Localized resources enable noninvasive genetic monitoring of small populations of mountain ungulates
Using microsatellite analysis of fecal samples collected at mineral licks from 2019–2022, we assessed abundance, apparent survival and genetics of bighorn sheep in the Teton Range, Wyoming, USA. Annual abundance estimates ranged from 118−132 individuals split into 2 similar‐sized demes and apparent survival estimates ranged from 0.72–0.92.

With a Great Story Comes Great Responsibility: Role of Narrative in Leadership Development
ABSTRACT Comic books reside uniquely within American culture. Historians have contended comics are more than just sequential artwork mixed with engaging stories, but rather, a framework by which the generations make sense of who they are. These stories are a reflection of cultural conscience; a lens through which we can view the world and a mirror ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Life history theory assumes that there are negative correlations among different components of the life history—investing more in reproduction now means taking resources away from growth, maintenance or the ability to reproduce in the future.

Close-Kin Mark-Recapture Models
Close-Kin Mark-Recapture (CKMR) is a recent extension of the ordinary mark–recapture methods used to estimate animal abundance and other population parameters. Where ordinary mark–recapture only consider the subsequent identification of the same animal a recapture, CKMR expands this by also viewing the genetic identification of a relatives as a ...
