It is important to the conservation and management of threatened or endangered carnivores
to recognize interspecific interactions that can influence demography or behavior of the …

The wolverine is a relatively long lived mustelid species with low average annual
reproduction which in theory makes them sensitive to changes in survival rates. In a multi …

Although the effects of individual age, resource availability, and reproductive costs have
been extensively studied to understand the causes of variation in reproductive output, there …

The dynamics of an age-structured population in a fluctuating environment is determined by
the stochastic individual contributions from annual survival and fecundity to the total …

Noninvasive genetic monitoring has the potential to estimate vital rates essential for
conservation and management of many species. In a long-term genetic capture-mark …

Individuals' fidelity to an area provides insight into the stability of the spatial and temporal
organisation of animals. Territorial fidelity is often influenced by reproductive success, age …

Translocation of captive-bred animals has become a widespread conservation practice to
counteract species extinctions. We analyse and discuss the apparent success and …

We studied reproduction of 56 female wolverines (Gulo gulo) in 2 areas of northern
Scandinavia. Minimum average age at 1st reproduction was 3.4 years. Mean proportion of …

In marine and terrestrial ecosystems, organisms are affected by environmental variations
that cause fluctuations in population size. The harvest–interaction hypothesis predicts that …

Wildlife managers often rely on resource users, such as recreational or commercial hunters,
to achieve management goals. The use of hunters to control wildlife populations is …
