Ecology of reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in Dinosaur National Monument La Ecología de Borrego Cimarron de las Montañas Rocosas Reintroducido en el Monumento Nacional de Dinosaurio

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, Volume 223, Issue 1, August 2026.
We synthesized GPS telemetry, genetic, and pathogen data to evaluate metapopulation processes in a reintroduced Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) population in Dinosaur National Monument. We estimated subpopulation‐specific abundances and found 4 small subpopulations with high genetic diversity, partial connectivity, and ...

Large, rugged and remote: The challenge of wolf–livestock coexistence on federal lands in the American West

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2065-2077, July 2026.
Abstract The expansion of grey wolves (Canis lupus) across the western United States, including on public lands used for extensive livestock grazing, requires tools and techniques for reducing wolf–livestock conflict and supporting coexistence. We examined approaches used on forested lands managed by the U.S.

Conflict, coexistence, or both? Cougar habitat selection, prey composition, and mortality in a multiple-use landscape

open access: yesCalifornia Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2021
Western North America is experiencing remarkable human population growth and land-use change. Irrigation and associated cultivation have led to colonization of urban-wildland interface (UWI) environments by mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and ...

Integrating human acceptance into habitat suitability models for snow leopards in northern Bhutan

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2266-2280, July 2026.
Abstract Habitat suitability models are commonly used to assess the potential distribution of large carnivores by identifying ecologically favourable areas. However, these models often overlook human dimensions, such as conflict and acceptance, which can lead to overestimation of species ranges and a mismatch between predicted and actual distributions.

Evaluating mountain lion diet before and after a removal of feral horses in a semiarid environment

open access: yesEcosphere
Non‐native species can affect ecosystems by influencing native predator‐prey dynamics. Therefore, management interventions designed to remove non‐natives may inadvertently lead to increased predation on native species. Feral horses are widely distributed

Longitudinal dietary resilience of lion (Panthera leo) in a semi-arid fenced reserve of South Africa

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science
Understanding the dietary composition of large carnivores and how these relate to the availability of suitable habitat and prey is crucial to population management, especially in fenced reserves. This study aimed to determine the current diet of the lion

The Coptic Church in the Aftermath of the Second Vatican Council: Theological or Tactical Anti‐Judaism?

open access: yesModern Theology, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 667-685, July 2026.
Abstract Vatican II's declaration on the Jews, absolving them from collective guilt of deicide, marked a significant turning point in Catholic theology. Arab governments tended to perceive this development as evidence that Catholics (or Christians generally) were taking the side of Zionist Jews in the Arab‐Israeli conflict.

Cougar population status and range expansion in Alberta during 1991–2010

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2014
In Alberta, Canada, number of cougar (Puma concolor) mortalities caused by humans has increased rapidly over the past 2 decades. Management agencies sometimes use human‐caused mortalities as an index of cougar population trend, which would indicate an ...

Variable terrestrial GPS telemetry detection rates: Addressing the probability of successful acquisitions

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
Studies using global positioning system (GPS) telemetry rarely result in 100% fix success rates (FSR), which may bias datasets because data loss is systematic rather than a random process.

USA-Mexico border wall impedes wildlife movement

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Geopolitical boundaries can present challenges to wildlife conservation because of varying environmental regulations, and increasingly, the existence of border barriers.
