As grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) populations have returned in the western U.S., conflicts between the bears and people have increased. For example, grizzlies sometimes prey on livestock. In the featured article for this issue, researchers look at how people perceive these conflicts and what solutions would be. Their findings provide managers with insight into grizzly-livestock conflict and conflict reduction.

Other articles look at plains (Bison bison bison) and wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) diets at Elk Island National Park, factors affecting densities of endangered fishers (Pekania pennanti) in British Columbia and the energetic cost of human disturbance on sea otters (Enhydra lutris).
