Agricultural Intensification Reduces the Portfolio of Wetland Ecosystem Services: European Danube River Lowlands as a Global Biodiversity Hotspot
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Anthropogenic landscape transformations have promoted the provision of ecosystem services (ES) at the expense of other ES, biodiversity, and human well-being. We analysed the transformation portfolios of ES provisions, the ... -
Altitude, latitude, and climate zone as determinants of mountain hare (Lepus timidus) coat colour change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Local adaptation to annually changing environments has evolved in numerous spe-cies. Seasonal coat colour change is an adaptation that has evolved in multiple mam-mal and bird species occupying areas ... -
Bringing the Black rhino back: Key factors for reintroduction success
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Evaluating reintroduction success is fundamental to wildlife management and conservation. Movement affects animal fitness and survival and is the first response of reintroduced animals, making it an excellent indicator of ... -
Co-occurrence patterns and habitat selection of the mountain hare, European hare, and European rabbit in urban areas of Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Assessing the underlying mechanisms of species co-occurrence patterns can be challenging as biotic and abiotic factors are hard to disentangle. To date, few studies have investigated co-occurrence patterns of mammals within ... -
A Comparison of Small Rodent Assemblages after a 20 Year Interval in the Alps
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Human-induced environmental alterations in the Alps may importantly affect small mammal species, but evidence in this sense is limited. We live-trapped small rodents in the Central Eastern Italian Alps in three close-by ... -
The digitalization of outdoor recreation: Global perspectives on the opportunities and challenges for protected area management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The increasing popularity of digital media among protected area visitors poses challenges to protected area management. It alters the way visitors move and behave in the area, potentially increasing disturbance of nature, ... -
Factors influencing carrion communities are only partially consistent with those of deadwood necromass
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Research on decomposer communities has traditionally focused on plant litter or deadwood. Even though carrion forms highly nutrient-rich necromass that enhance ecosystem heterogeneity, the factors infuencing saprophytic ... -
How fences communicate interspecies codes of conduct in the landscape: toward bidirectional communication?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The fence provides two functions in wildlife management. First, it physically blocks, deters or impedes wild animals from access to protected areas or resources. Second, the fence signals impassability, danger, ... -
Influence of roads on space use by European hares in different landscapes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Context Roads are ubiquitous in human inhabited landscapes, and can impact animal movement and population dynamics, due to barrier effects, road mortality, but also by providing resources at road verges. Thus, we need a ... -
LiDAR reveals a preference for intermediate visibility by a forest-dwelling ungulate species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Abstract 1. Visibility (viewshed) plays a significant and diverse role in animals' behaviour and fitness. Understanding how visibility influences animal behaviour requires the measurement of habitat visibility at spatial ... -
Meeting the challenges of wild boar hunting in a modern society: The case of France
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Modern hunting is an ambivalent practice, torn between leisure and labor. Nowhere are these conflicting dimensions better manifested than for wild boar—a simultaneous game and pest species in many countries. Here, we ... -
Predicting kill sites of an apex predator from GPS data in different multi-prey systems
(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 ... -
Scared as a hare: Effects of capture and experimental disturbance on survival and movement behavior of European hares
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Capture and handling of wildlife is an important component of wildlife studies, and hunting can be a central tool for wildlife management. However, human-caused disturbance of animals can cause various negative effects on ... -
Small rodent monitoring at Birkebeiner road, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background. Northern small mammal populations are renowned for their multi-annual population cycles. Population cycles are multi-faceted and have extensive impacts on the rest of the ecosystem. In 2011, we started a ... -
Small rodent population cycles and plants – after 70 years, where do we go?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Small rodent population cycles characterise northern ecosystems, and the cause of these cycles has been a long-lastingcentral topic in ecology, with trophic interactions currently considered the most plausible cause. While ... -
Spatial variation in red deer density in a transboundary forest ecosystem
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Forests in Europe are exposed to increasingly frequent and severe disturbances. The resulting changes in the structure and composition of forests can have profound consequences for the wildlife inhabiting them. Moreover, ... -
A Standardized Method for Experimental Human Approach Trials on Wild Wolves
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)As wolves recolonize areas of Europe ranging from moderate to high anthropogenic impact, fear of wolves is a recurring source of conflict. Shared tools for evaluating wolf responses to humans, and comparing such responses ... -
Using ecological niche modelling to prioritise areas for conservation of the critically endangered Buffy-Headed marmoset (Callithrix flaviceps)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Endemic to the Atlantic Forest in Southeastern Brazil, the critically endangered Buffy-Headed marmoset (Callithrix flaviceps) is lacking the required attention for effective conservation. We modelled its ecological niche ... -
Walking on the Dark Side: Anthropogenic Factors Limit Suitable Habitat for Gray Wolf (Canis lupus) in a Large Natural Area Covering Belarus and Ukraine
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Due to successful conservation initiatives and legislations, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) is re-colonising its historic range in Europe. However, wolves have never been extirpated across large areas in Eastern Europe but ... -
Wherever I may roam—Human activity alters movements of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and elk (Cervus canadensis) across two continents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Human activity and associated landscape modifications alter the movements of ani-mals with consequences for populations and ecosystems worldwide. Species perform-ing long-distance movements are thought to be particularly ...
