Population census size (NC) and effective population sizes (N e) are two crucial parameters
that influence population viability, wildlife management decisions, and conservation …

Noninvasive genetic approaches continue to improve studies in molecular ecology,
conservation genetics and related disciplines such as forensics and epidemiology …

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

Population fragmentation compromises population viability, reduces a species ability to
respond to climate change, and ultimately may reduce biodiversity. We studied the current …

We investigated how landscape features influence gene flow of black bears by testing the
relative support for 36 alternative landscape resistance hypotheses, including isolation by …

Animals that must hunt and kill for at least part of their living are inherently interesting to
many people and the role that carnivores play in biological communities attract interest from …

Estimating population size and trends are key issues in the conservation and management
of large carnivores. The rebounding brown bear Ursus arctos population in Sweden is …

Roads can fragment and isolate wildlife populations, which will eventually decrease genetic
diversity within populations. Wildlife crossing structures may counteract these impacts, but …

ABSTRACT DNA‐based mark‐recapture has become a methodological cornerstone of
research focused on bear species. The objective of such studies is often to estimate …

We present the first rigorous estimate of grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) population density and
distribution in and around Glacier National Park (GNP), Montana, USA. We used genetic …
