Estimating density and detection of bobcats in fragmented midwestern landscapes using spatial capture–recapture data from camera traps

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2019
Camera‐trapping data analyzed with spatially explicit capture–recapture (SCR) models can provide a rigorous method for estimating density of small populations of elusive carnivore species.

Prey Partitioning in a Diverse Carnivore Community: Implications for Reintroduced Fishers in Washington

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
Using fecal DNA metabarcoding, we quantified dietary overlap among reintroduced fishers and sympatric coyotes, bobcats, and Pacific martens in Washington's North Cascades. Niche overlap was substantial for common prey but varied with body size, revealing fine‐scale resource partitioning that may limit fishers' access to energetically efficient prey ...

Understanding Sex‐Specific Behavioral States of Bobcats in Response to Highway Proximity in South Texas

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Roads are a major source of landscape fragmentation that can influence movement patterns, survival, and behavioral states of carnivore species. Understanding their behavior and response to roads is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies such as wildlife crossing structures, exclusion fencing, and habitat connectivity planning ...

Is pathogen exposure spatially autocorrelated? Patterns of pathogens in puma (Puma concolor) and bobcat (Lynx rufus)

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Understanding pathogen spread in wildlife has important implications for conservation and management efforts. This is particularly the case for taxa that are susceptible to disease spillover events resulting in outbreaks and rapid population declines ...

Urbanization Drives Patterns of Individual Specialization but Not Dietary Diversity Among Coyotes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Niche partitioning and resource specialization can lead to spatial heterogeneity in trophic dynamics, but little is known about how these dynamics may change across landscapes of varying complexity. Urban ecosystems are characterized by a wider array of both natural and anthropogenic food sources, which can increase predator densities compared to ...

This is fine: Mule deer and elk do not substantially change their behavior in response to active wildfires

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
During an outbreak of 7 wildfires in eastern Oregon, USA, we analyzed the home range and movement patterns of mule deer and elk before, during, and immediately after wildfires. Mule deer maintained high site fidelity during the wildfire but used their home range more uniformly and had higher daily displacement than deer unaffected by wildfire.

Cougar density on the Oregon Coast: Using dead recovery modeling in an open population

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 6, August 2026.
The primary objective of this study was to determine cougar density in western Oregon. Our results demonstrate that integrating DNA collected via bio‐darting, mandatory hunter‐harvest check‐ins, and GPS collar data into the OPCR2 is a reliable method for estimating cougar densities in densely forested coastal systems.
