Genetic data are often used to assess 'population connectivity'because it is difficult to
measure dispersal directly at large spatial scales. Genetic connectivity, however, depends …

Human harvest of phenotypically desirable animals from wild populations imposes selection
that can reduce the frequencies of those desirable phenotypes. Hunting and fishing contrast …

The rediscovery of remnant Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi) in southern Florida
swamplands prompted a program to protect and stabilize the population. In 1995 …

Bat hunting for consumption as bushmeat and medicine is widespread and affects at least
167 species of bats (or c. 13% of the world's bat species), in Africa, Asia, across the islands …

Establishing species conservation priorities and recovery goals is often enhanced by
extinction risk estimates. The need to set goals, even in data-deficient situations, has …

The genomics revolution has sparked interest in using our increased understanding of the
loci involved in phenotypic variation and adaptation to advance the conservation of …

Despite decades of field research on greater sage‐grouse, range‐wide demographic data
have yet to be synthesized into a sensitivity analysis to guide management actions. We …

Although classical ecological theory (eg, on ideal free consumers) recognizes the potential
effect of population density on the spatial distribution of animals, empirical species …

Across Canada, woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) populations
are declining because of human-induced changes to food webs that are resulting in …

Nowhere across Canada is the continued persistence of woodland caribou (Rangifer
tarandus caribou (Gmelin, 1788)) more uncertain than in Alberta due to widespread …
