tracking animal movement by comparing trace element signatures in claws to spatial variability of elements in soils.	biogeochemical markers in ecology have provided a useful means for indicating geographic origin and movement patterns of species on various temporal and spatial scales. we used trace element analysis to resolve spatial and habitat-specific environmental gradients in elemental distributions that could be used to infer geographic origin and habitat association in a model terrestrial carnivore: american badger (taxidea taxus jacksoni). to accomplish this, we generated element base-maps using spatia ...	2014	24061061
the occurrence of pathogens in an endangered population of american badgers (taxidea taxus jacksoni) in ontario, canada.	american badgers ( taxidea taxus jacksoni) at the periphery of the species' range in ontario, canada, are listed as endangered because of an estimated population size of <200 mature individuals. the main threats faced by this population include habitat loss and road mortality. however, on 18 november 2013, a radio-implanted badger was found nonresponsive in an agricultural field with signs consistent with canine distemper virus infection, which was subsequently confirmed. this prompted our inves ...	2017	27749192
