Both fire and predators have strong influences on the population dynamics and behaviour of
animals, and the effects of predators may either be strengthened or weakened by fire …

Predation risk, the probability that a prey animal will be killed by a predator, is fundamental
to theoretical and applied ecology. Predation risk varies with animal behavior and …

Prey naivety occurs when an animal does not recognize or is unable to respond effectively
to the threat of a predator. Many animals lose their anti‐predator responses if they become …

Predator-prey interactions are ubiquitous and powerful forces that structure ecological
communities. 1–3 Habitat complexity has been shown to be particularly important in …

Wildlife are increasingly being found in urban habitats, and likely rely on some resources in
suburban household yards, which exposes them to the effects of yard management and …

Ecosystem management in the face of global change requires understanding how co‐
occurring threats affect species and communities. Such an understanding allows for effective …

Many terrestrial vertebrates require microhabitat shelter structures for survival. Where
anthropogenic or environmental disturbances have degraded or depleted shelter, artificial …

Human activity can impose additional stressors to wildlife, both directly and indirectly,
including through the introduction of predators and influences on native predators. As urban …

Animals alter their habitat use in response to the energetic demands of movement ('energy
landscapes') and the risk of predation ('the landscape of fear'). Recent research suggests …

Globally, grassland degradation is an acute ecological problem. In alpine grassland on the
Tibetan Plateau, increased densities of various small mammals in degraded grassland are …
