One tool in the box: the role of hunters in mitigating the damages associated to abundant wildlife
C Gortázar, J Fernandez-de-Simon - European Journal of Wildlife …, 2022 - Springer
Many game species are prey species and evolved to cope with significant mortality by
natural predators. In the absence of predation or hunting, these game populations will be …

Catch me if you can: diel activity patterns of mammalian prey and predators
The activity patterns exhibited by animals are shaped by evolution, but additionally fine‐
tuned by flexible responses to the environment. Predation risk and resource availability are …

Ecological traits and the spatial structure of competitive coexistence among carnivores
Competition is a widespread interaction among carnivores, ultimately manifested through
one or more dimensions of the species' ecological niche. One of the most explicit …

Conservationists, hunters and farmers: the European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus management conflict in the Iberian Peninsula
Biodiversity conflicts arise when the interests of different stakeholders over common
resources compete. Typically, the more parties involved, the more complex situations …

Endemic plant species are more palatable to introduced herbivores than non-endemics
Islands harbour a spectacular diversity and unique species composition. This uniqueness is
mainly a result of endemic species that have evolved in situ in the absence of mammal …

Contrasting effects of invasive rabbits on endemic plants driving vegetation change in a subtropical alpine insular environment
Alpine ecosystems on islands are among the most isolated on Earth, leading to very high
rates of endemism. Endemic species on oceanic islands are particularly vulnerable to …

Forecast increase in invasive rabbit spread into ecosystems of an oceanic island (Tenerife) under climate change
Abstract The European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) is a pest and a conservation problem
on many islands, where its heavy grazing pressure threatens many endemic plants with …
