Reintroducing wolverines to historically occupied, suitable habitat could function as a major proactive step toward improving wolverine status and genetic diversity in the contiguous United States. Discussions about the possibility of wolverine reintroduction into Colorado were initiated during 2009 after lynx reintroduction efforts there were declared successful and an individual male wolverine was radio-tracked as it moved into the state becoming...

Wildlife fencing along highways can lower wildlife-vehicle collision rates by excluding animals from the road right-of-way. Still, animals can breach fencing and end up trapped within the fencing along the highway right-of-way, exposing wildlife and motorists to the risk of collision. Wildlife escape ramps are designed to allow animals safe passage out of the right-of-way. Few recommendations exist on effective design of escape ramps and monitoring...

Lynx have demonstrated an ability to survive long-term in areas of Colorado. Reintroduced lynx have also exhibited site fidelity, engaged in breeding behavior and produced kittens. What is yet to be demonstrated is whether conditions in Colorado can support the recruitment necessary to offset annual mortality for a population to remain viable for several generations of lynx.

Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) are a priority conservation species throughout the western prairie regions of the United States. A variety of methods has been used to survey and monitor the status of swift populations throughout the species range. We conducted surveys using a non-noninvasive approach to evaluate the status of the swift fox in eastern Colorado. From August through October 2011, we used remote infrared cameras and a skunk-based lure on 52...
