For wildlife inhabiting snowy environments, snow properties such as onset date, depth,
strength, and distribution can influence many aspects of ecology, including movement …

The importance of capturing wild animals for research and conservation projects is widely
shared. As this activity continues to become more common, the need to assess its negative …

Climate affects seasonality and plant phenology, which can influence seasonal body mass
