Climate change and timing of avian breeding and migration: evolutionary versus plastic changes
There are multiple observations around the globe showing that in many avian species, both
the timing of migration and breeding have advanced, due to warmer springs. Here, we …

[HTML][HTML] State of the world's raptors: Distributions, threats, and conservation recommendations
Raptors provide critical ecosystem services, yet there is currently no systematic, global
synthesis of their conservation status or threats. We review the International Union for the …

Predators and the breeding bird: behavioral and reproductive flexibility under the risk of predation
SL Lima - Biological reviews, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
ABSTRACT A growing body of work suggests that breeding birds have a significant capacity
to assess and respond, over ecological time, to changes in the risk of predation to both …

Top predators as conservation tools: ecological rationale, assumptions, and efficacy
We review the ecological rationale behind the potential compatibility between top predators
and biodiversity conservation, and examine their effectiveness as surrogate species …

A 'dynamic'landscape of fear: prey responses to spatiotemporal variations in predation risk across the lunar cycle
Ambiguous empirical support for 'landscapes of fear'in natural systems may stem from failure
to consider dynamic temporal changes in predation risk. The lunar cycle dramatically alters …

Intraguild predation in raptor assemblages: a review
Intraguild predation, the killing of species that use similar resources, has been largely
overlooked in raptor investigations. To help fill this gap in knowledge, we conducted a …

Responses of a top and a meso predator and their prey to moon phases
We compared movement patterns and rhythms of activity of a top predator, the Iberian lynx
Lynx pardinus, a mesopredator, the red fox Vulpes vulpes, and their shared principal prey …

Evidence that dingoes limit abundance of a mesopredator in eastern Australian forests
Summary 1 Aggressive behaviour of top predators may have strong effects on the
distribution and abundance of mesopredator species. Such interactions between predator …
