Wildlife managers are often asking for reliable information of population density across
larger spatial scales. In this study, we examined the spatiotemporal relationships between …

Given recent and abrupt declines in the abundance of moose (Alces alces) throughout parts
of Minnesota and elsewhere in North America, accurately estimating statewide population …

Background Wildlife populations are difficult to monitor directly because of costs and
logistical challenges associated with collecting informative abundance data from live …

Delineation of management units for harvested wildlife should strive to maximize
homogeneity within each unit subject to constraints imposed by geography and …

Density-dependent behavior underpins white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) theory
and management application in North America, but strength or frequency of the …

The sex‐age‐kill (SAK) model is widely used to estimate abundance of harvested large
mammals, including white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Despite a long history of …

Interspecific competition is widely considered a powerful process underlying species
coexistence and ecological community structure. Although coexistence theory predicts …

Statistical population reconstruction (SPR) models have emerged as a robust and versatile
framework for estimating the demographic dynamics of harvested wildlife populations using …

Statistical population reconstruction offers a robust approach to demographic assessment
for harvested populations, but current methods are restricted to big‐game species with …

Estimating the dynamics of furbearer populations is challenging because their elusive
behavior and low densities make observations difficult. Statistical population reconstruction …
