Carnivore ecologists globally have eagerly embraced the remarkable advances in field techniques (eg GPS telemetry, genetic sampling) for studying movements and vital rates of wide-ranging species. However, equally impressive modelling tools also exist – but are less often used -- to illuminate practical management recommendations by marrying genetic and demographic outcomes of connectivity and harvest. I will focus on two related areas that demonstrate practical outcomes at the genetic – demographic interface, using examples from carnivores in North America and Scandinavia. First, genetic rules of thumb such as “One Migrant Per Generation” (OMPG) are best interpreted in a demographic context. Of course, this means that an immigrant serves as a ‘genetic migrant’ only if it breeds. However, a less recognized corollary is that the demographic costs and benefits of a given level of gene flow (e.g. OMPG) depend on life history traits such as population growth rate. Second, I will assert that among population connectivity can affect population growth rate more than within-population vital rates. This somewhat non-intuitive principle has substantial implications for managing wide-ranging species because it means that conventional management to improve population trends within a country may be less important to population persistence than management on or across administrative or national borders. Just as sophisticated cutting-edge tools have emerged to estimate movements and vital rates, tools also exist to integrate genetic and demographic processes in powerful new ways.

National and transboundary perspectives of large carnivore conservation and management in Norway
Sahlén, Veronica; Hanssen, Susanne K.; Bø, Terje; Vangen, Knut Morten (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Norway shares its populations of lynx (Lynx lynx), wolverine (Gulo gulo), brown bear (Ursus arctos), grey wolf (Canis lupus) and Golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) with mainly Sweden, but also Finland and Russia. Norway and ... -
National and transboundary perspectives of large carnivore conservation and management in Finland
Kojola, Ilpo; Norberg, Harri; Härkönen, Sauli (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Finland’s large carnivore (LC) populations have been increasing and expanding during the last 20 years; brown bear and wolverine populations have doubled, and populations of Eurasian lynx and grey wolf many-folded. However, ... -
Connectivity Conservation of Large Carnivores' Habitats in the Carpathians
Romportl, Dušan; Zyka, Vladimír; Kutal, Miroslav (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The Carpathian Mountains forming an arc roughly 1.500 km across seven states provide the habitat for some of the largest European populations of brown bears, grey wolves and Eurasian lynx, with the highest concentration ... -
Atlantic cod recovery from the Allee effect zone : contrasting ecological and evolutionary rescue
Kuparinen, Anna; Uusi-Heikkilä, Silva (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)The ability of a population to recover from disturbances is fundamental for its persistence. Impaired population recovery might be associated with a demographic Allee effect. Immigration from adjacent populations could ... -
Methodological Considerations for Studies in Sport and Exercise Science with Women as Participants : A Working Guide for Standards of Practice for Research on Women
Elliott-Sale, Kirsty J.; Minahan, Clare L.; Janse de Jonge, Xanne A. K.; Ackerman, Kathryn E.; Sipilä, Sarianna; Constantini, Naama W.; Lebrun, Constance M.; Hackney, Anthony C. (Springer, 2021)Until recently, there has been less demand for and interest in female-specific sport and exercise science data. As a result, the vast majority of high-quality sport and exercise science data have been derived from studies ...
