Gravel-bed river floodplains in mountain landscapes disproportionately concentrate diverse
habitats, nutrient cycling, productivity of biota, and species interactions. Although stream …

Expansion of human activities into large carnivore habitats and of large carnivore ranges
into anthropogenic settings increase the potential for human-wildlife conflicts. Future …

Animal movement is fundamental for ecosystem functioning and species survival, yet the
effects of the anthropogenic footprint on animal movements have not been estimated across …

Background Human disturbance can influence wildlife behaviour, which can have
implications for wildlife populations. For example, wildlife may be more vigilant near human …

The decreasing cost and increasing scope and power of emerging genomic technologies
are reshaping the field of molecular ecology. However, many modern genomic approaches …

Fear of predation can have major impacts on the behaviour of prey species. Recently the
concept of the ecology of fear has been defined and formalised; yet there has been relatively …

Habitat choice is an evolutionary product of animals experiencing increased fitness when
preferentially occupying high‐quality habitat. However, an ecological trap (ET) can occur …

Background Global increases in human activity threaten connectivity of animal habitat and
populations. Protection and restoration of wildlife habitat and movement corridors require …

Large fractions of human-altered lands are working landscapes where people and nature
interact to balance social, economic, and ecological needs. Achieving these sustainability …

Roads can fragment and isolate wildlife populations, which will eventually decrease genetic
diversity within populations. Wildlife crossing structures may counteract these impacts, but …
