Synzoochory is the dispersal of seeds by seed-caching animals. The animal partner in this
interaction plays a dual role, acting both as seed disperser and seed predator. We propose …

While agricultural intensification and expansion are major factors driving loss and
degradation of natural habitat and species decline, some wildlife species also benefit from …

Migratory birds may have a vital role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance across habitats
and regions, but empirical data remain scarce. We investigated differences in the gut …

Human activities shape resources available to wild animals, impacting diet and probably
altering their microbiota and overall health. We examined drivers shaping microbiota profiles …

Human-wildlife conflicts are universally growing, threatening sustainable coexistence and
demanding increasing conservation efforts. While such conflicts are commonly tackled by …

Waterbirds can reallocate a considerable amount of nutrients within agricultural fields and

Following an abnormal flood in 2010 at China's Poyang Lake, we observed wintering
Siberian Cranes Leucogeranus leucogeranus switch from foraging in the shallow-water …

Abstract Context The Eurasian crane (Grus grus) is an iconic and sensitive species. It is
therefore necessary to understand its landscape ecology in order to determine threats …

Animals often spend less time vigilant and more time feeding when foraging in larger
groups. This group‐size effect does not, however, consider if larger groups differ …

The migratory and omnivorous common crane (Grus grus) uses a nature reserve with crucial
ecological value that provides supplementary food resources, although the extent of their …
