Spatial partitioning in ecological communities has predominantly been described in two
dimensions, yet habitat is complex and 3D. Complex space use mediates community …

Context Habitat loss and fragmentation are main drivers of biodiversity loss and are
occurring at an accelerating rate globally. Carnivores are often subject to persecution and …

Background Biologging now allows detailed recording of animal movement, thus informing
behavioural ecology in ways unthinkable just a few years ago. In particular, combining GPS …

The competitive exclusion principle states that ecologically similar species will be unable to
coexist due to competition for resources, however, similar species coexist across a variety of …

Decision-making processes in the context of prey–predator interactions are studied from the
side of the prey or the predator. Thus, prey capture and escape behaviours are researched …

Although less studied than interspecific interactions, interactions among members of the
same species can influence space use and temporal activity. Using techniques commonly …

An ambitious conservation programme to save the Iberian lynx from extinction conducted
several reintroductions aiming to restore its historical range. The urgency due to the delicate …

Animal behaviour is often characterised by periodic patterns such as seasonality or diel
variation. Such periodic variation can be comprehensively studied from the increasingly …

According to Weber's law of proportional processing, perceptual discrimination between
stimuli of different magnitudes is based on their proportional differences in magnitude (not …

Large carnivores play a crucial role in the ecosystem, though their conservation needs a
landscape-level approach due to their wide range of habitats and dispersal events. The …
