Chemical signals are omnipresent in sexual communication in the vast majority of living
organisms. The traditional paradigm was that their main purpose in sexual behaviour was to …

Movement ecology is a field which places movement as a basis for understanding animal
behavior. To realize this concept, ecologists rely on data collection technologies providing …

Quantitative stir bar sorptive extraction methods, both in the aqueous and headspace
modes, followed by thermal desorption gas chromatography–mass spectrometry were used …

In many species, chemical signals are important in the context of intraspecific
communication. European badgers (Meles meles) use the secretion of their subcaudal …

Understanding badger behaviour and ecology is not only fundamentally interesting, but also
contributes to resolving the conflicting imperatives of conservation or control. Reconciling …

We demonstrate how different normalization techniques in GC‐MS analysis impart unique
properties to the data, influencing any biological inference. Using simulations, and empirical …

The adaptive significance of sociality in European badgers (Meles meles) is often explained
on the basis of ecological factors, but little is known about their social interactions. Here, we …

Abstract The Active Territorial Defense Hypothesis (ATDH) and Passive Range Exclusion
Hypothesis (PREH) are contrasted as possible explanations for patterns of latrine use in a …

The genera Meles and Martes both belong to the family Mustelidae, both exhibit similar life
history traits, ecology and foraging behaviour, and yet while Meles species are facultatively …
