Simple Summary Camera-trapping has been widely used to assess activity rhythms and
temporal overlap of different medium-and large-sized mammal species sharing the same …

Assessing carnivores and prey temporal activity patterns as well as their overlap provides
valuable insights into behavioural mitigations of competition. Moon phases may also play an …

Abstract Information on spatial behaviour and temporal activity patterns is paramount for the
conservation of animal species. This is particularly true for endangered taxa that are …

The land transformation of traditional agro-mosaics into progressively more anthropized
crops can trigger changes in small mammal communities. Here, we reported data about a …

Plastic pollution in terrestrial and freshwater environments and its accumulation along food
chains has been poorly studied in birds. The Barn owl (Tyto alba) is an opportunistic and …

Assessing wildlife activity rhythms is crucial to design effective management programmes for
invasive alien species. Among the most widespread alien mammals in Italy, the Eastern …

Risk of predation is one of the main constraints of small mammal distribution and foraging
activity. Aside from numerical effects on population size due to the presence and abundance …

We consider a dynamical system involving seven populations to model the presence of
voles in a cultivated orchard. The plant population is stratified by age (three groups) and by …

The behavioural patterns of small mammalian prey species have been shown to be widely
impacted by predator avoidance. Cues to avoid predation may come from the predator itself …

Soil overturn by wild boar Sus scrofa is known to affect biodiversity, from plant communities
to invertebrates, reptiles and small mammals. Rooting activity has been shown to be …
