Human disturbance has contrasting effects on niche partitioning within carnivore communities
Among species, coexistence is driven partly by the partitioning of available resources. The
mechanisms of coexistence and competition among species have been a central topic …

Evaluating effective population size and genetic diversity of a declining kit fox population using contemporary and historical specimens
Loss of genetic diversity has serious conservation consequences (eg, loss of adaptive
potential, reduced population viability), but is difficult to evaluate without developing long …
