Niche partitioning of bobcat and Canada lynx near their distribution contact zone

FACETS
Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) are keystone predators. However, contact with congenerics, like the bobcat (Lynx rufus), could alter lynx trophic ecology and destabilize boreal food webs.

Habitat characteristics along spring migration routes of elk, mule deer, and pronghorn in the southern San Juan Mountains

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We evaluated habitat characteristics of spring migration routes and stopover sites for adult female elk (Cervus canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) in the San Juan Mountains (2021–2022) and found species‐specific differences in vegetation structure, terrain, and proximity to land cover types relative to ...

Annual survival and resource selection of juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee, USA, selected areas with smaller patch sizes and lower proportions of developed land. Annual survival was 0.73 and decreased as dense land cover such as young and deciduous forest increased and cover types with high visibility decreased. Abstract Documenting juvenile male wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus) survival in southwestern Oregon

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We captured and monitored radio‐collared ringtails over 2 years to estimate monthly and annual survival rates. We found that annual survival rates were much higher within forested landscapes in Oregon than for populations in the southwestern United States.

Where opportunity meets desire: Predicting antlerless deer harvest selectivity during Wisconsin's nine‐day firearm season

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We predicted Wisconsin deer hunters’ likelihood to take an available antlerless deer harvest opportunity on a given day of the 9‐day firearm season using a combination of personal characteristics of the hunter and situational factors of the hunting day.

Non-invasive faecal sampling reveals spatial organization and improves measures of genetic diversity for the conservation assessment of territorial species: Caucasian lynx as a case species.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The Caucasian lynx, Lynx lynx dinniki, has one of the southernmost distributions in the Eurasian lynx range, covering Anatolian Turkey, the Caucasus and Iran. Little is known about the biology and the genetic status of this subspecies.

Hunting Strategies and Game Exploitation Organization in the Magdalenian: An Integrated Approach Based on Mortality Profiles and Stable Isotopes at Chaves Cave (Huesca, Spain)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding hunting strategies in Upper Paleolithic contexts remains challenging due to the complex relationships between prey behavior, environmental conditions, and human decision‐making. Addressing these dynamics requires integrating archeozoological, geospatial, and geochemical proxies capable of capturing demographic patterns, landscape

The magnitude and economic replacement value of wild meat obtained from ‘recreational’ big game hunting in the United States

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Meat production has notable benefits for food security, nutrition and various production economies, but has elicited substantial negative environmental impacts. Recreational hunting provides an alternative to agricultural meat production for over 24 million hunters worldwide.
