Quantification of steroid hormones in free‐ranging Apennine wolf Canis lupus italicus hair samples collected post‐mortem

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

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 ...

Seasonal variation in faecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations of two dominant southern African murids (Lemniscomys rosalia and Mastomys coucha) across variously transformed landscapes

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Global landscape transformations are a result of a growing human population and the subsequent increased use of natural habitats. Local species extinctions across various transformed landscapes emphasise the importance of monitoring wildlife responses to anthropogenic activities.

Unraveling antler progression in desert mule deer: implications for common management practices

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Antler characteristics are commonly used in the management of cervid species to achieve a variety of management goals. Such characteristics are commonly the basis for culling criteria to increase mean antler size. However, the efficacy of culling programs is questionable, and there are few robust evaluations of criteria reliability.

Wildlife management in the United States – thoughts on evolving to better address species overabundance and disease transmission

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Management options and actions are important for responsibly working to keep populations of sometimes overabundant species of invasive and native wildlife at levels that keep damage (e.g., agricultural, environmental, human health and safety) and disease (e.g., species specific, shared with livestock, zoonotic) associated with them at acceptable levels.
