Denning chronology in an Arctic brown bear population

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Denning is a critical behavioral adaptation for brown bears Ursus arctos to cope with winter, a period of extended resource scarcity. Bears reduce their body temperature, heart rate, and metabolism during this time to minimize energy expenditures. The Arctic has among the most pronounced and longest period of resource scarcity. Thus, we predicted bears

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Evaluating patterns of plant phenological progression and pronghorn movement behaviors across diverse landscapes Évaluation des modèles de progression phénologique des plantes et des comportements de mouvement des antilopes d'Amérique dans divers paysages

open access: yesWildlife Monographs, EarlyView.
We found variable spatial and temporal patterns and predictability of plant phenological progression across 8 pronghorn ranges in Montana. We sampled potential exposure to phenology values for migrants and residents along spring movement paths and summer ranges and found that within herds and years the resident and migrant movement strategies conferred

Documenting den characteristics of bears and wolves in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem using LIDAR technology

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Previous studies have documented den site characteristics through physical measurements recorded by researchers in the field. Using the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor onboard an Apple iPad Pro, we scanned the interior of black and grizzly bear dens (n = 9) located in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) to generate point clouds of den ...
