Impact of Female Mating Status on Male Courtship Behaviour in a Sexually Cannibalistic New Zealand Fishing Spider

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 6, Page 373-384, June 2026.
Scoring of male courtship behaviour in Dolomedes minor revealed no effect of female mating status on courtship duration or sequence structure, but males delayed the initiation of courtship when encountering previously mated females. ABSTRACT The evolution of male courtship rituals has traditionally been attributed to female mate selection, but may also

Stakeholder contemporary knowledge needs regarding the potential effects of tall structures on sage-grouse

open access: yesHuman-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
The U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005 required all state and federal agencies to grant utilities access permits to promote reliable, renewable energy production and transmission. Contemporary transmission relies largely on above-ground electric transmission

Measuring the effectiveness of conservation: a novel framework to quantify the benefits of sage-grouse conservation policy and easements in Wyoming. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Increasing energy and housing demands are impacting wildlife populations throughout western North America. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a species known for its sensitivity to landscape-scale disturbance, inhabits the same low ...

Songbird population trajectories diverge under simulations of conifer encroachment versus removal in a sagebrush ecosystem

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract Woody plant encroachment into grasslands and shrublands is a global phenomenon that negatively impacts ecosystem services and wildlife populations. North American sagebrush ecosystems have experienced widespread degradation from encroaching conifers, leading to losses of sagebrush‐obligate wildlife.

Preservation Strategies for Camel Meat: Quality Improvement and Shelf‐Life Extension

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
Camel meat, a crucial protein source in arid regions, faces challenges like high moisture content and susceptibility to spoilage, limiting its shelf life. Traditional methods such as salting, drying, and smoking have been used historically, while modern techniques like refrigeration, freezing, and vacuum packaging enhance quality and safety.

Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 3, April 2026.
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.
