Understanding variation in the diet of widely distributed species can help us to predict how
they respond to future environmental and anthropogenic changes. We studied the diet of the …

Many wild animals perform hiding behaviours for a variety of reasons, such as evading
predators or other conspecifics. Unlike their wild counterparts, farmed animals often live in …

Some carnivores are known to survive well in urban habitats, yet the underlying behavioral
tactics are poorly understood. One likely explanation for the success in urban habitats might …

Ground‐nesting farmland birds such as the grey partridge (Perdix perdix) have been rapidly
declining due to a combination of habitat loss, food shortage, and predation. Predator …

This study examined the effects of burrow digging and habitation by the European badger
(Meles meles) and the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) on soil properties and the plant community …

Wind farms are still develo** dynamically worldwide, with promising prospects for further
growth. Therefore, the assessment of their impact on animals has been carried out. So far …

In this fascinating book, Terry O'Connor explores a distinction that is deeply ingrained in
much of the language that we use in zoology, human-animal studies, and archaeology—the …

The anthropogenic food subsidy in the diet of animal populations is known to have negative
ecological and physiological impacts on wildlife. The red fox (Vulpes vulpes), a generalist …

Identifying the behavioural patterns of bone collecting animals is a crucial aspect of
taphonomic studies. Although many studies have established criteria for identifying animal …

Mesocarnivores are increasingly recognized as key drivers of community dynamics, but the
effects of bottom-up and abiotic factors on mesocarnivore populations remain poorly …
