In solitary carnivores, scent marking is an important form of communication among individuals.
We examined the extent of potential communication among ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) …

Four freshwater mussel species native to western North America, Gonidea angulata, Margaritifera
falcata, Anodonta nuttalliana, and Anodonta oregonensis, have experienced dramatic …

Kin selection theory predicts that under certain conditions animals will tolerate related
individuals in their home ranges. We examined the relationship between spatiotemporal overlap …

The North Slope of Alaska contains arctic fish populations that are important for subsistence
