We integrate laboratory assays and GPS tracking to examine consistent risk‐taking behaviour in Fan‐tailed Ravens (Corvus rhipidurus) inhabiting Israel's Dead Sea coastline. Individual risk profiles were consistent across lab and field contexts, with risk‐prone birds remaining near tourist sites and risk‐averse birds ranging farther into natural ...

Marine mammals are vulnerable to a variety of anthropogenic threats, yet a global systematic map of the literature for 19 species found both spatial and temporal disparity in research effort between threats and between species.
