DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10100
Abstract: Abstract Human demographic expansion has confined wildlife to fragmented habitats, often in proximity to human‐modified landscapes. Such interfaces facilitate increased interactions between feral or domesticated animals and wildlife, posing a high risk to wild species.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8875
Abstract: Abstract Understanding the types and magnitude of human‐caused mortality is essential for maintaining viable large carnivore populations. We used a database of cause‐specific mortality to examine how hunting regulations and landscape configurations influenced human‐caused mortality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8921
Abstract: Abstract The recovery of terrestrial carnivores in Europe is a conservation success story. Initiatives focused on restoring top predators require information on how resident species may interact with the re‐introduced species as their interactions have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9648
Abstract: Abstract Although wolves are wide‐ranging generalist carnivores throughout their life cycle, during the pup‐rearing season wolf activity is focused on natal den sites where pup survival depends upon pack members provisioning food. Because prey availability… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9701
Abstract: Abstract Wolf spiders are typically the most common group of arthropod predators on both lake and marine shorelines because of the high prey availability in these habitats. However, shores are also harsh environments due to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.3164
Abstract: Understanding the behavioral responses of large carnivores to human activity in protected areas is important for conserving top predators. Roads and associated vehicle traffic have a range of impacts on wildlife, including mortality from vehicle… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jwmg.21209
Abstract: Understanding the limiting factors of a prey population is important before and during predator control programs, and optimal intensive management of an increasing prey population requires formal recognition of a sustainable population size. The migratory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/wsb.844
Abstract: Wolf (Canis lupus) and moose (Alces americanus) populations in northeastern Minnesota, USA, have fluctuated for decades and, based on helicopter counts, moose numbers declined to a new low from 2006 to about 2012. Other steep… read more here.
