The Swedish Arctic Fox Project: 40 years of research in ecology and conservation
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.The 4 central research themes in The Swedish Arctic Fox Project and key deliverables for practical conservation achieved over 4 decades. Abstract The scientific community widely recognizes the value of long‐term studies, especially those with individual‐level resolution; however, maintaining a consecutive data series is associated with multiple ...

Inadvertent identity activation may influence measurement of wildlife‐related attitudes
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Interest group members in a 2023 Montana mail survey reported lower mean tolerance for wolves when the recruitment letter addressed them by their group identity (2.94, SE = 0.11) than when it did not (3.37, SE = 0.22). Survey content was identical and only the salutation differed. Tolerance was measured on a 5‐point scale (1 = very intolerant, 5 = very

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines faunal assemblages from paired semisubterranean houses and middens at 10 Early Inuit sites spanning the North American Arctic (ca. 1200–1500 ce) to evaluate whether local resource bases or other factors primarily structure zooarchaeological variability.

Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

Coverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richness
Oikos, EarlyView.Coverage‐based rarefaction (CBR) is a high‐profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good‐Turing index u to interpolate. In contrast to alternatives such as the Shannon and Simpson indices, CBR's main appeal is providing values in units of species. CBR is tested against a series of other
