Prey must balance resource acquisition with predator avoidance for survival and
reproduction. To reduce risk of predation, prey may avoid areas with high predator use, but if …

Access to salmon resources is vital to coastal brown bear (Ursus arctos) populations.
Deciphering patterns of travel allowing coastal brown bears to exploit salmon resources …

Ungulates are key components of ecosystems due to their effects on lower trophic levels,
role as prey, and value for recreational and subsistence harvests. Understanding factors that …

One of the most difficult challenges for wildlife managers is reliably estimating wildlife
populations. Camera traps combined with spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are a …

Telemetry studies allow scientists to track animal movements and study species ecology
without direct visual observation. Fitting telemetry devices requires physical or chemical …

Within optimal foraging theory animals should maximize their net energy gain while
minimizing energetic costs. Energetic expenditure in wild animals is therefore key to …

The parallel niche release hypothesis (PNR) indicates that reduced competition with
dominant competitors results in greater density and niche breadth of subordinate …
