Influence of Foraging Effort and Diet on Maternal Energy Stores and Offspring Weaning Mass in Gray Seals (Halichoerus grypus)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Understanding how foraging behavior and diet influences individual reproductive success is a key interest in evolutionary ecology. Using data collected from female gray seals (Halichoerus grypus) at Sable Island, Canada, between 1995 and 2018, we tested the hypothesis that differences in foraging behavior and diet prior to the breeding season ...

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) survival in southwestern Oregon

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 8, November 2026.
We captured and monitored radio‐collared ringtails over 2 years to estimate monthly and annual survival rates. We found that annual survival rates were much higher within forested landscapes in Oregon than for populations in the southwestern United States.

Burrow use by Saharan striped polecat (Poecilictis libyca) in an agricultural area of central Tunisia

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 8, November 2026.
Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.

ISAMUD: an integrated software environment for analysis and management of GPS telemetry data

open access: yes, 2007
GPS technology has certainly represented a revolution for telemetry. Geographic locations (XY coordinates) of collared animals can be obtained from satellites (via VHF/GSM download or directly via ARGOS system), along with other data, such as activity, outside temperature and precision of the localisation.

Heightened threats to small woodland caribou populations in Canada and key considerations for their persistence Menaces pesant sur les petites populations de caribou des bois au Canada et considérations essentielles à leur rétablissement

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 227, Issue 1, November 2026.
Abstract Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus) are one of the most iconic wildlife species in Canada. These large ungulates depend on undisturbed, interconnected assemblages of mature and old‐growth conifer forests for survival, and exhibit life‐history traits typical of K‐selected species (i.e., low reproductive rates, long generation times, and slow ...
