Selective harvesting regimes are often implemented because age and sex classes
contribute differently to population dynamics and hunters show preferences associated with …

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

Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos L.) populations in Alberta are threatened by habitat loss and high
rates of human-caused mortality. Spatial depictions of fitness would greatly improve …

Models of population dynamics generally neglect the presence of males. While this
assumption holds under many circumstances, behavioural ecology increasingly tells us that …

Spacing patterns of large carnivores can affect demographic parameters of populations that,
in turn, influence effective population size. As a result, better understanding of spatial …

The growing complexity and global nature of wildlife poaching threaten the survival of many
species worldwide and are outpacing conservation efforts. Here, we reviewed proximal and …

Summary 1 In this review, we focus on how males can affect the population dynamics of
ungulates (i) by being a component of population density (and thereby affecting …

ABSTRACT 1 Research on mating systems and reproductive strategies is valuable for
providing ethological knowledge, important for the management and conservation of a …

As anthropogenic environmental changes spread and intensify across the planet,
conservation biologists have to analyze dynamics at large spatial and temporal scales …

The area in and around Banff National Park (BNP) in southwestern Alberta, Canada, is 1 of
the most heavily used and developed areas where grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) still exist …
