Large carnivores are frequently presented as saviours of biodiversity and ecosystem
functioning through their creation of trophic cascades, an idea largely based on studies …

Rapid expansion of human activity has driven well-documented shifts in the spatial
distribution of wildlife, but the cumulative effect of human disturbance on the temporal …

Animals should time activities, such as foraging, migration and reproduction, as well as
seasonal physiological adaptation, in a way that maximizes fitness. The fitness outcome of …

Animal Vigilance builds on the author's previous publication with Academic Press (Social
Predation: How Group Living Benefits Predators and Prey) by developing several other …

The theory of predation risk effects predicts behavioral responses in prey when risk of
predation is not homogenous in space and time. Prey species are often faced with a tradeoff …

The rapid spread and diversification of outdoor recreation can impact on wildlife in various
ways, often leading to the avoidance of disturbed habitats. To mitigate human-wildlife …

Landscape conversion to agriculture is the primary cause for habitat loss worldwide. As
partial mitigation, agricultural landscapes may be designated as ecological corridors due to …

Predation is a major selective pressure for prey; however, the stress response to predation
risk and the relative importance of natural versus anthropogenic stress factors in wild …

Spatial and temporal occurrence can mediate behavioural interactions between apex
predators, mesocarnivores and herbivores. Predators should adapt their activity to that of …

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 …
