DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5134
Abstract: Abstract Aerial distance sampling of bears to estimate population size has been used throughout many parts of Alaska. The distance sampling models are complex since they need to account for undetected bears and differences in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5139
Abstract: Abstract To successfully perform their long‐distance migrations, migratory birds require sites along their migratory routes to rest and refuel. Monitoring the use of so‐called stopover and staging sites provides insights into (a) the timing of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1747
Abstract: Estimating density and population size is often more challenging than measuring indices of abundance because of uncertainty about the effective area of surveys. We combined hierarchical modeling of detection/non-detection data from camera stations with auxiliary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3024
Abstract: Individual variation in reproductive ability is a key component of natural selection within populations, driving the evolution of life histories and population responses to changing environmental conditions. Evidence that population density affects individual-level fitness in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10592-017-0948-4
Abstract: Reintroductions—captive-born animals introduced into the species’ original distribution area—and translocations—free-living animals transferred to another location within the historical distribution area—are important conservation strategies for endangered species. Genetic analyses of 239 individuals from unmanaged, translocated and… read more here.
