Playing with fire: Wolf response to active wildfires, fire fronts and smoke

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study is one of the first, to our knowledge, to explicitly examine fine‐scale behavioural responses of a large carnivore to actively burning wildfires, fire fronts and smoke. The study found that wolves balanced the potential risks and benefits associated with wildfires, with implications for predator–prey dynamics in fire‐prone regions.

Burned habitats facilitate predation and lead to long‐term reductions in prey success

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
By evaluating the effects of burned habitats on the habitat selection and movement responses of cougars and mule deer, cougar kill sites, and mule deer reproduction, the authors find that increasingly large, severe burns are diminishing herbivore reproductive success, potentially due to advantages for predators created by burned landscapes.

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

Comparison of seasonal habitat selection between threatened woodland caribou ecotypes in central British Columbia

open access: yesRangifer, 2007
Woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) in British Columbia have been classified into ecotypes based on differences in use of habitat in winter. Although recovery planning focuses on ecotypes, habitat use and selection varies within ecotypes.
