Are human‐altered landscapes reshaping carnivore niche spaces in the Trans‐Himalaya?

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding carnivore interactions under growing human pressures is crucial for conservation. We examined spatial and temporal niche structuring among snow leopards Panthera uncia, Himalayan wolves Canis lupus chanco, and red foxes Vulpes vulpes; while also incorporating free‐ranging dogs Canis lupus familiaris as a human‐subsidized mesopredator ...

Annual survival in a dynamic species: pronghorn survival patterns across their northern range

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Quantifying variation in demographic patterns, such as survival and recruitment, is critical for understanding population dynamics and informing evidence‐based and adaptive wildlife management. In this study, we leverage an extensive dataset from over 1000 GPS collared pronghorn Antilocapra americana to provide the first large‐scale evaluation of ...

Forty years of captive breeding in Przewalski's horse: pedigree‐based insights into population growth, sex ratio, and inbreeding

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Long‐term captive breeding programs play a critical role in the conservation and reintroduction of endangered species, yet they face persistent challenges related to demographic structure and genetic management. The Przewalski's horse Equus przewalskii, once extinct in the wild, represents a global model for conservation breeding supported by pedigree ...

Beyond the enclosure: a decade of monitoring reveals altered traits in a European ground squirrel colony with implications for a recovery program

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Effective integrated conservation programs critically depend on high‐quality animals from ex situ breeding, specifically those that are genetically diverse and physically healthy, yet insufficient scientific rigor in husbandry protocols can lead to unintended, detrimental consequences that compromise reintroduction success.

Spatiotemporal mapping the usable space of free‐roaming equids across the western United States

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Identification of the inter‐decadal (2010‐2011) enhancement‐degradation gradients in the usable space for wild equid Herd Management Areas in the Great Basin, USA. Abstract Management of feral equids in the American West is hindered by the lack of a formal habitat map and monitoring system.

Electrocution of raptors at power lines in Central Kazakhstan [PDF]

, 2013
Along three transects of medium voltage power lines in the steppe of Central Kazakhstan, surveys for bird casualties were carried out in summer 2006 in order to estimate the quantitative and qualitative impact of power lines on bird mortality in this ...

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...
