ABSTRACT The population distribution and habitat selection of top predators are critically important for species conservation and habitat management. While previous studies have identified environmental characteristics and food resources as factors influencing animal habitat selection, the roles of potential intra‐ and interspecific competition have ...

Distribution, Habitat Use and Conservation of the Bornean Ferret Badger
The Bornean ferret badger (Melogale everetti) is an Endangered, range‐restricted carnivore whose ecology and distribution remain poorly known. Using multi‐site camera‐trap surveys across Sabah's western mountain massif combined with habitat suitability and connectivity modelling, we documented 407 detections from 60 stations, including the first ...

Canal Construction Disrupts Camouflage in Two Sympatric Estuarine Crab Species
Estuarine ecosystems provide essential habitats for fiddler crabs, whose survival heavily relies on background‐matching camouflage. Anthropogenic modifications such as canal construction can alter the visual properties of these habitats, yet direct empirical evidence of their impact on crustacean camouflage remains limited.

Habitat and Anthropogenic Determinants of Otter Presence in the Karnali River, Western Nepal
Despite increasing human pressures, otters persist along the Western Bend of the Karnali River. Occurrence of otters decreases with higher house density and presence of dogs. The study indicates otters tolerate some general human activity but strongly avoid settlements and dogs, highlighting the need for dog management, reduced settlement pressure, and

Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) diet is driven by the gradient of C3 and C4 plant availability
Abstract Intraspecific variation in diet is often influenced by geographic location, resource availability, trophic position, or foraging specialization and can result in environmental changes exerting heterogeneous effects across the species' distribution.
