Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Hunter‐based monitoring programs offer a cost‐effective approach to large‐scale wildlife monitoring, but their performance depends on sufficient observation effort and robust assessment of estimate precision. We evaluated the performance of ÄlgObs, Sweden's nationwide hunter‐based moose observation program, using data from six hunting seasons (2019 ...

Abstract Human‐induced environmental modifications may alter forage access and, hence, how animals manage energy trade‐offs during critical periods. Reproduction, especially lactation, is the most energetically costly process for female mammals.

Burned habitats facilitate predation and lead to long‐term reductions in prey success
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.By evaluating the effects of burned habitats on the habitat selection and movement responses of cougars and mule deer, cougar kill sites, and mule deer reproduction, the authors find that increasingly large, severe burns are diminishing herbivore reproductive success, potentially due to advantages for predators created by burned landscapes.

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...
