Many game species are prey species and evolved to cope with significant mortality by
natural predators. In the absence of predation or hunting, these game populations will be …

Emergent diseases may alter the structure and functioning of ecosystems by creating new
biotic interactions and modifying existing ones, producing cascading processes along …

The correct interpretation of relative abundance indices provided by different sampling
methods is essential to correctly estimate population size. Although multiple indices and …

The diet of predators can be highly variable, which is exemplified by their ability to acclimate
to a wide range of ecological conditions. Such flexibility in foraging may be a key aspect of …

The estimation of abundance of wildlife populations is an essential part of ecological
research and monitoring. Spatially explicit capture–recapture (SCR) models are widely used …

Strategic management of populations of interacting biological species routinely requires
interventions combining multiple treatments or therapies. This is important in key research …

This comprehensive species-specific chapter covers all aspects of the mammalian biology,
including paleontology, physiology, genetics, reproduction and development, ecology …

Where introduced, the European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus is considered among the most
destructive and invasive species. To date, research focused mostly on populations of wild …

Many rangelands worldwide are threatened by human population growth, so there is an
urgent need for understanding how we can preserve functional diversity across these …

Salvage logging treatments, a type of logging to economic returns after natural disturbance,
are often applied in the aftermath of wildfires. Specialist or dependent species of open …
