People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Attitudes and emotions shape how humans perceive and behave towards wildlife, making them a key component affecting human–wildlife coexistence. In addition to direct experience with wildlife, research shows that sociodemographic characteristics and locality can influence a person's relationship with wildlife through cultural norms, economic ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Private land conservation (PLC) can contribute to sustainability by improving biodiversity and human well‐being but can also result in negative outcomes for people and nature if poorly designed. Informing PLC design to achieve objectives for joint biodiversity and well‐being is challenging because most evaluations assess ecological and social ...

Relationship between food quality and body size of common vole in different habitats
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The body size of the common vole in crop fields (alfalfa, rape, cereals) is larger than in less‐cultivated habitats (forests, clearings, set‐aside) and is not related to food quality. Abstract BACKGROUND There is a close relationship between habitat, food and demographic parameters of common vole populations.

Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera traps have become an increasingly popular non‐invasive alternative to animal‐attached devices for studying wildlife behaviour. This study compared wolf (Canis lupus) activity patterns derived from collar accelerometers and road‐positioned camera traps and revealed strong overall agreement but also important seasonal and diel mismatches between ...

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...
