Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Animals are facing novel 'timescapes' in which the stimuli entraining their daily activity
patterns no longer match historical conditions due to anthropogenic disturbance. However …

Following decades of intensive study, Anolis lizards have emerged as a biological model
system. We review how new research on anoles has advanced our understanding of …

The challenge that large carnivores face in coexisting with humans calls into question their
ability to carry out critical ecosystem functions such as mesopredator suppression outside …

Extreme weather events perturb ecosystems and increasingly threaten biodiversity.
Ecologists emphasize the need to forecast and mitigate the impacts of these events, which …

Predator–prey ecology and the study of animal cognition and culture have emerged as
independent disciplines. Research combining these disciplines suggests that both animal …

Some animal species shift their activity towards increased nocturnality in disturbed habitats
to avoid predominantly diurnal humans. This may alter diel overlap among species, a …

Predators and prey engage in games where each player must counter the moves of the
other, and these games include multiple phases operating at different spatiotemporal scales …

Landscapes of fear describe a spatial representation of an animal's perceived risk of
predation and the associated foraging costs, while energy landscapes describe the spatial …

Interspecific interactions can influence species' activity and movement patterns. In particular,
species may avoid or attract each other through reactive responses in space and/or time …
