understand their impacts on wildlife. The majority of research conducted to date has focused …

Prey usually adjust anti-predator behavior to subtle variations in perceived risk. However, it
is not clear whether adult large carnivores that are virtually free of natural predation adjust …

In human-dominated landscapes, species with large spatial requirements, such as large
carnivores, have to deal with human infrastructure and activities within their home ranges …

As human activities increase in natural areas, so do threats to wildlife, potentially leading to
immediate and long-term impacts on species distribution, activity, reproduction and survival …

Background Hibernation has been a key area of research for several decades, essentially in
small mammals in the laboratory, yet we know very little about what triggers or ends it in the …

Habitat selection is a fundamental behaviour that links individuals to the resources required
for survival and reproduction. Although natural selection acts on an individual's phenotype …

Behavioral effects of living under predation risk may influence the dynamics of prey species
more than direct demographic effects. Human recreation, especially hunting, can also force …

Some large carnivore populations are increasing in Europe and North America, and
minimizing interactions between people and carnivores is a major management task …
