Beavers on Ice: Factors Influencing Emergence Phenology in Boreal Canada
Climate‐driven changes in ice phenology influence the timing of spring emergence of a non‐hibernating ice‐bound mammal, the North American beaver. ABSTRACT The influence of climate change on emergence phenology of hibernating mammals in northern latitudes is receiving increased attention, yet for freshwater semi‐aquatic mammals such as beavers, which ...

Hominid exploitation of the environment and cave bear populations:the case of Ursus spelaeus Rosenmuller-Heinroth in Amutxate cave (Aralar, Navarra-Spain) [PDF]
Cave bears (Ursus deningeri and U. spelaeus) and hominids (Homo heidelbergensis, H. neanderthalensis, and H. sapiens) were potential competitors for environmental resources (subterranean and open air).

Distance-Dependent Effectiveness of Diversionary Bear Bait Sites
Baiting black bears (Ursus americanus) to sites outside a community can alleviate famine-induced spikes in human–bear conflicts. But little is known about effects of distance between baits and communities.

Regional evolutionary distinctiveness and endangerment as a means of prioritizing protection of endangered species [PDF]
Conservation is costly, and choices must be made about where to best allocate limited resources. I propose a regional evolutionary diversity and endangerment (RED-E) approach to prioritization of endangered species.

Arctic ground squirrel (Spermophilus parryii) and american black bear (Ursus americanus) as models for human cryogenics researches [PDF]
Hibernacija je proces od životne važnosti za organizme koji tijekom ekstremnih zimskih temperatura nemaju mogućnost migracije. Karakteristike svih hibernirajućih organizama su smanjen metabolizam, sniženje tjelesne temperature, povećana upotreba masnoća ...

Noninvasive population genetics: a review of sample source, diet, fragment length and microsatellite motif effects on amplification success and genotyping error rates [PDF]
Noninvasive population genetics has found many applications in ecology and conservation biology. However, the technical difficulties inherent to the analysis of low quantities of DNA generally tend to limit the efficiency of this approach.
