Ancient DNA research has been revolutionized following development of next-generation
sequencing platforms. Although a number of such platforms have been applied to ancient …

Diet studies are frequently used to improve understanding of predator ecology, potential
effects of carnivores on prey populations, and competition among predators. However, field …

Understanding the drivers of population dynamics informs management actions and assures
the public that harvest activities are not detrimental to the long-term stability of wildlife …

Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models have emerged as a robust method to estimate the
population density of mobile animals. However, model evaluation has generally been based …

Population density estimates are necessary to inform management and conservation, yet
are difficult to obtain for cryptic species such as carnivores, and often require intensive …

Previous studies have posited the use of acoustics-based surveys to monitor population size
and estimate their density. However, decreasing the bias in population estimations, such as …

Asian elephants are endangered while they have faced~ 70% population decline in India in
the last 60 years. Climate change projections indicate exacerbation of ongoing habitat loss …

Migratory, long‐lived animals are an important focus for life‐history theory because they
manifest extreme trade‐offs in life‐history traits: delayed maturity, low fecundity, variable …

Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models have become the preferred tool for estimating
densities of carnivores. Within this family of models are variants requiring identification of all …

Human development has major implications for wildlife populations. Urban-exploiter species
can benefit from human subsidized resources, whereas urban-avoider species can vanish …
