Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Wildlife and their habitats face profound challenges from climate and landscape‐scale changes that extend beyond the influence and time horizon of most biologists and land managers. In this changing environment, long‐term datasets can enhance assessments of how demographic trends respond to interactions among local (e.g., habitat restoration ...

Age and spatial behavior determine survival of male elk during the hunting season
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.We sought to investigate factors that influenced survival of male elk in Montana, USA, during the hunting season using 4 years of movement, age, and survival data. Our findings demonstrate that use of security attributes are the result of behavioral and demographic mechanisms with some age‐based nuances.

People 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

Refuges alter elk distribution: a case study of public and private land management strategies
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.Wildlife managers have traditionally relied on hunting to manage elk Cervus canadensis population abundance; however, problems with elk over‐abundance and/or distributions have arisen across the western US as private landowners restrict public hunting and refuges are created.
