Infectious disease contributed to historical declines and extirpations of bighorn sheep (Ovis
canadensis) in North America and continues to impede population restoration and …

Mammals are imperiled worldwide, primarily from habitat loss or modification, and exhibit
downward trends in their populations and distributions. Likewise, large-bodied herbivores …

Chronic pathogen carriage is one mechanism that allows diseases to persist in populations.
We hypothesized that persistent or recurrent pneumonia in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) …

Introduction Throughout their range, bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) populations have
seen significant disease-associated declines. Unfortunately, understanding of the …

Understanding how variation in vital rates interact to shape the trajectories of populations
has long been understood to be a critical component of informed management and …

Determining the demographic impacts of wildlife disease is complex because extrinsic and
intrinsic drivers of survival, reproduction, body condition, and other factors that may interact …

Wildlife conservation often focuses on mitigating disturbance in critical habitats like
reproductive ranges. We studied lambing and nursery habitat selection by Stone's sheep …

Recent recolonization of mountain lions (Puma concolor) into the Little Missouri Badlands of
