Human disturbance in riparian areas disrupts predator–prey interactions between grizzly bears and salmon Open
Wildlife must increasingly balance trade‐offs between the need to access important foods and the mortality risks associated with human‐dominated landscapes. Human disturbance can profoundly influence wildlife behavior, but managers know li…

Genetic evidence to inform management of rare genetic variants and gene flow: Balancing the conservation of the rare “Spirit bear” allele and population genetic diversity across a complex landscape Open
Incorporating genetic considerations into wildlife management can require balancing the conservation of rare genetic variants with the maintenance of gene flow. One system illustrating such trade‐offs is coastal British Columbia, Canada, w…

Quantifying regional patterns of collapse in British Columbia Central Coast chum salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus keta</i>) populations since 1960 Open
In recent decades, chum salmon ( Oncorhynchus keta) on the Central and North Coasts of British Columbia have experienced increasing variability and declining abundance. Chum are targeted by mixed-stock commercial fisheries despite declinin…

Indigenous peoples as sentinels of change in human‐wildlife relationships: Conservation status of mountain goats in Kitasoo Xai'xais territory and beyond Open
Local people can act as sentinels for change, especially for wildlife populations not monitored by centralized governments. Responding to concern expressed by the Kitasoo Xai'xais (KX) First Nation over a decline in mountain goat ( Oreamno…

Decolonial Model of Environmental Management and Conservation: Insights from Indigenous-led Grizzly Bear Stewardship in the Great Bear Rainforest Open
Global biodiversity declines are increasingly recognized as profound ecological and social crises. In areas subject to colonialization, these declines have advanced in lockstep with settler colonialism and imposition of centralized resourc…
View article: Intrapopulation foraging niche variation between phenotypes and genotypes of Spirit bear populations
Intrapopulation foraging niche variation between phenotypes and genotypes of Spirit bear populations Open
Foraging niche variation within a species can contribute to the maintenance of phenotypic diversity. The multiniche model posits that phenotypes occupying different niches can contribute to the maintenance of balanced polymorphisms. Using …

Combining high-resolution remotely sensed data with local and Indigenous Knowledge to model the landscape suitability of culturally modified trees: biocultural stewardship in Kitasoo/Xai’xais Territory Open
Environmental management and monitoring must reconcile social and cultural objectives with biodiversity stewardship to overcome political barriers to conservation. Suitability modelling offers a powerful tool for such “biocultural” approac…
View article: Convergent geographic patterns between grizzly bear population genetic structure and Indigenous language groups in coastal British Columbia, Canada
Convergent geographic patterns between grizzly bear population genetic structure and Indigenous language groups in coastal British Columbia, Canada Open
Landscape genetic analyses of wildlife populations can exclude variation in a broad suite of potential spatiotemporal correlates, including consideration of how such variation might have similarly influenced people over time. Grizzly bear …

Indigenous Systems of Management for Culturally and Ecologically Resilient Pacific Salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus</i>spp.) Fisheries Open
Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) are at the center of social–ecological systems that have supported Indigenous peoples around the North Pacific Rim since time immemorial. Through generations of interdependence with salmon, Indigenous Peo…

Spatial patterns and rarity of the white‐phased ‘Spirit bear’ allele reveal gaps in habitat protection Open
1. Preserving genetic and phenotypic diversity can help safeguard not only biodiversity but also cultural and economic values. 2. Here, we present data that emerged from Indigenous‐led research at the intersection of evolution and ecology …

Raising the bar: Recovery ambition for species at risk in Canada and the US Open
Routinely crossing international borders and/or persisting in populations across multiple countries, species are commonly subject to a patchwork of endangered species legislation. Canada and the United States share numerous endangered spec…

Salmonid species diversity predicts salmon consumption by terrestrial wildlife Open
Resource waves—spatial variation in resource phenology that extends feeding opportunities for mobile consumers—can affect the behaviour and productivity of recipient populations. Interspecific diversity among Pacific salmon species ( Oncor…

Biocultural indicators to support locally led environmental management and monitoring Open
Environmental management (EM) requires indicators to inform objectives and monitor the impacts or efficacy of management practices. One common approach uses "functional ecological" indicators, which are typically species whose presence or …

Intrapopulation diversity in isotopic niche over landscapes: Spatial patterns inform conservation of bear–salmon systems Open
Intrapopulation variability in resource acquisition (i.e., niche variation) influences population dynamics, with important implications for conservation planning. Spatial analyses of niche variation within and among populations can provide…
