Disentangling Multitrophic Interactions: How Vegetation Cover, Wild Boar, Deer, and Predators Shape Rodents Activity and Acorn Dispersal

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.

A molecular genetic approach to roebuck individual identification in the case of poaching in Serbia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Application of the molecular genetic methods in forensic cases dealing with wild animals has significantly increased recently. These techniques are practically used in order to help solving four key problems : determination of kind of the wild ...

Uncovering temporal patterns of wildlife activity, habitat use and habitat preference from camera‐trap data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract An understanding of habitat use and levels of active behaviour is foundational to wildlife behaviour, ecology, conservation and management. These variables are commonly measured by tracking individuals in space and time using biologging. In principle, camera‐trap data also contain information about both activity level and habitat use; however,

A Unified Framework of Constrained Regression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Generalized additive models (GAMs) play an important role in modeling and understanding complex relationships in modern applied statistics. They allow for flexible, data-driven estimation of covariate effects.

Assessing Spatiotemporal Side Effects of Diversionary Feeding on Mesopredators

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We tested whether diversionary feeding alters the space use, aggregation, or activity patterns of mesopredators using a treatment‐control design with camera traps. Although both species frequently used feeding stations, diversionary feeding did not significantly affect their spatial distribution, aggregation, or temporal behaviour.

Prevalence and co-infection with tick-borne Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia spp. in red deer (Cervus elaphus) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in Southern Norway

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia spp. are causative agents of tick-borne infections that are increasingly considered as a threat to animal and public health.

Human Disturbance but Not Predation Risk Is Associated With Increased Vigilance in Roe Deer

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Roe deer vigilance is lower in natural than in modified habitats, decreases with group size, but is not significantly influenced by stable wolf presence, suggesting habitat‐driven risk perception and reliance on spatial avoidance over increased alertness.
