Group life involves both advantages and disadvantages, meaning that individuals have to compromise between their nutritional needs and their social links. When a compromise is...

Top Models (ΔAIC≤2) to predict the odds of wildlife hunters killing large cervids in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada.

Statistical models used to determine the effects of various morphological features as well as parasitism and sex on SQPV exposure. All models used a binomial distribution and...

Carcass size categories are modified from Bunn [68] system for grouping osteological remains according to estimated live body weights of adult animals: size class 1 = 1000 kg....

Neotaphonomic studies of large carnivores are used to create models in order to explain the formation of terrestrial vertebrate fossil faunas. The research reported here adds to...
