Understanding the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on species' behaviour is crucial for
conservation planning, considering the extent of habitat loss. We investigated the influence …

Predators may limit populations of small carnivores indirectly through exploitative
competition for resources, and directly through interference competition, including predation …

Nest failure for coastal marsh bird species is primarily caused by predation and nest
flooding. As sea level rise makes nest flooding more likely, the threat of nest predation will …

Investigation into the mechanisms responsible for community assembly (habitat filtering,
niche differentiation) is essential for understanding the processes maintaining coexistence …

Partial migration is common in a large variety of taxa in seasonally variable environments.
Understanding the mechanisms underlying migration is important, as migration affects …

Weasels Mustela spp. are specialized, small predators which demonstrate pronounced
differences in size and social status according to sex and age, and these differences may …

Competing species and predators can alter the habitat use of animals, but both factors are
rarely simultaneously controlled. We studied in experimental enclosures how closely related …

Carnivore interactions are complex and significantly affect community dynamics by
influencing species' demography, distribution, and behavior. These interactions are shaped …

The assembly of natural communities and the coexistence of species within these
communities is a major issue in community ecology. Community assembly is mostly …
