Toward an identification of resources influencing habitat use in a multi-specific context. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Interactions between animal behaviour and the environment are both shaping observed habitat use. Despite the importance of inter-specific interactions on the habitat use performed by individuals, most previous analyses have focused on case studies of ...

Dynamic Range Size Analysis of Territorial Animals: An Optimality Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Home range sizes of territorial animals are often observed to vary periodically in response to sea-sonal changes in foraging opportunities. Here we develop the first mechanistic model focusedon the temporal dynamics of home range expansion and ...

The effect of roads on spider monkeys' home range and mobility in a heterogeneous regenerating forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Arboreal fauna living in tropical ecosystems may be particularly affected by roads given their dependency on forest cover and the high vulnerability of such ecosystems to changes. Over a period of 4 yr, we followed subgroups of spider monkeys living in a

Home range and habitat use of reintroduced Javan Deer in Panaitan Island, Ujung Kulon National Park

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015
The Javan deer which inhabit Panaitan Island (± 175 Km2) were reintroduced from Peucang Island (± 4.5 Km2) during 1978–1982 (3 males: 13 females). The information of home range and habitat use of these animals were needed for wildlife habitat management ...

The impacts of anthropogenic linear features on the space-use patterns of two sympatric ungulates

open access: yesMovement Ecology
As human activity increases worldwide, many ecologists have focused on how anthropogenic linear features (ALFs) such as roads and fences impact and disrupt animal space-use behavior and how this disruption could potentially affect population viability ...
