Oikos, EarlyView.Animal movement and reproductive behaviour are crucial components of ecological and evolutionary processes. After parturition, the behaviour of reproducing females adapts to the needs of their offspring, including thermoregulation, protection and food provisioning.

Oikos, EarlyView.The abundance and composition of flowers within plant communities shape the resources available to flower‐visiting insects. However, it remains unclear how nutrient enrichment and changes in grazing impact plant communities and their floral resources, and whether these effects contribute to ongoing pollinator decline. We investigated how the abundance,

Oikos, EarlyView.Capture–recapture (CR) models have been used for decades to estimate population size and demographic rates in natural populations from the monitoring of individuals. One of the most frequent deviations from assumptions required in CR studies is the immediate trap‐dependence that corresponds to the correlation between capture events. We review empirical

The Economic Effects in 2002 of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in Wisconsin [PDF]
Wisconsin's 600,000 deer hunters will bear the brunt of the economic losses from chronic wasting disease (CWD) in the Wisconsin deer herd. Though studies have not been done to pinpoint a precise value, preliminary estimates place the losses to deer ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.
