Risk and residency influences on public support for florida panther recovery

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Human expansion into core habitat of the Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) increasingly threatens this endangered carnivore. To understand the social dimensions of the influence of humans' proximity to risk from panthers on public support for panther

Translocation effects on regional and local population viability and connectivity

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Translocations and reintroductions aim to improve the viability of isolated populations and promote connectivity for large carnivores. However, there is no established framework for assessing their success. We used the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in western and central Europe to assess the impact of translocations on the viability of six ...

Chronology of reproductive investment determines predation risk aversion in a felid‐ungulate system

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Fear of predators can behaviorally mediate prey population dynamics, particularly when predation risk influences reproductive investment. However, the costs of reproductive investment may mitigate predation risk aversion relative to periods when the link

Movement decisions reflect compromised statewide connectivity for mountain lions in California

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2026.
Human‐induced habitat fragmentation threatens connectivity for populations of wide‐ranging species by compromising long‐distance dispersal. We evaluated movement‐based resource selection of dispersing mountain lions (Puma concolor) to identify specific landscape conditions influencing movement decisions and connectivity between populations across the ...

Contemporary Evolution of an At‐Risk Stickleback Population During a Severe Drought

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Populations can be granted conservation status because they harbour a set of unique traits, evolutionary histories, or ecological roles. Such populations are often isolated and specialised and, as such, can be particularly vulnerable to environmental disturbances.

Effects of management strategies on the survival probability of a small remnant population of mouse lemurs

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
Multiple management strategies have been put in place in Madagascar to slow down biodiversity loss, but evidence for their effectiveness remains scarce. Using a long‐term monitoring dataset and a custom‐built capture–mark–recapture model, we evaluated the effect of a protected area and translocations on the survival of mouse lemurs Microcebus murinus ...

To Breed or Not to Breed? An Examination of Reproductive Success of Translocated Eastern Quolls

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 26, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Conservation translocations are increasingly important for threatened species management. Translocations can achieve a range of positive conservation outcomes, such as recovering or expanding the range of a threatened species or increasing the size and genetic diversity of a population. The eastern quoll—a mesopredator extirpated from mainland

White‐tailed deer habitat use and implications for chronic wasting disease transmission Uso del hábitat del ciervo de cola blanca e implicaciones para la transmisión de la caquexia crónica

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 217, Issue 1, July 2025.
White‐tailed deer habitat use, activity, and attraction to conspecifics is highly variable between sexes and seasons. In this study, we leverage an unprecedented dataset from Wisconsin to illustrate how deer respond to changing physiological and social needs through the course of year.

Wildfires induce a reduction in body size and morphological variation of an insular endemic insect

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 485-494, June 2025.
Populations of the Madeiran Green Bush‐Cricket (P. barretoi) have suffered because of recent wildfires. Thus, we tested the difference in genetic and morphological variations of the species between burnt and non‐burnt areas. All morphological traits of the species in burnt areas are smaller than in non‐burnt areas.

Whole‐Genome Evaluation of Genetic Rescue: The Case of a Curiously Isolated and Endangered Butterfly

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Genetic rescue, or the translocation of individuals among populations to augment gene flow, can help ameliorate inbreeding depression and loss of adaptive potential in small and isolated populations. Genetic rescue is currently under consideration for an endangered butterfly in Canada, the Half‐moon Hairstreak (Satyrium semiluna).
