Predator-protected populations of threatened fauna are important for species conservation,
although these animals can quickly become predator naïve and can lack appropriate …

Great part of ecological thought in desert ecology is based on research findings in the
northern hemisphere, and these have led to generalizations to other drylands. However …

In cryptically coloured birds, remaining on the nest despite predator approach (risk‐taking)
may decrease the likelihood that the nest will be detected and current reproductive attempt …

Sigmodontine rats are one of the most diverse components of the Neotropical mammal
fauna. They exhibit a wide ecological diversity and a variety of locomotor types that allow …

The limbs of mammals exhibit a variety of morphologies that reflect the diversity of their
habitats and their functional needs, including subtle structural differences in their distal limb …

In this study I assessed microhabitat selection by four murid rodent species inhabiting the
central Monte Desert (Argentina) in three different habitats, using logistic regression …

Habitat selection in deserts is mainly modulated by the availability of resources. The basic
hypotheses regarding coexistence of species in arid environments offer two possibilities: 1) …

In open, arid environments with limited shelter there may be strong selection on small prey
species to develop behaviors that facilitate predator avoidance. Here, we predicted that …

Habitat partitioning is considered one of the main mechanisms of coexistence among small
mammals. This is especially evident in arid environments where resources are particularly …
