      1. The estimation of foraging parameters is fundamental for understanding predator ecology. Predation and feeding can vary with multiple factors, such as prey availability, presence of kleptoparasites and human disturbance. ...
    • Human disturbance is the most limiting factor driving habitat selection of a large carnivore throughout Continental Europe 

      Ripari, Lucia; Premier, Joe; Belotti, Elisa; Bluhm, Hendrik; Breitenmoser-Würsten, Christine; Bufka, Luděk; Červený, Jaroslav; Drouet-Hoguet, Nolwenn; Fuxjäger, Christian; Jędrzejewski, Włodzimierz; Kont, Raido; Koubek, Petr; Kowalczyk, Rafał; Krofel, Miha; Krojerová-Prokešová, Jarmila; Molinari-Jobin, Anja; Okarma, Henryk; Oliveira, Teresa; Remm, Jaanus; Schmidt, Krzysztof; Zimmermann, Fridolin; Kramer-Schadt, Stephanie A.; Heurich, Marco Dietmar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Habitat selection is a multi-scale process driven by trade-offs between benefits, such as resource abundance, and disadvantages, such as the avoidance of risk. The latter includes human disturbances, to which large carnivores, ...
    • Predicting kill sites of an apex predator from GPS data in different multi-prey systems 

      Oliveira, Teresa; Sanchez, David Carricondo; Mattisson, Jenny; Vogt, Kristina; Corradini, Andrea; Linnell, John Durrus; Odden, John; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Rodríguez-Recio, Mariano; Krofel, Miha (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Kill rates are a central parameter to assess the impact of predation on prey species. An accurate estimation of kill rates requires a correct identification of kill sites, often achieved by field-checking GPS location ...
    • Prerequisites for coexistence: human pressure and refuge habitat availability shape continental‑scale habitat use patterns of a large carnivore 

      Oeser, Julian; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Kramer‑Schadt, Stephanie; Andrén, Henrik; Bagrade, Guna; Belotti, Elisa; Bufka, Luděk; Breitenmoser‑Würst, Christine; Cerne, Rok; Duľa, Martin; Fuxjäger, Christian; Gomerčić, Tomislav; Jędrzejewski, Włodzimierz; Kont, Raido; Koubek, Petr; Kowalczyk, Rafał; Krofel, Miha; Krojerová‑Prokešová, Jarmila; Kubala, Jakub; Kusak, Josip; Kutal, Miroslav; Linnell, John Durrus; Mattisson, Jenny; Molinari‑Jobin, Anja; Männil, Peep; Odden, John; Okarma, Henryk; Oliveira, Teresa; Pagon, Nives; Persson, Jens; Remm, Jaanus; Schmidt, Krzysztof; Signer, Sven; Tám, Branislav; Vogt, Kristina; Zimmermann, Fridolin; Kuemmerle, Tobias (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-03-31)
      Context Adjustments in habitat use by large carnivores can be a key factor facilitating their coexistence with people in shared landscapes. Landscape composition might be a key factor determining how large carnivores can ...
    • Revealing functional responses in habitat selection of rocky features and rugged terrain by Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) using LiDAR data 

      Čonč, Špela; Oliveira, Teresa; Belotti, Elisa; Bufka, Luděk; Černe, Rok; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Breg Valjavec, Mateja; Krofel, Miha (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Context Many carnivores are attracted to rugged terrain, rocky areas, and conspicuous relief features. However, most of the previous research is limited to general topographical habitat characteristics and rarely consider ...
