We prepared these data archives to live up to our duty as public scientists and government trustees to be accountable for wildlife held in trust for the broadest public and futurity.

The data archives below are intended for transparent communication about the carnivores we have studied. Please do not attempt to publish excerpts without first consulting Adrian Treves by email because interpretation of terms and the methods used to collect data are crucial for their interpretation. Such consultation may help to avoid misunderstandings,, miscommunications, or other errors. Such communication also respects our intellectual property for much of the material below. Thank you.

Quoted text from constitutional provisions that protect the biosphere for an article by A. Treves, K. M. Hostler, and N. I. Vonarburg.

In 2024, we shed light on nondisclosure of potentially competing interests among DNR staff and allied authors. In two peer-reviewed, published papers, one in Journal of Mammalogy rebutting Roberts et al. and one in review at PLoS One rebutting Stauffer et al., we presented ironclad evidence of undisclosed affiliations, and interests, both financial and non-financial. These are breaches of scientific integrity long described by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

Details can be found here.

2025. Reply to Stauffer et al.: Uncertainty and precaution in hunting wolves twice in a year: in review at PLoS One available here. Please note there is an unresolved issue with nondisclosure of multiple potentially competing interests by Roberts et al. and Stauffer et al. I have raised these issues with the appropriate scientific integrity editors during the course of peer review. I await successful resolution following National Academies guidelines on research integrity. I will remove the disclosures they should have made once resolved. Please check back in a few months. I also explain why scientific integrity is so important to public confidence in our research community and good government at this page.

Note Stauffer et al. and Roberts et al., claim we are trying to silence them when we are obviously trying the opposite, to compel transparency about their potentially competing interests, see this article on competing interests.

See this editorial Treves, A. 2024. Authors declare no competing interests—really? Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment (guest editorial) to understand why disclosures of potentially competing interests are important and why current practices in scientific peer review need an overhaul.

This is part of a larger project in the Open Science Framework entitled, Meta-research on disclosures of potentially competing interests, which contains two components as of April 2024. The first component is our rebuttal to Roberts et al. in Journal of Mammalogy 2024. We will soon add the reply to Stauffer et al.
