Recent studies suggest that vertebrate genetic material ingested by invertebrates (iDNA)
can be used to investigate vertebrate ecology. Given the ubiquity of invertebrates that feed …

The decreasing cost and increasing scope and power of emerging genomic technologies
are reshaping the field of molecular ecology. However, many modern genomic approaches …

Genetic monitoring has rarely been used for wildlife translocations despite the potential
benefits this approach offers, compared to traditional field‐based methods. We applied …

Traditional methods of monitoring gray wolves (Canis lupus) are expensive and invasive
and require extensive efforts to capture individual animals. Noninvasive genetic sampling …

DNA metabarcoding has become a powerful technique for identifying the species present in
a bulk environmental sample. The application of DNA metabarcoding to wildlife diet analysis …

Molecular identifications of salivary DNA are increasingly applied in wildlife forensic
investigations, and are successfully used to identify unknown livestock predators, or …

Natal dispersal promotes inter‐population linkage, and is key to spatial distribution of
populations. Degradation of suitable landscape structures beyond the specific threshold of …

Various monitoring methods have been developed for large carnivores, but not all are
practical or sufficiently accurate for long‐term monitoring over large spatial scales. From …

Studying the ecology and behavior of pack animals often requires that most, or all, of the
pack members are sampled. A unique opportunity to sample all gray wolf (Canis lupus) pack …

Resource pulses are ecologically important phenomenon that occur in most ecosystems
globally. Following optimal foraging theory, many consumers switch to pulsatile foods when …
