A Real Option Approach to the Protection of a Habitat Dependent Endangered Species [PDF]
We use a real option approach to determine optimally when a social planner has to stop or resume logging in situations where an endangered species relies on forest habitat for its survival, and that habitat evolves stochastically.

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 ...

This study assessed the habitat suitability and spatial niche differentiation of three sympatric ungulates—Black muntjac, Reeves's muntjac, and Wild boar—in the Tongbo Mountain National Nature Reserve, China. Using MaxEnt modeling and niche overlap analysis, we found distinct habitat preferences and hierarchical niche segregation that facilitate ...

Wetland habitat selection by woodland caribou as characterized using the Alberta Wetland Inventory
We examined habitat selection by woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in northwestern Alberta based on a wetland classification system developed for the Alberta Vegetation Inventory. Our two objectives were to describe caribou habitat use, and to

ABSTRACT The rising global consumption of game meat has highlighted gaps in the management of biological hazards associated with its production and consumption, and the safety of processed game meat products remain insufficiently addressed. Therefore, there is a need for research evaluating the effectiveness of processing and preservation methods in ...

Harvest estimates of the Western Arctic caribou herd, Alaska
A generalized least squares regression model was developed to estimate local harvest of the Western Arctic caribou (Rangifer tarandus granti) herd. This model provides herd and community level harvest based on community size, proximity of the herd to the
