OccuGAMs: Non‐linear occupancy and abundance modelling with imperfect detection
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Hierarchical occupancy and abundance models (HOAMs) have become a leading approach for inferring wildlife population dynamics because they explicitly account for imperfect detection. HOAMs are suitable for sampling approaches that produce detection histories from repeated visits to the same sites, including direct observations (e.g. bird point

Food Subsidies Reduce Livestock Depredations by a Recovering Carnivore
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Diversionary feeding—providing food caches to divert predators away from preying on livestock—is a strategy to reduce depredations by Mexican gray wolves but has not been evaluated for its effectiveness. We used data from the Mexican wolf recovery program from 2014‐2021 to evaluate whether diversionary feeding reduced livestock depredations by wolf ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.
