Given the marked variation in abiotic and biotic conditions between day and night, many
species specialise their physical activity to being diurnal or nocturnal, and it was long …

Most studies in chronobiology focus on solar cycles (daily and annual). Moonlight and the
lunar cycle received considerably less attention by chronobiologists. An exception are …

Rapid expansion of human activity has driven well-documented shifts in the spatial
distribution of wildlife, but the cumulative effect of human disturbance on the temporal …

A “landscape of fear”(LOF) is a map that describes continuous spatial variation in an
animal's perception of predation risk. The relief on this map reflects, for example, places that …

Regional declines in polar bear (Ursus maritimus) populations have been attributed to
changing sea ice conditions, but with limited information on the causative mechanisms. By …

Africa is home to the last intact guild of large carnivores and thus provides the only
opportunity to investigate mechanisms of coexistence among large predator species. Strong …

Intraguild competition may be reduced if ecologically similar species segregate temporally.
Using data from 1,596 camera-trap photos, we present the 1st quantitative analyses of the …

Animals that must hunt and kill for at least part of their living are inherently interesting to
many people and the role that carnivores play in biological communities attract interest from …

Knowledge about the impact of human activity on the behavior of wolves (Canis lupus) is
important to predict habitats suitable for wolf recolonization and for planning management …

Understanding how environmental change influences the behavior of organisms is central
for both ecological understanding and species conservation. We used camera traps to …
