• 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 ...

      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, ...
    • 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 ...
