Lyme borreliosis is rapidly emerging in Canada, and climate change is likely a key driver of
the northern spread of the disease in North America. We used field and modeling …

Least-cost modelling and circuit theory are common analogs used in ecology and evolution
to model gene flow or animal movement across landscapes. Least-cost modelling estimates …

Background Habitat fragmentation reduces genetic connectivity for multiple species, yet
conservation efforts tend to rely heavily on single-species connectivity estimates to inform land-…

Recent assertions in the literature (eg, Keller et al. 2015 ) suggest that landscape genetic
research has been infrequently applied by practitioners. We were interested to test this …

Harvest records suggest that the abundance of bobcats (Lynx rufus) has increased and the
leading edge of their distribution has spread northward, while the trailing edge of the Canada …

The Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis) and the bobcat (Lynx rufus) are closely related species
with overlap at their range peripheries, but the factors that limit each species and the …

The Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River are imposing barriers for wildlife, and the additive
effect of urban and agricultural development that dominates the lower Great Lakes region …

Purpose The white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) is an important reservoir host for
the pathogen responsible for Lyme disease in eastern North-America. Indigenous cases of …

Reliable estimates of population density are fundamental for managing and conserving
wildlife. Spatially explicit capture–recapture (SECR) models in combination with information‐…

Landscape structure affects animal movement. Differences between landscapes may
induce heterogeneity in home range size and movement rates among individuals within a …
