natural habitat. Understanding the factors that determine the distribution and density of …

Cities experience changes in abiotic factors, such as warming, increases in noise and light.
These changes can lead to phenotypic changes. Several studies have revealed that altered …

The circadian thermoenergetics hypothesis (CTEH) suggests that endotherms benefit by
being active during the warmer period of a 24 h cycle and by resting when temperatures …

Simple Summary Recent advances in technology allow for the study of animal behaviours
through indirect observations. This facilitates research on cryptic animals for which direct …

Activity pattern has played a prominent role in discussions of primate evolutionary history.
Most primates are either diurnal or nocturnal, but a small number are active both diurnally …

Edge effects result from interactions between adjacent habitats, which can modify abiotic
and biotic conditions and produce various negative effects on biodiversity. Given the high …

Natural and artificial canopy bridges can be used to mitigate the effects of habitat
fragmentation. Understanding the ecological factors that influence bridge use is imperative …

Accelerometers are powerful tools for behavioral ecologists studying wild animals,
particularly species that are difficult to observe due to their cryptic nature or dense or difficult …

Food availability and climate represent environmental factors that affect species' social
behavior, ranging patterns, diet, and activity budget. From August 2012 to September 2013 …
