Delisting the Northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf from the US Endangered Species Act: an assessment of political discourse over 20 years

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Feared, revered, and politicized, wolves have long captured human imagination, and ignited fierce conservation conflicts. In the United States, the Endangered Species Act protects species at risk of extinction from human impacts. This far‐reaching legislation, which impacts development and state‐level wildlife management, has been fraught with legal ...

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Carbon flow to generalist predators shifts between plant‐ and fungal‐derived resources in highly seasonal ecosystems

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using amino acid isotope fingerprinting, Sagi et al. show how Arctic wolf spiders shift between plant‐ and microbe‐based energy sources with changes in body size and plant productivity. This reveals how environmental conditions and consumer traits jointly shape carbon flow and link green and brown food webs in rapidly changing ecosystems.

Take Me Home, Country Roads: Choosing Autonomous EVs Over Personal Aviation

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the potential long‐run effects of autonomous and electric vehicles, and a carbon tax, on personal domestic aviation demand in Australia. We estimate a discrete choice disutility model with two travel modes—car and air—using Australian National Visitor Survey data and Bayesian priors. We use multiplicative Fréchet errors,
