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 …

The impact of early stress on juvenile development has intrigued scientists for decades, but
the adaptive significance of such effects remains an ongoing debate. This debate has …

There has recently been great interest in the use of accelerometers onboard electronic
transmitters to characterise various aspects of the ecology of wild animals. We review use …

Spatial heterogeneity in ecological systems can result from animal‐driven top–down
processes, but despite some theoretical attention, the emergence of spatial heterogeneity …

The balance between resource acquisition and risk avoidance should vary according to
personality type, with potential knock-on effects for fitness. Although previous studies have …

Behavioural variation at the individual level has been shown to play an important role in
animal ecology and evolution. Whereas most studies have focused on subadult or adult …

The boreal forest is one of the world's ecosystems most affected by global climate warming.
The snowshoe hare, its predators, and their population dynamics dominate the mammalian …

Understanding animal personality, that is, consistent behavioural variation among
individuals, is essential for elucidating the evolutionary origins of human personality …

Wildlife populations are increasingly exposed to human-induced modifications of their
habitats. To cope with anthropogenic stressors, animals can adjust their behaviour—for …

Predators can affect ecosystems through non‐consumptive effects (NCE) on their prey,
which can lead to cascading effects on the vegetation. In mammalian communities, such …
