Adivasi (Tea Tribe) worldviews of living close to wild Asian elephants in Assam, India. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract In Assam state, northeastern India, human–elephant conflict mitigation has included technocentric measures, such as installation of barriers, alternative livelihoods, and afforestation. Such measures treat conflict as a technical problem with linear cause–effect relations and are usually ineffective over the long term because they do not ...

A low‐cost, long‐running, open‐source stereo camera for tracking aquatic species and their behaviours

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, Page 2549-2556, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Ecologists are now widely utilising video data to quantify the behaviours and interactions of animals in the wild. This process can be facilitated by collecting videos in stereo, which can provide information about animals' positions, movements and behaviours in three‐dimensions (3D).

Incorporating multidimensional behavior into a risk management tool for a critically endangered and migratory species

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Conservation of migratory species exhibiting wide‐ranging and multidimensional behaviors is challenged by management efforts that only utilize horizontal movements or produce static spatial–temporal products. For the deep‐diving, critically endangered eastern Pacific leatherback turtle, tools that predict where turtles have high risks of ...

What makes a good pollinator? Abundant and specialised insects with long flight periods transport the most strawberry pollen

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 3, July–September 2023., 2023
Visitation and pollen data concluded that key pollinators of UK strawberry crops were abundant and had long flight periods (e.g. hoverfies, honeybees, wild bees). Pollinators also used non‐crop flowers, suggesting a need for diversity of resources. Abstract Despite the importance of insect pollination to produce marketable fruits, insect pollination ...

Bibliometric investigation of the integration of animal personality in conservation contexts

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Consistent individual differences in behavior, commonly termed animal personality, are a widespread phenomenon across taxa that have important consequences for fitness, natural selection, and trophic interactions. Animal personality research may prove useful in several conservation contexts, but which contexts remains to be determined.

Estimating encounter location distributions from animal tracking data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, Page 1158-1173, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Ecologists have long been interested in linking individual behaviour with higher level processes. For motile species, this ‘upscaling’ is governed by how well any given movement strategy maximizes encounters with positive factors and minimizes encounters with negative factors.

Digital data sources and methods for conservation culturomics

Conservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 398-411, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Ongoing loss of biological diversity is primarily the result of unsustainable human behavior. Thus, the long‐term success of biodiversity conservation depends on a thorough understanding of human–nature interactions. Such interactions are ubiquitous but vary greatly in time and space and are difficult to monitor efficiently at large spatial ...
