Prey usually adjust anti-predator behavior to subtle variations in perceived risk. However, it
is not clear whether adult large carnivores that are virtually free of natural predation adjust …

Because many large mammal species have wide geographical ranges, spatially distant
populations may be confronted with different sets of environmental conditions. Investigating …

Logging negatively affects the threatened forest‐dwelling caribou (Rangifer tarandus
caribou) through its positive effects on large predator populations. As recruitment is a key …

Habitat selection can be considered as a hierarchical process in which animals satisfy their
habitat requirements at different ecological scales. Theory predicts that spatial and temporal …

Recent studies have examined the ecological and evolutionary bases for variation in animal
personality. However, only a few such studies have examined how foraging parameters are …

We investigated the activity patterns of a European roe deer (Capreolus capreolus)
population living in a forested Apennine area in central Italy, in order to shed light on the …

Humans, as super predators, can have strong effects on wildlife behaviour, including
profound modifications of diel activity patterns. Subsequent to the return of large carnivores …

Ungulate–vehicle collisions pose a serious traffic safety hazard in the North of Spain. The
understanding of underlying temporal and spatial structure of these non-random events is …

The impact of hunting on wildlife is a complex phenomenon which varies in space and
across time, and yet limited knowledge is available on it. This is especially the case of the …

Density is a key trait of populations and an essential parameter in ecological research,
wildlife conservation and management. Several models have been developed to estimate …
