Denning chronology in an Arctic brown bear population
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Denning is a critical behavioral adaptation for brown bears Ursus arctos to cope with winter, a period of extended resource scarcity. Bears reduce their body temperature, heart rate, and metabolism during this time to minimize energy expenditures. The Arctic has among the most pronounced and longest period of resource scarcity. Thus, we predicted bears

Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Most ungulate populations are regulated by hunting, and harvest rate is regulated through quotas and hunting season duration. Hunting is well known to affect behaviour of ungulates, but how annual variation in quotas and hunting season duration affects individual behaviour remains uncertain.

Mating strategies of woodland caribou: Rangifer tarandus caribou
, 1986 Mating behavior of woodland caribou, Rangifer tarandus caribou, was studied in populations from contrasting environments that were expected to influence reproductive tactics. A small population of caribou on Brunette Island (Newfoundland) lived at high density in mostly open habitat, without predators.

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range
Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Spatial patterning of prey at reproduction to reduce predation risk: what drives dispersion from groups? [PDF]
, 2016 Group living is a widespread behavior thought to be an evolutionary adaptation for reducing predation risk. Many group-living species, however, spend a portion of their life cycle as dispersed individuals, suggesting that the costs and benefits of these ...

Food Subsidies Reduce Livestock Depredations by a Recovering Carnivore
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Diversionary feeding—providing food caches to divert predators away from preying on livestock—is a strategy to reduce depredations by Mexican gray wolves but has not been evaluated for its effectiveness. We used data from the Mexican wolf recovery program from 2014‐2021 to evaluate whether diversionary feeding reduced livestock depredations by wolf ...

Antipode, EarlyView.Abstract This paper examines why, despite greater numbers of youth out‐migration, connections to rural land remain strong for young people in a remote farming village on Flores Island, Indonesia. Following recent geographic work on the development of rural young people's aspirations and how the imaginings of “elsewhere” support navigational practices ...
