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

Although the main theoretical framework determining how to exploit populations was
derived almost 50 years ago, overexploitation is common. I review 10 major concepts …

Over-exploitation and subsequent collapse of marine fishes has focused attention on the
ability of affected populations to recover to former abundance levels,, and on the degree to …

Noninvasive genetic methods can be used to estimate animal abundances and offer several
advantages over conventional methods. Few attempts have been made, however, to …

1. The distribution of brown bears (Ursus arctos L.) expanding into suitable habitat in
Sweden following near extermination was estimated using harvest data from the period …

Causes of mortality were described for 245 radio-marked Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in five
different Scandinavian study areas. Furthermore, the survival rates and the population …

As some of our British parks are ancient, it occurred to me that there must have been long-
continued close interbreeding with the fallow-deer (Cervus dama) kept in them; but on …

The seasonal food habits of brown bears Ursus arctos were estimated based on the analysis
of 266 scats in central Norway and Sweden. Free‐ranging domestic sheep Ovis aries were …

During the past 2 decades, the grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) population in the Greater
Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) has increased in numbers and expanded in range …

There is considerable controversy in the literature about the presence of density
dependence in dispersal. In this study, we exploit a data series from a long-term study (> 18 …
