In captive conditions (eg zoos), some Carnivora species typically show negligible
stereotypic behaviour (SB) and reproduce successfully, while others tend to reproduce …

Carnivora with naturally small home ranges readily adjust to the evolutionarily new
environment of captivity, but wider-ranging species seem prone to stress. Understanding …

In captivity, some species often seem to thrive, while others are often prone to breeding
problems, poor health, and repetitive stereotypic behaviour. Within carnivores, for instance …

Mammalian carnivores move to find and to capture food, to avoid competitors, to avoid
predators, to find mates, and to scent mark and otherwise communicate with conspecifics …

Highlights•We studied landscape drivers of chimpanzee ranging in a rugged, montane
environment.•Chimpanzees used a network of repeatedly used routes across their …

Searching allows animals to find food, mates, shelter and other resources essential for
survival and reproduction and is thus among the most important activities performed by …

Carnivores exhibit a wide range of locomotor behaviors. However, an animal's morphology
limits its range of movements and therefore provides a constraint to certain locomotor …

Interaction among species through competition is a principle process structuring ecological
communities, affecting behavior, distribution, and ultimately the population dynamics of …

Movement patterns offer a rich source of information on animal behaviour and the ecological
significance of landscape attributes. This is especially useful for species occupying remote …

Efficient exploitation of large-scale space is crucial to many species of animal, but the
difficulties of studying how animals decide on travel routes in natural environments have …
