Density and genetic diversity of grizzly bears at the northern edge of their distribution

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Species at the periphery of their range are typically limited in density by poor habitat quality. As a result, the central–marginal hypothesis (CMH) predicts a decline in genetic diversity of populations toward the periphery of a species' range.

Density and reproductive characteristics of female brown bears in the Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Here we present annual nearest-neighbour distances (as a proxy of density) between females with cubs-of-the-year (hereafter FCOY) and reproductive characteristics of brown bears Ursus arctos in the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain), from 1989 to 2017. FCOY

Low-stress livestock handling protects cattle in a five-predator habitat [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2023
Given the ecological importance of top predators, societies are turning to non-lethal methods for coexistence. Coexistence is challenging when livestock graze within wild predator habitats.

Bears and Scents of Place in Sid Marty’s The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek

open access: yesCanada and Beyond, 2023
Most Western humans think of more-than-human animals as having certain spatial requirements adequate to their needs to feed, reproduce and survive but assume that their territorial needs are more or less generic and interchangeable.

Prediction of the 21-cm signal from reionization: comparison between 3D and 1D radiative transfer schemes

open access: yes, 2017
Three-dimensional radiative transfer simulations of the epoch of reionization can produce realistic results, but are computationally expensive. On the other hand, simulations relying on one-dimensional radiative transfer solutions are faster but limited ...

Forms of life, forms of reality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The article explores aspects of the notion of forms of life in the Wittgensteinian tradition especially following Iris Murdoch’s lead. On the one hand, the notion signals the hardness and inexhaustible character of reality, as the background needed in ...

Intrapopulation diversity in isotopic niche over landscapes: Spatial patterns inform conservation of bear–salmon systems

open access: yesEcosphere, 2017
Intrapopulation variability in resource acquisition (i.e., niche variation) influences population dynamics, with important implications for conservation planning.

Does learning or instinct shape habitat selection? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Habitat selection is an important behavioural process widely studied for its population-level effects. Models of habitat selection are, however, often fit without a mechanistic consideration.
