The development of the isotopic niche, an n-dimensional hypervolume (with n being the
number of isotopes) occupied by a population in delta space, has revolutionized the study of …

Snake fungal disease (SFD) caused by Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola can lead to morbidity
and mortality in snakes. However, we know little about the behavior of free-ranging …

We studied Tachymenis peruvianas thermoregulatory strategy, and microhabitat use and
selection in an open enclosure at 3400 m elevation during the wet season. We expected that …

Food acquisition is an important modulator of animal behavior and habitat selection that can
affect fitness. Optimal foraging theory predicts that predators should select habitat patches to …

Adders (Vipera berus), like many other temperate zone snakes, undertake seasonal
migrations between wintering areas and feeding grounds. During a mark-recapture study in …

The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis predicts individuals, populations, and species that
experience different ecological conditions will differ in spatial ecology resulting in …

Wildlife translocation is the human-mediated movement of living organisms from one
location to another for varying purposes including conservation, mitigation, and research …

Habitat selection can be multi-scale and hierarchical, suggesting that varied environmental
or resource gradients can influence habitat use patterns across different spatial scales …

Translocation (the intentional release of captive-propagated or wild-caught animals into the
wild) to establish a new population or augment a critically small population often fails to …
