TL;DR: The data show that for each level of f, it was the most heterozygous wolves that established themselves as breeders, a selection process that seems to have decelerated the loss of heterozygosity in the population despite a steady increase of f.

TL;DR: Wolves have adapted to use roads for ease of travel, but at the same time developed a cryptic behavior to avoid human encounters, which emphasizes the role of roads as a potential cause of increased human-caused mortality.

TL;DR: It is shown that hunting success of re-colonizing wolves on moose in Scandinavia was higher than reported in North America, and no evidence that moose expressed behavioural adjustments that lowered the HS of wolves in territories that had been occupied by wolves for up to 21 years is found.

TL;DR: This study is one of the first to quantify and compare the reproductive success of first‐generation offspring from migrants vs. native, inbred individuals in a natural population and argues that inbreeding depression is the underlying mechanism for the profound difference in breeding success.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used survival and reproduction data from radio-marked lynx from three Scandinavian study areas, and simulated the lynx population structure in February, showing that the average proportions of family groups out of all independent individuals were 21% ± 2.
