Continuous-trait game theory fills the niche of enabling analytically solvable models of the
evolution of biologically realistically complex traits. Game theory provides a mathematical …

Climate change and habitat destruction are widely recognized as major threats to species'
survival. As a result of these anthropogenic impacts, species are often forced into novel …

Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

Systematic rat control was developed in oil palm plantations in the 1960s and 1970s by
comparing bait mixtures and application techniques mainly for anticoagulant poisons, in …

Habitat-selection theory can be applied to solve numerous problems in the conservation and
management of wildlife. Many of the solutions involve the use of habitat isodars, graphs of …

We used a behavioral bioassay, in the form of foraging behavior of Gerbillus allenbyi, and
the ideal free distribution to estimate the costs associated with risk of predation. Experiments …

Rooted in the conceptual revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s, contemporary research on the
ecology of desert small mammals has progressed markedly in recent decades. Areas of …

Animals living in environments of different quality will have different expectations of their
future reproductive success and survival. This may affect the individual's risk-taking …

Numerous studies demonstrate that given the dichotomous choice of predator‐free habitats
vs. habitats containing predators, prey choose predator‐free habitats when foraging for food …

Several hypotheses might explain the evolution and maintenance of colour morphs within
animal populations. The 'alternative foraging strategy'hypothesis states that alternative …
