The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the number of studies dealing with the genetic
consequences of habitat fragmentation, in large part because of the increasing accessibility …

Expansion of human activities into large carnivore habitats and of large carnivore ranges
into anthropogenic settings increase the potential for human-wildlife conflicts. Future …

The status of many carnivore populations is of growing concern to scientists and
conservationists, making the need for data pertaining to carnivore distribution, abundance …

Population fragmentation compromises population viability, reduces a species ability to
respond to climate change, and ultimately may reduce biodiversity. We studied the current …

Understanding factors that influence and predict grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) distribution and
abundance is fundamental to their conservation. In southeast British Columbia, Canada, we …

One of the principal factors that have reduced grizzly bear populations has been the creation
of human access into grizzly bear habitat by roads built for resource extraction. Past studies …

Habitat loss and fragmentation can influence the genetic structure of biological populations.
We studied the genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation in Florida black bear (Ursus …

Corridors may mitigate the adverse effects of habitat fragmentation by restoring or
maintaining connectivity between disjunct populations. The efficacy of corridors for large …

La dispersion à la naissance est difficile à évaluer quantitativement et certains événements
qui ont lieu sur de grandes distances peuvent souvent passer inaperçus, ce qui fausse les …

We collected hair samples from bears and used microsatellite genotyping to identify
individual bears on three study areas near the Canadian Rocky Mountains. We estimated …
