Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal transmissible spongiform encephalopathy
affecting white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) …

Estimating habitat and spatial associations for wildlife is common across ecological studies
and it is well known that individual traits can drive population dynamics and vice versa …

Wildfires are increasing in size, frequency and severity due to climate change and fire
suppression, but the direct and indirect effects on wildlife remain largely unresolved. Fire …

A relationship between winter weather and survival of northern ungulates has long been
established, yet the possible roles of biological (eg, nutritional status) and environmental …

The glacial cycles of the Quaternary heavily impacted species through successions of
population contractions and expansions. Similarly, populations have been intensely shaped …

Individual animals strive to maximize fitness by gaining access to food while minimizing
predation risk, and spatial knowledge of both forage resources and predation risks has long …

Land‐use change due to anthropogenic development is pervasive across the globe and
commonly associated with negative consequences for biodiversity. While land‐use change …

Neonate survival is a key life history trait, yet remains challenging to measure in wild
populations because neonates can be difficult to capture at birth. Estimates of survival from …
