DNA metabarcoding and video camera collars yield different inferences about the summer diet of an arctic ungulate

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The diets of wild ungulates are a foundational component of their ecology, influencing their behavior, body condition, and demography. With changing environmental conditions, there is a significant need to identify important forage items for ungulates, but this has often proved challenging.

Evaluating occurrence and abundance of displaying male American woodcock (Scolopax minor) north of the current Singing‐Ground Survey range

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 5, July 2025.
The American Woodcock Singing‐Ground Survey (SGS) may not cover all available woodcock breeding range, particularly in more northern regions. Using SGS data collected in Canada between 2000 and 2019, we evaluated the relationship between 16 landscape covariates and male woodcock occurrence and abundance and we developed a predictive map to identify ...

Who's the boss? Understanding the spatial relationship between snow leopard and Eurasian lynx in southern Mongolia

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.
Interspecific competition, a fundamental ecological process characterized by negative interactions between species, plays a vital role in shaping ecological communities. Despite the co‐occurrence of the snow leopard Panthera uncia and the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx across vast landscapes in Asia, their interactions remain poorly understood. In this study,

Alternative Hypotheses on Ecological Effects of Meningeal Parasite (Parelaphostrongylus tenuis) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
P. tenuis is a ubiquitous parasite of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) that can cause mortality in woodland caribou (Rangerifer tarandus) and moose (Alces alces). A hypothesis that P.

Managing Woodland Caribou in West-Central British Columbia

open access: yesRangifer, 1996
Initial long term planning for logging on the Tweedsmuir-Entiako caribou winter range began in the early 1980s. Because little information was available on which to base winter range management, the British Columbia Fish and Wildlife Branch began studies on radio-collared caribou in 1983, and an intensive study on caribou winter habitat requirements ...

Seasonal fine‐scale resource selection of elk in the central Appalachian Mountains

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 4, July 2025.
Resource selection by animals varies depending on spatial and temporal context, thus it is important to account for these factors when conducting studies that examine this behavior relative to the availability and distribution of resources. Many resource selection studies combine fine‐scale animal location data obtained using global positioning system (

Interactive effects of plant litter type and yak excrement on litter decomposition in a shrub‐encroached alpine meadow

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1799-1814, July 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In the plant community with a shrub–grass mosaic, the main types of litter include herbaceous litter and its mixed forms with shrub leaves and stems. However, the quantitative relationship between the litter composition type and the litter decomposition, as well as how ...
