As plants develop from seeds to seedlings, juveniles and mature stages, their ontogeny can
constrain the expression of resistance to herbivore damage. Nevertheless, ecological and …

The behaviour of the iconic ichnogenus Chondrites is re-evaluated based on review of
existing literature and analysis of novel data (macroscopic, thin section and ESEM-EDX …

The green wave hypothesis (GWH) states that migrating animals should track or 'surf'high-
quality forage at the leading edge of spring green-up. To index such high-quality forage …

This review highlights the latest developments associated with the use of the Normalized
Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in ecology. Over the last decade, the NDVI has proven …

To understand modern principles of sustainable management and the conservation of
wildlife species requires intimate knowledge about demography, animal behavior, and …

Dynamic body acceleration (DBA) has been used as a proxy for energy expenditure in
logger-equipped animals, with researchers summing the acceleration (overall dynamic body …

The concept of refugee species provides a theoretical framework towards increasing the
predictive power of the 'declining population paradigm'through identifying species which are …

Sternberg and Wagner (this issue) propose to add two new constructs to existing theory of
human ability:“practical intelligence" and “tacit knowledge." Practical intelligence is simply a …

Mechanisms that affect the spatial distribution of animals are typically scale‐dependent and
may involve forage distribution. Forage quality and quantity are often inversely correlated …

Many animal species are unevenly distributed across the landscape, in spatial patterns that
continually shift over time. Such a shifting mosaic is thought to have profound implications …
