Ethology, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2024.ABSTRACT Predatory interactions result in strong selection pressures acting on multiple aspects of animal behaviour. Anti‐predator strategies are therefore common in most animals, typically signalling at various stages of a predation event. Many species of caprimulgids perform conspicuous anti‐predator displays, including stereotyped behaviours and ...

Vulnerability to lead toxicosis and bioindicator utility of deer scavengers in New York
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 88, Issue 8, November 2024.Wildlife may be exposed to lead through ingestion of contaminated big game harvested with lead bullets. We identified avian and mammalian scavengers of white‐tailed deer in New York and conducted species vulnerability and utility assessments. Our analyses point to bald eagles as the most vulnerable to lead toxicosis and best‐suited bioindicator for ...
