When African swine fever wiped out wild boar (Sus scrofa) populations in the southern Russian Far East, their primary predators, Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), faced a problem—they were out of food. In the featured article for this issue, researchers looked at the effect of the disease on the northernmost Amur tiger subpopulation and found that human-tiger conflicts increased and there were more emaciated individuals.
Other articles look at spatial variation in wood duck demography, a portable structure for identifying wolverines (Gulo gulo) and Canada lynx (Lynx canadensis), sea otter (Enhydra lutris) interaction with oyster farms and more.
