Birth timing for mountain lions (Puma concolor); testing the prey availability hypothesis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 We investigated potential advantages in birth timing for mountain lion (Puma concolor) cubs. We examined cub body mass, survival, and age of natal dispersal in relation to specific timing of birth.

Predicting support for recolonization of mountain lions (Puma concolor) in the Adirondack park
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Carnivore range expansion creates opportunities for human–wildlife conflicts. Wildlife attitudes and values, factual knowledge, and risk perception have all been proposed as variables to measure or predict social acceptability of wildlife management.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Behavioral responses of black bears to human presence and infrastructure in Yosemite National Park
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Using GPS collar data from black bears in Yosemite National Park, we examined how bear spatiotemporal activity in relation to human development shifted during the COVID‐19 park closure in 2020. In the absence of visitors, bears maintained consistent landscape‐scale space use but altered fine‐scale spatial and temporal behaviors.
