In order to properly manage urban moose (Alces alces) populations, managers need to know about their population size, survival, sex ratios and site fidelity. But this data could be hard to obtain, so in the featured article for this issue, researchers developed a new method for estimating these demographics using reports from the public and genetic mark-recapture data.
Other articles look at greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) seasonal habitat associations, pathogen spreading patterns in confiscated eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina), the success of using supplemental feeding for western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroi) and more.
