• Displacement Effects of Conservation Grazing on Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) Spatial Behaviour 

      Weiss, Fabio; Michler, Frank Uwe; Gillich, Benjamin; Tillmann, Jörg; Ciuti, Simone; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Rieger, Siegfried (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Conservation grazing uses semi-feral or domesticated herbivores to limit encroachment in open areas and to promote biodiversity. However, we are still unaware of its effects on wild herbivores. This study investigates the ...
    • Quiet islands in a world of fear: Wolves seek core zones of protected areas to escape human disturbance 

      Smith, Adam F.; Ciuti, Simone; Shamovich, Dmitry; Fenchuk, Viktar; Zimmermann, Barbara; Heurich, Marco Dietmar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The Anthropocene continuously escalates the challenges and threats faced by large carnivores in human-dominated landscapes. Given their unique conservation and management requirements, detailed insights into their behaviour ...
    • Roads constrain movement across behavioural processes in a partially migratory ungulate 

      Passoni, Gioele; Coulson, Tim; Ranc, Nathan; Corradini, Andrea; Hewison, A. J. Mark; Ciuti, Simone; Gehr, Benedikt; Heurich, Marco; Brieger, Falko; Sandfort, Robin; Mysterud, Atle; Balkenhol, Niko; Cagnacci, Francesca (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background: Human disturbance alters animal movement globally and infrastructure, such as roads, can act as physical barriers that impact behavior across multiple spatial scales. In ungulates, roads can particularly hamper ...
