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 ...

Prioritizing areas for wolf management in Austria by modelling potential habitat and depredation risk

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The recovery of wolf populations across Europe has reignited human–wildlife conflicts, particularly in countries such as Austria, where wolves have been absent for more than a century. Livestock depredation remains one of the primary sources of tension, and effective management requires a solid spatial basis for planning.

Defining Sustainability in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

open access: yes, 2018
Because of the normative and subjective nature of the terms sustainability and sustainable development, solutions tend to be applicable for specific regions but not the whole of society. Thus, it is imperative understand better how community stakeholders

A case study in natural resource policy: Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki bouvieri) in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is hailed as one of the most intact temperate ecosystems in the world. Within the ecosystem the Yellowstone cutthroat trout has been noted as both a keystone species and an indicator of ecosystem health. As anthropogenic

Modernizing environmental data management for ecological research, management, and conservation at regional scales

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We developed a web GIS system that delivers geospatial data for Wyoming and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) using cloud‐optimized formats and open‐source tools to support regional ecological research and management. Using pronghorn as an example, we combined observed locations with environmental covariates from our geospatial library to map ...

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.
