Movement, both within an individual's home range and at the scale of dispersal, is a
fundamental aspect of an animal's life. The field of movement ecology has established a …

Increasing urbanization degrades quantity, quality, and the functionality of spatial cohesion
of natural areas essential to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning worldwide. The …

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 …

Urbanization is a severe form of habitat fragmentation that can cause many species to be
locally extirpated and many others to become trapped and isolated within an urban matrix …

Studies on riparian buffers have usually focused on the amount of land needed as habitat for
the terrestrial life stages of semiaquatic species. Nevertheless, the landscape surrounding …

Mechanisms and processes of ecologically driven adaptive speciation are best studied in
natural situations where the splitting process is still occurring, ie before complete …

Effective conservation management strategies require accurate information on the
movement patterns and behaviour of wild animals. To collect these data, researchers are …

In this contribution, the aspects of reptile and amphibian speciation that emerged from
research performed over the past decade are reviewed. First, this study assesses how …

Understanding the relationship between environmental features and species distribution is a
key step for successful habitat conservation. In semiaquatic amphibians, the features of both …

For many species, population sizes are unknown despite their importance for conservation.
For population size estimation, capture-mark-recapture (CMR) studies are often used, which …
