The many faces of fear: a synthesis of the methodological variation in characterizing predation risk
Predators affect prey by killing them directly (lethal effects) and by inducing costly
antipredator behaviours in living prey (risk effects). Risk effects can strongly influence prey …

Prevalence and mechanisms of partial migration in ungulates
Partial migration, a phenomenon wherein only some individuals within a population migrate,
is taxonomically widespread. While well-studied in birds and fish, partial migration in large …

Behavioural flexibility in migratory behaviour in a long‐lived large herbivore
SL Eggeman, M Hebblewhite, H Bohm… - Journal of Animal …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Migratory animals are predicted to enhance lifetime fitness by obtaining higher quality
forage and/or reducing predation risk compared to non‐migratory conspecifics. Despite …

Migratory plasticity is not ubiquitous among large herbivores
The migratory movements of wild animals can promote abundance and support ecosystem
functioning. For large herbivores, mounting evidence suggests that migratory behaviour is …

The plasticity of ungulate migration in a changing world
Migratory ungulates are thought to be declining globally because their dependence on large
landscapes renders them highly vulnerable to environmental change. Yet recent studies …

Metabarcoding of fecal DNA shows dietary diversification in wolves substitutes for ungulates in an island archipelago
Although ungulates are the main prey of wolves (Canis lupus) throughout their range,
substantial dietary diversity may allow wolves to persist even when ungulates are declining …
