Facing predators is an integral part of animal ecology and evolution. Rather than directly
confronting their enemies, animals usually try to avoid risky encounters. Thus, animal's use …

Protected areas are intended as tools in reducing threats to wildlife and preserving habitat
for their long-term population persistence. Studies on ranging behavior provide insight into …

An unexpected human-wildlife conflict between vultures and livestock has emerged in
Europe during the last two decades. Farmers attributed changes in vulture behavior, due to …

Rural abandonment and subsequent vegetation regeneration ('passive rewilding') are
expected to increase worldwide, producing cascades of dynamic socioeconomic, landscape …

Species assemblages often have a non‐random nested organization, which in vertebrate
scavenger (carrion‐consuming) assemblages is thought to be driven by facilitation in …

Carrion production is one of the most crucial yet neglected and understudied processes in
food webs and ecosystems. In this study, we performed a large-scale estimation of the …

Aim Despite the increasing scientific evidence on the importance of carrion in the ecology
and evolution of many vertebrates, scavenging is still barely considered in diet studies …

Unravelling how biodiversity is maintained despite species competition for shared resources
has been a central question in community ecology, and is gaining relevance amidst the …

Over the last 10 years, the spawning population of invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus
gorbuscha) has increased in the river systems in northern Norway to a level that is causing …

Animal mass mortality events (MMEs) will increase with weather and climate extremes.
MMEs can add significant stress to ecosystems through extraordinary nutrient pulses or …
