Infanticide as sexual conflict: coevolution of male strategies and female counterstrategies
RA Palombit - Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in …, 2015 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
One of the earliest recognized forms of sexual conflict was infanticide by males, which
imposes serious costs on female reproductive success. Here I review two bodies of …

Inversely density-dependent natal dispersal in brown bears Ursus arctos
There is considerable controversy in the literature about the presence of density
dependence in dispersal. In this study, we exploit a data series from a long-term study (> 18 …

The power of genetic monitoring for studying demography, ecology and genetics of a reintroduced brown bear population
Genetic monitoring has rarely been used for wildlife translocations despite the potential
benefits this approach offers, compared to traditional field‐based methods. We applied …

Should I stay or should I go? Natal dispersal in the brown bear
We studied the causes of natal dispersal of male and female brown bears, Ursus arctos, in
two study areas in Sweden. Males had a higher dispersal probability (94%) than females …
