The American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) as an Apex Predator: Investigating the Ecological Role of the World's Most Abundant Large Carnivore

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
Black bears as apex predators. American black bears can (1) produce top‐down effects on ungulates equal to or exceeding those of typical apex predators and (2) modify the spatiotemporal behaviour of other carnivores, including pumas and coyotes. We argue that the term ‘apex predator’ is highly context dependent and not a species‐wide status.

Salvage logging after an insect outbreak reduces occupancy by snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) and their primary predators

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Salvage logging after a natural disturbance is controversial because it may disrupt forest succession and reduce the value of wildlife habitat, but few studies have examined consequences on predator-prey systems.

Functional Responses Shape Node and Network Level Properties of a Simplified Boreal Food Web

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Ecological communities are fundamentally connected through a network of trophic interactions that are often complex and difficult to model. Substantial variation exists in the nature and magnitude of these interactions across various predators and prey ...

The Secret Life of Tidal Marshes and Mangroves: Camera Trapping as a Window Into Wildlife Using North American Coastal Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...

Effects of emergency winter supplemental feeding on survival of mule deer

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Ungulates in temperate regions can experience high mortality during severe winters, which poses significant ecological and economic challenges for wildlife managers. To mitigate these effects, emergency winter‐feeding programs are often implemented, although their effectiveness remains uncertain.
