Evaluating the impact of hunter access and harvest regulations on elk movement and resource selection

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We estimated daily probabilities of female elk transitioning between hunter access strategies during 4 periods of the fall hunting season in the Devil's Kitchen study area in central Montana, USA, 2020‐2023. Elk generally avoided harvest risk by selecting for less hunter access and more restrictive harvest regulations.

Optimised Internet of Thing framework based hybrid meta‐heuristic algorithms for E‐healthcare monitoring

open access: yesIET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Everything can be connected in the Internet of Things (IoTs) technology that enables efficient communication between connected objects. IoTs industry‐based meta‐heuristic and mining algorithms, which are considered an important field of Artificial Intelligence will be used to construct a healthcare application in this study for lowering costs,

Experimental Modal Analysis‐Driven Gaussian Process Regression Modeling of Rectangular Steel Beams With Various Hole Geometries

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the dynamic behavior of structural components is crucial for optimizing performance and ensuring structural integrity. This study presents a new method that combines a systematic experimental investigation of four distinct hole geometries (circular, square, compact rectangular, and long rectangular) with varying hole counts, all ...

Joint power control and user grouping mechanism for efficient uplink non‐orthogonal multiple access‐based 5G communication: Utilising the Lèvy‐flight firefly algorithm

open access: yesIET Networks, EarlyView., 2023
We utilise a metaheuristic optimisation method, inspired by nature, called the Lévy‐flight firefly algorithm (LFA), to tackle the power regulation and user grouping in the NOMA systems. Abstract The non‐orthogonal multiple access strategies have shown promise to boost fifth generation and sixth generation wireless networks' spectral efficiency and ...

Hair of the dog: Obtaining samples from coyotes and wolves noninvasively

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2011
Canids can be difficult to detect and their populations difficult to monitor. We tested whether hair samples could be collected from coyotes (Canis latrans) in Texas, USA and gray wolves (C. lupus) in Montana, USA using lure to elicit rubbing behavior at

The impact of climate change on the structure of Pleistocene mammoth steppe food webs

open access: yes, 2013
Species interactions shape predator-prey networks, impacting community structure and, potentially, ecological dynamics. It is likely that global climatic perturbations that occur over long periods of time have a significant impact on species interactions

Not just ‘super‐predators': human behaviour shapes wildlife behavioural responses across avoidance, tolerance and attraction

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Humans are thought to have a disproportionately negative impact on wildlife and are viewed by some as the ultimate ‘super predator'. This view implies that wild animals perceive humans primarily as predators. However, a growing body of evidence shows that wildlife can have remarkable tolerance for, or even attraction to, humans.

Frugivory‐mediated trophic cascades: how apex predators can shape the recruitment of a fleshy‐fruited tree

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The recovery of large carnivores offers unique opportunities to study their cascading impacts on plant population dynamics. Medium‐sized carnivores, both prey and seed dispersers, are suppressed by apex predators, indirectly increasing seed‐eating rodent's populations and potentially altering plant establishment.

Gray wolf breeders are more vulnerable to harvest during the breeding season

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin
In cooperatively breeding carnivores, breeders are vital to perpetuating the group; the death or removal of an individual breeder can greatly affect group composition, genetic content, and short‐term population growth.

Revisiting and revitalizing political ecology in the American West [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Political ecology, initially conceived to better understand the power relations implicit in management and distribution of natural resources in the developing world, came “home” to the American West in the 1990s and 2000s.
