Den attendance by Arctic foxes experiencing 10 years of increasing tourism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism is a growing industry, and an increasing number of people seek to observe and interact with wild animals in their natural surroundings. In Iceland, the native Arctic fox Vulpes lagopus is widespread and has been under heavy hunting pressure for centuries.

Using a live‐streaming webcam to assess the behavioural responses of waterbirds to changes in the density of swans Cygnus spp.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife research has benefitted from the development of new methods that allow data to be collected remotely, with less disturbance to focal animals. The proliferation of livestreaming webcams, for example, those used by nature reserves for public engagement purposes, have offered new possibilities for the study of wildlife behaviour.

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Waterfowl Harvest Benefits in Northern Aboriginal Communities and Potential Climate Change Impacts [PDF]

Migratory waterfowl are important to the diets of residents in Canada’s northern communities. Contrary to recreational hunters, indigenous peoples have rights to harvest wildlife for subsistence needs without permits. As a result, migratory waterfowl are

Modification des conditions d'hivernage des oies sauvages dans les polders de Flandre occidentale, autour de la réserve du Zwin (Belgique), et de Flandre zélandaise (Pays-Bas) [PDF]

, 1972
This wintering increased considerably, due to 3 new factors: (1) the cultivation of an important acreage of rape, (2) the new methods of harvesting sugar beets and potatoes, (3) the management of the water level in the Zwin, making this sanctuary and ...

Convergent Interval Confirmation for Three‐Step Discrete Specific Zeroing Neural Dynamics Illustrated With Repetitive Motion Planning of Redundant Manipulators

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Repetitive motion planning (RMP) for redundant manipulators with high convergent precision becomes an intense research topic due to its more degrees of freedom. In this paper, a specific zeroing neural dynamics (SZND) model for the RMP is first set up via zeroing neurodynamics.

Wintry distribution patterns and habitat use of Greylag Geese Anser anser in a city in southern Germany [PDF]

, 2008
Anders als bei den meisten nordischen wilden Gänsepopulationen konnte bei den verwilderten Graugänsen in Stuttgart bisher kein ausgeprägtes Zugverhalten beobachtet werden. Über ihre Verbreitung im Winter war bisher wenig bekannt.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Environmental drivers of metapopulation dynamics throughout the full annual cycle in a declining Arctic‐nesting migratory herbivore

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We provide a framework for extending commonly used integrated population models to a metapopulation framework for testing novel ecological hypotheses about how changing environmental conditions within and among subpopulations drive changes in animal abundance.
