Increasing and declining population of northern bobwhites inhabit different types of landscapes
Article Abstract:
The National Resource Inventory, a geographically extensive and intensive database on land cover and use, is used to characterize the composition and heterogeneity of landscapes inhabited by bobwhites populations that have been increasing, decreasing, or become locally extinct. The results do not point to a single universal explanation for bobwhites declines, but they do clearly show that declining populations inhabit local landscapes that on average are very different from those occupied by increasing population.

Cougar exploitation levels in Utah: Implications for demographic structure, population recovery, and metapopulation dynamics
Article Abstract:
The impact of exploitation on cougar population dynamics by comparing demographic characteristics between an exploited and semi protected population were assessed at Monroe in south-central Utah and in Oquirrh Mountains of north-central Utah. Results show that harvest exceeding 40 percent of the population sustained for more than or equal to 4 years can have significant impacts.
