Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?
We investigated little‐studied feral horses in west‐central British Columbia, Canada, as a potential competitor for native moose and mule deer. We did not find strong evidence that feral horses exclude moose or deer from habitat or resources at a large landscape scale or smaller spatiotemporal patch scale.

World status of wild Rangifer tarandus populations
We recognized 184 herds of wild Rangifer tarandus, 102 in North America, 55 in Europe, 24 in Asia and 3 on South Georgia. Seventy-five percent of the world population of 3.3 to 3.9 million animals occurred in nine herds.

Retracing the Response of Rangifer to Postglacial Climate Change in Arctic Islands
Our study examines the role of sea ice and glacial retreat in shaping the biogeography of Rangifer tarandus across Arctic islands since the last glacial period. Using mitochondrial DNA analysis and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) modelling, we found that Arctic island dispersal occurred during the Holocene, with sea ice cover likely influencing ...

Coyotes Choose Cover Over Concrete When Selecting Den Sites
Reproductive decision‐making impacts fitness, especially in dynamic urban environments. Thus, we assessed urban coyote den site selection in Atlanta, GA. We found that coyotes made decision on both the site and structure of dens to mitigate fitness related risk and safeguard their young.

Spruce budworm epidemic induces tree mortality and modifies understory communities. Could aerial spraying of Btk reduce perturbations in understory communities? Biannual Btk spraying could prevent both wood loss and understory degradation. ABSTRACT Since 1985, more than 10 million hectares of Canadian forests have been treated against spruce budworm ...

Limiting factors in caribou population ecology
Caribou and wild reindeer populations fluctuate over time. On this fact there is general agreement. Factors responsible for population limitation and subsequent declines have been examined within the framework of animal population theory.

Few studies have simultaneously assessed multiple sources of variation in maternal energy allocation and how allocation might vary over a female's lifetime. We used 20 years of cross‐sectional and longitudinal data on 222 known‐age grey seals, which was collected as part of long‐term monitoring programme of grey seals that breed on Sable Island ...
