Survival of reintroduced fishers among differing sympatric predator and prey assemblages
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.We examined how predator and prey occurrence and relative abundance influenced survival rates in reintroduced fisher (Pekania pennanti) populations in the southern and northern Cascade Mountains, Washington, USA, and found lower fisher survival in the north than in the south.

Assessing potential impacts of black bear predation on neonatal mortality in boreal caribou
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.We used simulations to show that even if caribou give birth in areas with the least chance of encountering a black bear, there are so many bears on the landscape that predation risk for caribou calves can still be quite high. Bear densities used in our simulation were typical for the boreal forest.

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Large mammals are darted with dart guns to inject drugs or to collect biopsy tissue for capture, research, or veterinary purposes, especially for procedures involving wild and zoo animals. Darting is invasive and associated with risks of trauma, and severe and fatal dart injuries have been reported.

Features of eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx L.) in Croatia [PDF]
, 2010 Ris spada u porodicu mačaka čiji su se članovi najviše specijalizirali od svih mesojedih sisavaca. Ris je mačka koja u mitologiji predstavlja lukavu, tajanstvenu životinju, čuvara šumskih tajni, koji sve vidi bez da bude viđen.

Ecological thresholds and large carnivores conservation: Implications for the Amur tiger and leopard in China [PDF]
, 2020 The ecological threshold concept describes how changes in one or more factors at thresholds can result in a large shift in the state of an ecosystem. This concept focuses attention on limiting factors that affect the tolerance of systems or organisms and

Refuges alter elk distribution: a case study of public and private land management strategies
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Wildlife managers have traditionally relied on hunting to manage elk Cervus canadensis population abundance; however, problems with elk over‐abundance and/or distributions have arisen across the western US as private landowners restrict public hunting and refuges are created.

Seasonal Effects of Habitat on Sources and Rates of Snowshoe Hare Predation in Alaskan Boreal Forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Survival and predation of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) has been widely studied, yet there has been little quantification of the changes in vulnerability of hares to specific predators that may result from seasonal changes in vegetation and cover. We

Introduced wild pigs affect the foraging ecology of a native predator as both prey and scavenger
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Introduced species can disrupt trophic interactions by acting as novel predators, prey, or scavengers. Predicting the impacts of these disruptions can be integral to the conservation of native species and the maintenance of ecological function, but is challenging, especially for species involved in multiple trophic interactions.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.Landscape policy and management should mitigate habitat loss in anthropogenically disturbed landscapes but also consider resulting configurations from development. Complex ecological impacts are not well represented in the simple quantitative measures of disturbance currently employed: managing both composition and configuration is necessary to ...
