Hunting, but not outdoor recreation, modulates behavioural tolerance to human disturbance in Alpine marmots Marmota marmota

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Humans are often perceived as predators by free‐living animals, and thus, even non‐consumptive human activities such as outdoor recreation may trigger behavioural and physiological responses, often with negative consequences on individual fitness and population persistence.

Living under the scope: behavior affects survival in a heavily harvested and long‐lived ungulate

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
The spatiotemporal behavior of game species may play a critical role in their survival throughout the hunting season. Where humans are the most dominant predators, avoidance of landscape features that allow hunter access to hunting grounds can be key to increasing survival.

Effects of hunting on waterbird numbers in Mediterranean coastal wetlands in France: the case of the Hérault department

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
Waterfowl hunting plays a complex role in the conservation of waterbird populations. While hunting can provide conservation benefits, excessive or unregulated hunting may threaten waterbird populations, particularly for species with declining numbers or high sensitivity to human disturbances.

Behavioural responses of a gamebird to human encounters across the hunting season

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 2, March 2026.
We examined the behavioural adaptation of rock ptarmigan Lagopus muta in response to human encounters across the hunting season. We conducted disturbance experiments in two different parts of the species' range, in subarctic (Iceland) and in alpine (Italy) habitats.
