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.

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.

SNP Miniplexes for Individual Identification of Random-Bred Domestic Cats. [PDF]
, 2016 Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the cat can be obtained from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) analyses of fur. This study developed miniplexes using SNPs with high discriminating power for random-bred domestic cats, focusing on ...

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.

Sylvatic trichinellosis in Texas
Parasite, 2001 There are no published reports of domestic or sylvatic trichinellosis in Texas. The aim of the present survey was to determine the presence of Trichinella species in selected representative species of potential wildlife reservoirs in southern Texas.

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.

Testing the human shield hypothesis: Female wild turkeys have greater fitness near human activity
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.Our findings indicate that human activity can create a protective shield that deters predators and enhances survival and reproduction for prey species of conservation concern. Because habitat work on public lands often occurs in areas accessible to heavy machinery, such as secondary roads, managers can pair habitat manipulations with regular, light ...
