Assessing potential impacts of black bear predation on neonatal mortality in boreal caribou

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
We used simulations to show that even if caribou give birth in areas with the least chance of encountering a black bear, there are so many bears on the landscape that predation risk for caribou calves can still be quite high. Bear densities used in our simulation were typical for the boreal forest.

Red deer adult sex ratio: comparing three approaches using camera trap data

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
A naïve estimate of the adult sex ratio in red deer (Cervus elaphus) using raw camera trap data showed no bias when compared to more advanced statistical methods that account for detection probabilities or predict the sex of unknown sightings. Abstract European forests face severe challenges due to climate change, highlighting the importance of tree ...

Decision analysis rooted in Indigenous and Western scientific knowledge identifies cost‐effective strategies for managing hyperabundant deer to restore keystone places

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 4-20, January 2026.
Abstract The hyperabundance of herbivores—a result of altered human relationality with the land and the extirpation of predators—is leading to large‐scale degradation of keystone ecosystems across the globe. Designing and implementing socially acceptable and cost‐effective strategies that meaningfully reduce herbivore populations while allowing for the

Synthesizing current knowledge on the ecology, phenology, and cultivation of Vaccinium membranaceum

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 116-133, January 2026.
More than 100 edible native berries grow across Canada's vast territory and are used by over 600 Indigenous Peoples of Canada as a main component of their diet. This research provides critical insights into the ecology, phenology, and cultivation of black huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum), a species of significant ecological and cultural importance ...

Conservation challenges and opportunities for native apple (Malus) species in Canada

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 134-156, January 2026.
Apple, one of the world's most widely cultivated and economically important fruit crops, has two wild relatives native to Canada. In this review, we describe the importance of these native apple species to Indigenous heritage and the current threats the species faces due to pests, diseases, and habitat loss.

Differential effects of environmental predictability on ungulate movement behavior in disparate ecosystems

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Increasing ecological perturbations resulting from global change processes are altering the environmental predictability (EP) of critical forage and water resources for wildlife. While research has furthered our understanding of how EP both underlies and directs animal movement, studies have mainly focused on relationships between EP and large‐scale ...
