Effects of selective harvest on antler size of white‐tailed deer in Texas, USA

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 222, Issue 1, June 2026.
We conducted 20 years of experiments on the selective harvest of white‐tailed deer by antler size, judged inferior, in 2 areas of South Texas, USA. Selective harvest increased the phenotypic antler size of older males in one study area but not the other. There was little evidence of evolution resulting from selective harvesting. Abstract There has been

Evolutionary and Ecological Determinants of the Phenology of Births in Wild Large Herbivores, a Systematic Review

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.
This semi‐systematic review supports the two dominant drivers of birth phenology: the seasonality and predation hypotheses. Even though there is evidence of their importance, the effects of female, offspring and population characteristics remain marginally accounted for. Asian and South and Central American species are currently understudied.

Signatures of selection in mammalian clock genes with coding trinucleotide repeats: Implications for studying the genomics of high‐pace adaptation

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Climate change is predicted to affect the reproductive ecology of wildlife; however, we have yet to understand if and how species can adapt to the rapid pace of change.

Identification of camera trap images by artificial intelligence and human experts produces similar multi‐species occupancy models

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
The use of a global AI classifier to identify species and reproducible pre‐ and post‐processing decisions makes our approach broadly applicable and particularly beneficial for national and international monitoring programs that collect large amounts of photo data on threatened, at risk, or management sensitive species and wildlife communities.

Boreal predator co‐occurrences reveal shared use of seismic lines in a working landscape

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Interspecific interactions are an integral aspect of ecosystem functioning that may be disrupted in an increasingly anthropocentric world. Industrial landscape change creates a novel playing field on which these interactions take place, and a key ...

Behavioral and demographic effects of open‐pit mining on Central Mountain Caribou in British Columbia

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
The demographic manifestation of mining effects on caribou, a species listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, has been disputed. We characterized a cascade of events for caribou associated with open‐pit coal mining beginning with maladaptive behavior responses leading to negative demographic outcomes for the affected caribou ...

The Spatial Ecology of Lynx canadensis

, 2011
Lynx canadensis is a mammalian carnivore with a distribution spreading from Alaska to Newfoundland to Colorado. The latitudinal and anthropogenic alterations over this range provide many variations in lynx habitat, food source, and population ...
