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.

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 ...

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,

Managing Woodland Caribou in West-Central British Columbia
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
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 (

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 ...
