Emerging technologies for behavioral research in changing environments
The first response exhibited by animals to changing environments is typically behavioral.
Behavior is thus central to predicting, and mitigating, the impacts that natural and …

Variable strategies to solve risk–reward tradeoffs in carnivore communities
Mesopredator release theory suggests that dominant predators suppress subordinate
carnivores and ultimately shape community dynamics, but the assumption that subordinate …

There will be conflict–agricultural landscapes are prime, rather than marginal, habitats for Asian elephants
Misconceptions about species' ecological preferences compromise conservation efforts.
Whenever people and elephants share landscapes, human–elephant conflicts (HEC) occur …
