Habitat‐selection analyses allow researchers to link animals to their environment via habitat‐
selection or step‐selection functions, and are commonly used to address questions related …

Apex predators such as large carnivores can have cascading, landscape‐scale impacts
across wildlife communities, which could result largely from the fear they inspire, although …

Humans, like natural predators, can induce fear in wildlife, which has the potential to alter
species-level survival and fitness. Though anthropogenic impacts on wildlife have been …

Outside laboratory conditions and human-made structures, animals rarely encounter flat
surfaces. Instead, natural substrates are uneven surfaces with height variation that ranges …

Human activity and land use change impact every landscape on Earth, driving declines in
many animal species while benefiting others. Species ecological and life history traits may …

Predation risk, the probability that a prey animal will be killed by a predator, is fundamental
to theoretical and applied ecology. Predation risk varies with animal behavior and …

Human impacts on wildlife stem from both our footprint on the landscape and the presence
of people in wildlife habitat. Each may influence wildlife at very different spatial and temporal …

Background Global increases in human activity threaten connectivity of animal habitat and
populations. Protection and restoration of wildlife habitat and movement corridors require …

Energetic demands and fear of predators are considered primary factors shaping animal
behavior, and both are likely drivers of movement decisions that ultimately determine the …

Wide-ranging carnivores experience tradeoffs between dynamic resource availabilities and
heterogeneous risks from humans, with consequences for their ecological function and …
