The oil and gas industry has grown significantly throughout the boreal and arctic ecosystems
of North America. A major feature of the ecological footprint of oil and gas exploration is …

Predators affect prey by killing them directly (lethal effects) and by inducing costly
antipredator behaviours in living prey (risk effects). Risk effects can strongly influence prey …

Predation by grey wolves Canis lupus has been identified as an important cause of boreal
woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus caribou mortality, and it has been hypothesized that …

Abundance and density estimates are central to the field of ecology and are an important
component of wildlife management. While many methods exist to estimate abundance from …

Adaptive management is a powerful means of learning about complex ecosystems, but is
rarely used for recovering endangered species. Here, we demonstrate how it can benefit …

Rapid landscape alteration associated with human activity is currently challenging the
evolved dynamical stability of many predator–prey systems by forcing species to …

Multi‐scale resource selection modeling is used to identify factors that limit species
distributions across scales of space and time. This multi‐scale nature of habitat suitability …

Recent studies uncover cascading ecological effects resulting from removing and
reintroducing predators into a landscape, but little is known about effects on human lives …

Awareness of the impact of the global energy industry and associated landuse change on
biodiversity conservation has been steadily growing amongst conservation biologists …

Roads have numerous negative impacts for mammals, but may also serve as attractants due
to altered vegetation or provisioning of resources. We reviewed the use of roads and their …
