TL;DR: It is demonstrated how earlier emergence from hibernation and earlier weaning of young has led to a longer growing season and larger body masses before hibernation, and this helps explain how a shift in phenology can cause simultaneous phenotypic and demographic changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used telemetry data for 64 lynx monitored during 1998-2007 to create a broad-scale resource selection model that predicted probable lynx habitat across the species' distribution in the Northern Rocky Mountains.

TL;DR: It is found that, in yellow‐bellied marmots (Marmota flaviventris), the heritability of locomotor ability, and especially vigilance, is low, and these modest heritability estimates suggest great environmental variation or a history of directional selection eliminating genetic variation in these traits.

TL;DR: It is inferred that complex coalitions may be the product of social factors that reduce female monopolizability and encourage the aggregation of multiple males.

TL;DR: Assessment of the conceptual and statistical foundations of methods currently used to model functional responses and the ecological tests evaluated within each approach helps clarify the similarities and differences among current approaches and, therefore, assists the integration of functional responses into the mainstream of habitat ecology and management.
