Sexually dimorphic aggression indicates male gray wolves specialize in pack defense against conspecific groups [PDF]

, 2017
Aggression directed at conspecific groups is common among gregarious, territorial species, and for some species such as gray wolves (Canis lupus) intraspecific strife is the leading cause of natural mortality.

Forensic Hydraulic Analysis of Floodplain Connectivity Driven by Historical Beaver Dams in Colorado Headwater Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

No difference in the food composition between wolf × dog hybrids and wolves in Poland

Global Ecology and Conservation
Anthropogenic hybridization between wild and domesticated forms of the same species is a significant concern in conservation biology. This problem is especially important for the gray wolf (Canis lupus), which hybridizes with the domestic dog (C.

Data from: Postcranial diversity and recent ecomorphic impoverishment of North American gray wolves

, 2017
Recent advances in genomics and palaeontology have begun to unravel the complex evolutionary history of the gray wolf, Canis lupus. Still, much of their phenotypic variation across time and space remains to be documented.

Evaluation of cold joint effects on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of three‐dimensional printed concrete specimen

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract 3D concrete printing (3DCP) is an automated construction technique that uses an extrusion process to fabricate structures efficiently. However, the layer‐by‐layer process can create interlayer weaknesses, and interruptions during printing can result in cold joints, which can negatively affect the structural behavior.

Citizen science project on urban canids provides different results from camera traps but generates interest and revenue

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As urbanization increases, wildlife increasingly encounters people. Coyotes Canis latrans and red foxes Vulpes vulpes are two canid species that have readily adapted to urban environments. Citizen science has emerged as a low‐cost method of collecting data on urban‐adapted species that can benefit management agencies but may provide different results ...
