Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 585-597, February 2026.Abstract Estimating demographic rates of wild populations is critical to understanding their dynamics but can be challenging because large amounts of data are required, and parts of the life cycle of individuals may be unobserved. In numerous research programmes, capture–recapture (CR) data and biologging data are collected in parallel.

No need to replace an “anomalous” primate (Primates) with an “anomalous” bear (Carnivora, Ursidae)
ZooKeys, 2015 By means of mitochondrial 12S rRNA sequencing of putative “yeti”, “bigfoot”, and other “anomalous primate” hair samples, a recent study concluded that two samples, presented as from the Himalayas, do not belong to an “anomalous primate”, but to an ...

State-space models' dirty little secrets: even simple linear Gaussian models can have estimation problems [PDF]
, 2016 State-space models (SSMs) are increasingly used in ecology to model time-series such as animal movement paths and population dynamics. This type of hierarchical model is often structured to account for two levels of variability: biological stochasticity ...

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

Developing Multi-Level Institutions from Top-Down Ancestors
International Journal of the Commons, 2007 The academic literature contains numerous examples of the failures of both top-down and bottom-up common pool resource management frameworks. Many authors agree that management regimes instead need to utilize a multi-level governance approach to meet ...

Efficacy of aerial forward-looking infrared surveys for detecting polar bear maternal dens.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Denned polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are invisible under the snow, therefore winter-time petroleum exploration and development activities in northern Alaska have potential to disturb maternal polar bears and their cubs.

Portable Electric Fencing for Bear Deterrence and Conservation
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2018 Although bear-inflicted (Ursus spp.) human fatalities are rare in North America, human injuries, property damage, and bear mortalities occur wherever bears and humans commingle.
