Accurate analyses of the diets of predators are key to understand trophic interactions and
defining conservation strategies. Diets are commonly assessed through analysis of non …

The decreasing cost and increasing scope and power of emerging genomic technologies
are resha** the field of molecular ecology. However, many modern genomic approaches …

Whole‐genome sequencing is revolutionizing our understanding of organismal biology,
including adaptations likely to influence demographic performance in different …

After centuries of population decline and range contraction, gray wolves (Canis lupus) are
now expanding in Europe. Understanding wolf social structure and population dynamics …

The importance of individuals to the dynamics of populations may depend on reproductive
status, especially for species with complex social structure. Loss of reproductive individuals …

Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) is an increasingly popular method for estimating ecological
parameters. SCR often relies on data collected over relatively long sampling periods. While …

Resource pulses are ecologically important phenomenon that occur in most ecosystems
globally. Following optimal foraging theory, many consumers switch to pulsatile foods when …

Estimating coyote (Canis latrans) density and other demographic parameters is difficult,
particularly for populations that exist at low density. This is the situation for recently …

Various monitoring methods have been developed for large carnivores, but not all are
practical or sufficiently accurate for long‐term monitoring over large spatial scales. From …

Despite severe population declines and an overall range contraction, some populations of
large carnivores have managed to survive in human‐modified landscapes. From a …
