Age and spatial behavior determine survival of male elk during the hunting season

open access: yesThe 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.

Assessing potential impacts of black bear predation on neonatal mortality in boreal caribou

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
We used simulations to show that even if caribou give birth in areas with the least chance of encountering a black bear, there are so many bears on the landscape that predation risk for caribou calves can still be quite high. Bear densities used in our simulation were typical for the boreal forest.

Recruitment probability in a large carnivore: the role of biological and human‐related factors in early‐life

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
To reach reproduction, individuals must survive the juvenile stage, a critical period of low survival rates in large carnivores. Early‐life conditions during this stage can have lasting effects on survival, reproductive maturation, growth, physiology and behaviour. We assessed recruitment probability in Scandinavian wolves, i.e.

A Decade of Post‐Fire Succession Amplifies the Effect of Wildfire on the Surface Radiation Balance and Permafrost Thaw in Subarctic Peatlands

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 124-142, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Increasing wildfire activity is driving permafrost thaw in subarctic peatlands across the southern Northwest Territories, but the key mechanisms and progression of thaw following fire remain poorly understood. In response, 10 years (2015–2024) of near‐continuous surface (four‐component radiation, wind, and snow) and subsurface measurements ...
