Increasingly, objectives for forests with moderate-or mixed-severity fire regimes are to
restore successionally diverse landscapes that are resistant and resilient to current and …

The past decade has seen an explosion in the development and application of models
aimed at estimating species occurrence and occupancy dynamics while accounting for …

With the advance of methods for estimating species distribution models has come an interest
in how to best combine datasets to improve estimates of species distributions. This has …

Ecologists routinely fit complex models with multiple parameters of interest, where hundreds
or more competing models are plausible. To limit the number of fitted models, ecologists …

Carnivore guilds play a vital role in ecological communities by cascading trophic effects,
energy and nutrient transfer, and stabilizing or destabilizing food webs. Consequently, the …

Changing climate will impact species' ranges only when environmental variability directly
impacts the demography of local populations. However, measurement of demographic …

Estimates of species' vital rates and an understanding of the factors affecting those
parameters over time and space can provide crucial information for management and …

The northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina) inhabits older coniferous forests in the
Pacific Northwest and has been at the center of forest management issues in this region …

Populations of bears in Asia are vulnerable to extinction and effective monitoring is critical to
measure and direct conservation efforts. Population abundance (local density) or growth (λ) …

The composition of local mammalian carnivore communities has far‐reaching effects on
terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. To better understand how carnivore communities are …
