Detection in studies of species abundance and distribution is often imperfect. Assuming
perfect detection introduces bias into estimation that can weaken inference upon which …

Population census size (NC) and effective population sizes (N e) are two crucial parameters
that influence population viability, wildlife management decisions, and conservation …

The status of many carnivore populations is of growing concern to scientists and
conservationists, making the need for data pertaining to carnivore distribution, abundance …

Grizzly bears (brown bears; Ursus arctos) are imperiled in the southern extent of their range
worldwide. The threatened population in northwestern Montana, USA, has been managed …

Habitat choice is an evolutionary product of animals experiencing increased fitness when
preferentially occupying high‐quality habitat. However, an ecological trap (ET) can occur …

Estimating population size and trends are key issues in the conservation and management
of large carnivores. The rebounding brown bear Ursus arctos population in Sweden is …

ABSTRACT DNA‐based mark‐recapture has become a methodological cornerstone of
research focused on bear species. The objective of such studies is often to estimate …

Animals that must hunt and kill for at least part of their living are inherently interesting to
many people and the role that carnivores play in biological communities attract interest from …

We present the first rigorous estimate of grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) population density and
distribution in and around Glacier National Park (GNP), Montana, USA. We used genetic …

Political borders dictate how biological diversity is monitored and managed, yet wild animals
often move freely between jurisdictions. We quantified bias in brown bear (Ursus arctos) …
