Seeking Out the Hoary Marmot: Habitat Characteristics of an Alpine Obligate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Alpine ecosystems likely will be impacted by climate change, which will shift distributions of alpine species. To predict these shifts reliably, an increased understanding about the habitat characteristics that are important to alpine species will be ...

Translocation and deterrence as tools for conservation and management of Columbian ground squirrels (Urocitellus columbianus) in a national park

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
Our study evaluates two non‐lethal methods for managing Columbian ground squirrels in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. We demonstrate that translocated squirrels exhibited lower survival than controls and that a deterrence methodology that includes blocking burrows may be an appropriate alternative, especially when combined with other tools ...

Spatiotemporal Distribution Patterns of Plateau Foxes and Their Lagomorph Prey in Baqing County, Tibet

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our study suggests pronounced spatiotemporal niche differentiation as a mechanism facilitating two mesocarnivores' coexistence, and enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying sympatric coexistence on the Tibetan Plateau. ABSTRACT Predation by carnivores is a fundamental driver of species evolution, shaping interspecific spatiotemporal ...

Beyond Circannual Fattening: Behavioural Flexibility and Sex‐Specific Strategies Enable Coping With High‐Elevation Winters

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Winter at high elevations challenges resident species such as the White‐winged Snowfinch. Circannual‐regulated fat accumulation, along with flexible and sex‐specific movement strategies, likely play a critical role in coping with cold temperatures and unpredictable food, but may be vulnerable to climate change.

Studies of Birds and Mammals in the Baird and Schwatka Mountains, Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 1974
In 1963 a joint University of Alaska-Smithsonian Institution crew worked at five locations in the Baird and Schwatka mountains in northwestern Alaska, conducting an ecological reconnaissance and faunal and floral inventory.

Channel Evolution During Drawdown of Iron Gate and Copco I Reservoirs, Klamath River, CA

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract This study used the world's largest dam removal on the Klamath River to investigate channel evolution in unconsolidated silt and clay sediment during reservoir drawdown. Timelapse imagery revealed retrogressing rotational slides and flowslides as key sources of sediment to the re‐emerging channels.

Influence of Boulder Size on Occupancy and Detection of Hoary Marmots (Poster) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Hoary marmots (Marmota caligata) can be found in boulder fields throughout alpine areas of western Montana, but we know little about their specific habitat requirements.

Community development practice in occupational therapy: A scoping review

open access: yesAustralian Occupational Therapy Journal, Volume 73, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Introduction Community development is a vital area of practice in occupational therapy, aligned with a recent shift in focus from individual‐level interventions to community and societal issues. Despite its growing significance, knowledge and understanding of community development in occupational therapy remain fragmented.

Epigenetic Signatures of Ageing in Asian Elephants Revealed by Reduced Representation Bisulphite Sequencing

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate age estimation is essential for understanding life‐history variation, modelling population dynamics and informing conservation strategies, yet remains challenging for long‐lived species. Here, we developed a genome‐wide DNA methylation‐based epigenetic clock for Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), an endangered species, using reduced ...
