Anthropogenic subsidies influence resource use during a mange epizootic in a desert coyote population Anthropogenic subsidies influence resource use during a mange epizootic in a desert coyote population
Colonization of urban areas by synanthropic wildlife introduces novel and complex alterations to established ecological processes, including the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. Aggregation at urban resources can increase disease transfer, with wide-ranging species potentially infecting outlying populations. The garrison at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, California...

Ungulate migrations of the western United States, volume 3 Ungulate migrations of the western United States, volume 3
Ungulates (hooved mammals) have a broad distribution across the western United States and play an important role in maintaining predator-prey dynamics, affecting vegetation communities, and providing economic benefits to regional communities through tourism and hunting. Throughout the diverse landscapes they occupy, many ungulate populations undertake seasonal migrations to exploit...

Pleistocene–Holocene vicariance, not Anthropocene landscape change, explains the genetic structure of American black bear (Ursus americanus) populations in the American Southwest and northern Mexico Pleistocene–Holocene vicariance, not Anthropocene landscape change, explains the genetic structure of American black bear (Ursus americanus) populations in the American Southwest and northern Mexico
The phylogeography of the American black bear (Ursus americanus) is characterized by isolation into glacial refugia, followed by population expansion and genetic admixture. Anthropogenic activities, including overharvest, habitat loss, and transportation infrastructure, have also influenced their landscape genetic structure. We describe the genetic structure of the American black bear in...

The abundance and persistence of Caprinae populations The abundance and persistence of Caprinae populations
Stable or growing populations may go extinct when their sizes cannot withstand large swings in temporal variation and stochastic forces. Hence, the minimum abundance threshold defining when populations can persist without human intervention forms a key conservation parameter. We identify this threshold for many populations of Caprinae, typically threatened species lacking demographic...

Whooping and sandhill cranes visit upland ponds proportional to migration phenology on the Texas coast Whooping and sandhill cranes visit upland ponds proportional to migration phenology on the Texas coast
Two crane species, whooping cranes (Grus americana) and sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis), overwinter along the Texas Gulf Coast. Periodic, extreme drought conditions have prompted concerns that potential freshwater limitations could hinder conservation of cranes, especially endangered whooping cranes. In response, land managers constructed and maintained freshwater ponds in upland...
