Predators or prey? Spatio-temporal discrimination of human-derived risk by brown bears
Prey usually adjust anti-predator behavior to subtle variations in perceived risk. However, it
is not clear whether adult large carnivores that are virtually free of natural predation adjust …

Human disturbance is the most limiting factor driving habitat selection of a large carnivore throughout Continental Europe
L Ripari, J Premier, E Belotti, H Bluhm… - Biological …, 2022 - Elsevier
Habitat selection is a multi-scale process driven by trade-offs between benefits, such as

Habitat selection by Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) is primarily driven by avoidance of human activity during day and prey availability during night
M Filla, J Premier, N Magg, C Dupke… - Ecology and …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The greatest threat to the protected Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in Central Europe is human‐
induced mortality. As the availability of lynx prey often peaks in human‐modified areas, lynx …

Assessing habitat selection using multivariate statistics: Some refinements of the ecological-niche factor analysis
We propose here some refinements of the ecological-niche factor analysis (ENFA) to
describe precisely one organism's habitat selection. The ENFA is based on the concept of …

What shapes Eurasian lynx distribution in human dominated landscapes: selecting prey or avoiding people?
In the multi‐use landscape of southern Norway, the distribution of lynx is likely to be
determined both by the abundance of their favoured prey–the roe deer–and the risk …
