Daily activity timing in the Anthropocene
Animals are facing novel 'timescapes' in which the stimuli entraining their daily activity
patterns no longer match historical conditions due to anthropogenic disturbance. However …

Designing studies of predation risk for improved inference in carnivore-ungulate systems
Quantifying both the lethal and non-lethal (or “risk”) effects of predation has emerged as a
major research focus in carnivore-ungulate systems. While numerous studies have …

Optimizing the use of biologgers for movement ecology research
The paradigm‐changing opportunities of biologging sensors for ecological research,
especially movement ecology, are vast, but the crucial questions of how best to match the …

[HTML][HTML] Large carnivore response to human road use suggests a landscape of coexistence
Coexistence between humans and large carnivores may depend on carnivore adaptations
to use developed landscapes while reducing human encounters. Roads are a widespread …

Black bears alter movements in response to anthropogenic features with time of day and season
KA Zeller, DW Wattles, L Conlee, S DeStefano - Movement Ecology, 2019 - Springer
Background With the growth and expansion of human development, large mammals will
increasingly encounter humans, elevating the likelihood of human-wildlife conflicts …

Evaluating species‐specific responses to camera‐trap survey designs
Camera traps are widely used to collect information on the distribution and abundance of
multiple species simultaneously. However, we still lack important guidance for designing …

Bears habituate to the repeated exposure of a novel stimulus, unmanned aircraft systems
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS; ie 'drones') provide new opportunities for data collection
in ecology, wildlife biology and conservation. Yet, several studies have documented …

Mismatch between risk and response may amplify lethal and non-lethal effects of humans on wild animal populations
Human activity has rapidly transformed the planet, leading to declines of animal populations
around the world through a range of direct and indirect pathways. Humans have strong …

Dynamic balancing of risks and rewards in a large herbivore: Further extending predator–prey concepts to road ecology
Animal behaviour is shaped by the ability to identify risks and profitably balance the levels of
risks encountered with the payoffs experienced. Anthropogenic disturbances like roads …

Individual and population fitness consequences associated with large carnivore use of residential development
Large carnivores are negotiating increasingly developed landscapes, but little is known
about how such behavioral plasticity influences their demographic rates and population …
