Although predators influence behavior of prey, analyses of electronic tracking data in marine
environments rarely consider how predators affect the behavior of tracked animals. We …

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) occur in the eastern Canadian Arctic during the open-water
season, but their seasonal movements in Arctic waters and overall distribution are poorly …

Faecal material has increasingly become an important non-invasive source of DNA for wildlife
population genetics. However, DNA from faecal sources can have issues associated with …

Global climate change during the Late Pleistocene periodically encroached and then released
habitat during the glacial cycles, causing range expansions and contractions in some …

An intense public debate has fuelled governmental bans on marine mammals held in
zoological institutions. The debate rests on the assumption that survival in zoological institutions …

The killer whale (Orcinus orca (Linnaeus, 1758)) is a widely distributed marine predator with
a broad ecological niche at the species level with evidence of specialization and narrow …

This paper outlines a novel, non-invasive procedure to obtain DNA from Mexican tarantulas
(Brachypelma spp.) using exuvia. These species are important in the pet trade and species …

Climate-caused changes in prey abundance may alter predator–prey dynamics in the Arctic
food web. Lemmings (Dicrostonyx spp.) are important prey for Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) …

In April 2014, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC)
reviewed the status of caribou in the western mountains of Canada, in keeping with the ten-…
