Although laboratory studies of large mammals have revealed valuable information on
thermoregulation, such studies cannot predict accurately how animals respond in their …

Camera traps and radiotags commonly are used to estimate animal activity curves.
However, little empirical evidence has been provided to validate whether they produce …

Effective wildlife management and conservation require reliable assessments of animal
abundance. However, no ungulate monitoring methods is entirely satisfying in terms of cost …

Considerable research is aimed at developing predictions of ecosystem responses to
climate change, focusing on the spatial scale, such as range shifts and contractions, as well …

Assessing the spatiotemporal overlap amongst animal species living in sympatry helps to
shed light on mechanisms of interspecific coexistence. We analysed the spatiotemporal …

Long-term tracking using global positioning systems (GPS) is widely used to study
vertebrate movement ecology, including fine-scale habitat selection as well as large-scale …

Many animals restrict their movements to a characteristic home range. This constrained
pattern of space use is thought to result from the foraging benefits of memorizing the …

Over the last century, the wild boar (Sus scrofa) has become an important wildlife species in
both economic and ecological terms. Considered a pest by some and a resource by others …

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 …

The activity patterns of most terrestrial animals are regarded as being primarily influenced by
light, although other factors, such as sexual cycle and climatic conditions, can modify the …
