The paper examines how top-down and bottom-up processes affect mesopredator movement and foraging behavior, finding that polar bears restrict seal foraging and that seals adjust behavior based on prey diversity and predation risk.

The paper develops methylation-based models to predict maximum lifespan and other life history traits in mammals using data from 12,000 samples across 192 species.

This study analyzes DNA methylation across 11,117 samples from 176 species to identify modules related to traits like age, lifespan, and phylogeny, revealing epigenetic patterns across evolution and aging.

The paper develops a method to estimate population abundance using genetic mark-recapture data when not all sites are sampled, applying it to estimate the bowhead whale population size.
