Habitat selection is a fundamental animal behavior that shapes a wide range of ecological
processes, including animal movement, nutrient transfer, trophic dynamics and population …

Behaviour is the interface between an organism and its environment, and behavioural
plasticity is important for organisms to cope with environmental change. Social behaviour is …

While the tendency to return to previously visited locations—termed 'site fidelity'—is common
in animals, the cause of this behaviour is not well understood. One hypothesis is that site …

Habitat selection is a fundamental behaviour that links individuals to the resources required
for survival and reproduction. Although natural selection acts on an individual's phenotype …

Despite being widely used, habitat selection models are rarely reliable and informative
when applied across different ecosystems or over time. One possible explanation is that …

Gut microbiomes are widely hypothesised to influence host fitness and have been
experimentally shown to affect host health and phenotypes under laboratory conditions …

Although local variation in territorial predator density is often correlated with habitat quality,
the causal mechanism underlying this frequently observed association is poorly understood …

Although it is well established that density dependence drives changes in organismal
abundance over time, relatively little is known about how density dependence affects …

Major disturbances can temporarily remove factors that otherwise constrain population
abundance and distribution. During such windows of relaxed top‐down and/or bottom‐up …

The increasing number of deer–vehicle collisions (DVCs) across Europe during recent
decades poses a serious threat to human health and animal welfare and increasing costs for …
