Habitat selection is a fundamental animal behavior that shapes a wide range of ecological
processes, including animal movement, nutrient transfer, trophic dynamics and population …

Recent progress in positioning technology facilitates the collection of massive amounts of
sequential spatial data on animals. This has led to new opportunities and challenges when …

Predation by grey wolves Canis lupus has been identified as an important cause of boreal
woodland caribou Rangifer tarandus caribou mortality, and it has been hypothesized that …

The development and presence of roads can reduce landscape permeability, lead to habitat
loss, and increase habitat fragmentation. It is these fundamental changes in landscape …

Fear of predation can have major impacts on the behaviour of prey species. Recently the
concept of the ecology of fear has been defined and formalised; yet there has been relatively …

For group-living animals traveling through heterogeneous landscapes, collective movement
can be influenced by both habitat structure and social interactions. Yet research in collective …

Long-term tracking using global positioning systems (GPS) is widely used to study
vertebrate movement ecology, including fine-scale habitat selection as well as large-scale …

Expansion of human activities into large carnivore habitats and of large carnivore ranges
into anthropogenic settings increase the potential for human-wildlife conflicts. Future …
