Odor is everywhere, emitted across the landscape from predators, prey, decaying carcasses,
conspecifics, vegetation, surface water, and smoke. Many animals exploit odor to find food …

Very recently, a fundamental observable has been introduced and analyzed to quantify the
exploration of random walks: the time τ k required for a random walk to find a site that it …

Foraging by mammalian herbivores critically impacts threatened plants and ecosystems
globally, resulting in numerous conservation challenges. Like many animals, herbivores …

Objectives As many primates live in forests where visibility is limited, the ability to detect the
aroma of distant fruit and navigate odor plumes would be highly adaptive. Our study is the …

When foraging, making appropriate food choices is crucial to an animal's fitness. Classic
foraging ecology theories assume animals choose food of greatest benefit based on their …

Finding food is a key motivator of animal behavior and underpins an increasing number of
conservation and wildlife management challenges. Introduced predators threaten many …

African savanna elephants use pre-ingestive olfactory cues when making dietary choices,
and previous research has observed that elephant diet choice is negatively correlated with …

Despite the importance of mammal‐fungal interactions, tools to estimate the mammal‐
assisted dispersal distances of fungi are lacking. Many mammals actively consume fungal …

Detecting small mammal species for wildlife research and management typically depends
on animals deciding to engage with a device, for instance, by entering a trap. While some …

The fractional Brownian motion (fBm) is a paradigmatic strongly non-Markovian process with
broad applications in various fields. Despite their importance, the properties of the territory …
