Field test of assumptions for using line transect distance sampling on rock ptarmigan
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Reliable population estimates are essential for the management of harvested species. Line transect distance sampling using pointing dogs is an established survey method for willow ptarmigan and has also been proposed for the monitoring of rock ptarmigan.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Seasonal changes shape herbivore behaviour by altering forage availability and habitat conditions; however, few studies integrate diet and habitat selection data across temporal scales. This study uses seasonality as a unifying framework to combine fine‐scale GPS‐based habitat selection data with broader‐scale dietary information from stable isotope ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Quantifying how individuals differ as their environment changes around them is crucial to predict population responses to climate change. By incorporating personality, physiology and life‐history the authors show that while environmental change is likely to impact the whole population equally, when individuals are most impacted will vary across the ...
