Missing the third dimension in geometric morphometrics: how to assess if 2D images really are a good proxy for 3D structures? [PDF]
Procrustean geometric morphometrics has made large use of 2D images for studying three-dimensional structures such as mammalian bones or arthropod exoskeleta. This type of use of 2D data is still widespread today and will likely remain common for several

Dispersal in Adult Arctic Ground Squirrels: Why Do Males Do What They Do? [PDF]
... The primary goal of my research on ground squirrels is to determine why adult males disperse. I use this system to understand the ecology of mating behaviour and the evolutionary implications of different mating strategies.

Fecal pellet counts as a technique for monitoring an alpine-dwelling social rodent, the hoary marmot (Marmota caligata) [PDF]
We evaluated fecal pellet counts as an index of hoary marmot (Marmota caligata) social group size in order to develop a simple, inexpensive method for monitoring population change of a widely distributed, but poorly studied alpine mammal.

Hoary Marmot, White-Tailed Ptarmigan And Pika Surveys In Northwest Montana [PDF]
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks has long done survey and inventory of game species and largely within the past few decades has expanded the staff and program necessary to monitor non-game species, too. However, to date there has been little work done on
