The estimation of grizzly bear density through hair‐snagging techniques above the tree line
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Assessing grizzly bears' (Ursus arctos) abundance in the Arctic has been challenging because of the large scale of their movements and the remoteness of field locations.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

Spring migration of Ruffs Philomachus pugnax in Fryslân: estimates of staging duration using resighting data [PDF]
, 2010 Seasonal bird migration involves long flights, but most time is actually spent at intermediate staging areas. The duration of stay at these sites can be evaluated with mark–recapture methods that employ day-to-day local encounters of individually marked ...

Promoting engagement in embryology through gamified student‐developed small group sessions
Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract Learning embryology is often challenging for students as it requires conceptualizing morphological changes to embryologic structures across time. To further complicate the process, while some structures transition to permanent structures, others disappear or degenerate.

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2018 The global conservation status of Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) was last assessed in 1996. The species presents particular difficulty in monitoring because it can be cryptic, require expertise to handle, and caudal tail tags and transmitters are

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The agri‐food industry faces major sustainability challenges, requiring a shift in companies' approach. Circular economy principles offer a promising path by enhancing resource efficiency, reducing waste, and valorizing by‐products. However, the integration of sustainability and circularity practices remains limited, especially in developing ...
