Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

Exposure of Wild Mammals to Influenza A(H5N1) Virus, Alaska, USA, 2020–2023

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases
Serum samples from wild mammals inhabiting Alaska, USA, showed that 4 species, including Ursus arctos bears and Vulpes vulpes foxes, were exposed to influenza A(H5N1) viruses.

Consumption of anthropogenic foods influences the nutritional and reproductive condition of hunter‐harvested black bears

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The consumption of human food subsidies influences ecological processes, and can affect individual behavior and fitness with population level changes in abundance and distribution. American black bears Ursus americanus often consume human food subsidies, which have been correlated with increased bear body size, age‐specific fertility and mortality ...

Predation by Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) at an Outdoor Piggery

open access: yesAnimals, 2016
Outdoor pig operations are an alternative to intensive systems of raising pigs; however for the majority of outdoor pork producers, issues of biosecurity and predation control require significant management and (or) capital investment.

Adaptive harvesting of two trophic levels stabilises predator–prey dynamics. Simulations with Eurasian lynx and European roe deer

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Europe has seen the recovery of many species of wild herbivores, which are now widespread across much of the continent. In addition, large carnivores are also recolonising many European countries. Most ungulates are managed through hunting, but natural predation can also have a significant influence in many areas.

Diet of the Red fox (<em>Vulpes vulpes</em>) in the Sibillini area (Central Apennines) / Dieta della Volpe (<em>Vulpes vulpes</em>) nell'area dei Monti Sibillini (Appennino centrale)

open access: yesHystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 1991
<strong>Abstract</strong> The Authors analyse the contents of 401 stomachs of foxes <em>Vulpes vulpes</em> (135 of which were empty) collected during the period 1971-74 in a mixed agriculture-pasture-woodland area.

Anecdotes or Ecological Patterns: Symbiotic Foraging Behaviors in Coyotes and Badgers 奇特模式还是生态格局: 郊狼与獾的共生觅食行为

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Using a 3‐year, broad‐scale camera‐trap network in western Kansas, we tested whether coyotes and American badgers exhibit spatiotemporal patterns consistent with coordinated hunting. Despite high diel activity overlap, detection‐conditioned co‐detections occurred far less frequently than expected under independence, and short‐term temporal sequencing ...

Foxes and food subsidies: anthropogenic food use by red and Arctic foxes, and effects on Arctic fox survival, on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013Food subsidies have the potential to impact wildlife on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska. Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes (L., 1758)) expanded their range into Arctic regions during the 20th century, and the ...

An Adaptive Threshold in Mammalian Neocortical Evolution

open access: yes, 2013
Expansion of the neocortex is a hallmark of human evolution. However, it remains an open question what adaptive mechanisms facilitated its expansion.
