, patchiness, and human land use influence species richness.
