Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Human-primate conflict: an interdisciplinary evaluation of wildlife crop raiding on commercial crop farms in Limpopo Province, South Africa [PDF]
, 2016 Understanding and addressing conflict between farmers and wildlife due to crop raiding is of increasing conservation concern. Raiding impacts farmers’ livelihoods, reduces tolerance to wildlife and often results in lethal methods of retaliation. Although

OccuGAMs: Non‐linear occupancy and abundance modelling with imperfect detection
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Hierarchical occupancy and abundance models (HOAMs) have become a leading approach for inferring wildlife population dynamics because they explicitly account for imperfect detection. HOAMs are suitable for sampling approaches that produce detection histories from repeated visits to the same sites, including direct observations (e.g. bird point

Perception of Disease Risk and Vulnerability as a Function of Proximity to National Park Boundaries in East Africa [PDF]
, 2013 Studies suggest households closest to parks and protected areas (PAs) are more likely to sustain park-related losses, but the relationship between human sickness and PAs has not been fully explored. Existing literature primarily focuses on human-wildlife

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Nutritional content explains the attractiveness of cacao to crop raiding Tonkean macaques
Current Zoology, 2013 Nutritional ecology has been linked to crop raiding behavior in a number of wildlife taxa. Here our goal is to explore the role nutrition plays in cacao crop raiding by Tonkean macaques Macaca tonkeana in Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.
