A growing body of literature has documented myriad effects of human activities on animal
behaviour, yet the ultimate ecological consequences of these behavioural shifts remain …

Individually distinctive behavioral traits, or personalities, contribute to population-level
processes and ecological interactions important in applied wildlife conservation research …

Phenotype-based selective harvests, including trophy hunting, can have important
implications for sustainable wildlife management if they target heritable traits,,. Here we …

Human harvest of phenotypically desirable animals from wild populations imposes selection
that can reduce the frequencies of those desirable phenotypes. Hunting and fishing contrast …

Standard economic theory predicts that exploitation alone is unlikely to result in species
extinction because of the escalating costs of finding the last individuals of a declining …

It is widely known that the adverse effects of stress must be considered in animal
conservation programmes. However, a full consideration of how and where stress occurs in …

Human recreation has immediate and long-term impacts on wildlife, and exposure to
recreational activities might be particularly high in urban systems. We investigated the …

We argue that animal temperament is an important concept for wildlife conservation science
and review causes and consequences of evolutionary changes in temperament traits that …

The popularity of bioacoustics for threatened species monitoring has surged. Large volumes
of acoustic data can be collected autonomously and remotely with minimal human effort. The …

Formal efforts to connect animal behavior and behavioral ecology to conservation biology
