DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70346
Abstract: Abstract Habitat selection is a critical aspect of a species' ecology, requiring complex decision‐making that is both hierarchical and scale‐dependent, since factors that influence selection may be nested or unequal across scales. Elk (Cervus canadensis)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4255
Abstract: To manage predation risk, prey navigate a dynamic landscape of fear, or spatiotemporal variation in risk perception, reflecting predator distributions, traits, and activity cycles. Prey may seek to reduce risk across this landscape using habitat… read more here.

Drivers of spring migration phenology in Rocky Mountain elk
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-91947-4
Abstract: By migrating, ungulates take advantage of cyclical fluctuations in resources, which allows them to persist at greater population numbers than they would in the absence of these seasonal movements. We sought to identify the drivers… read more here.

Sustainable elk harvests in Alberta with increasing predator populations
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLOS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0269407
Abstract: Large predators often are believed to cause declines in hunter harvests of ungulates due to direct competition for prey with hunters. In Alberta, predators of elk (Cervus elaphus), including grizzly bear (Ursus arctos), cougar (Puma… read more here.

DOI: 10.2981/wlb.00596
Abstract: While the harvest success rate of bull elk in Nebraska has been relatively high in recent years, antlerless harvest success is substantially lower inhibiting the ability of wildlife managers to effectively manage population numbers. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.7589/2017-06-132
Abstract: Abstract: Previous studies demonstrated that nalbuphine, medetomidine, and azaperone (NalMed-A) can effectively immobilize adult elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni), and be antagonized using naltrexone and atipamezole, with or without tolazoline. To assess duration of tissue residues… read more here.
