Abstract Expanding human development and climate change are dramatically altering habitat conditions for wildlife. While the initial response of wildlife to changing environmental is typically a shift in behaviour, little known about effects these stressors on hibernation an important life‐history trait that can subsequently affect animal physiology, demography, interspecific interactions human‐wildlife interactions. Given future trajectories land use change, it professionals understand how...
Social animals make behavioural decisions based on local habitat and conspecifics, as well memorized past experience (i.e. 'familiarity') with conspecifics. Here, we develop a conceptual empirical understanding of how spatial social familiarity fit within the spatial-social interface-a novel framework integrating components animal behaviour. We conducted multi-scale analysis movements GPS-collared plains bison (
Abstract Climate warming creates energetic challenges for endothermic species by increasing metabolic and hydric costs of thermoregulation. Although endotherms can invoke an array behavioural physiological strategies maintaining homeostasis, the relative effectiveness those in a climate that is becoming both warmer drier not well understood. In accordance with heat dissipation limit theory which suggests allocation energy to growth reproduction constrained ability dissipate heat, we expected...
ABSTRACT Information garnered from the capture and handling of free‐ranging animals helps advance understanding wildlife ecology can aid in decisions on management. Unfortunately, may experience increased levels stress, injuries, death resulting captures (e.g., exertional myopathy, trauma). Partial sedation is a technique proposed to alleviate stress during capture, yet efficacy partial for reducing promoting survival post‐capture remains unclear. We evaluated effects physiological,...
Mexican wolves (Canis lupus baileyi) share their range with a number of sympatric carnivores, many which are concern to livestock producers because they can prey on livestock. Determining predator species is responsible for killing important determining appropriate management actions and the conservation wolves. A variety information be used decipher carnivore was making kill, mandibular (upper) maxillary (lower) intercanine width measurements (i.e., bite mark analysis) aid this process. No...
Abstract Reintroduction programs have increased amid unprecedented biodiversity loss, yet the success of these lag. A prominent reason for program failure is dispersal beyond planned range population. Management techniques, such as hazing, can be used to prevent movement set boundaries, but effective long‐term, animals must learn avoid areas where they are hazed. Although concepts animal learning been improve reintroduction programs, not often explicitly tested or an indicator success. We a...
Abstract Elucidating factors that contribute to citation rates of scientific articles can help scientists write manuscripts have a stronger influence on their field and are accessible broad audience. Using cohort 778 published in The Journal Wildlife Management from 2011–2015, we examined how visibility strategies, article structure, focal system (all authors predominantly control) influenced the accumulation citations over various time frames within first 5 years after publication, number...
