Assessing habitat suitability for black grouse broods at the bioregional scale

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The black grouse Lyrurus tetrix, a galliform species emblematic of the European Alps, is currently threatened by habitat change, particularly given the closure of heathland linked to the rising tree line at higher altitudes. The presence of heathlands in good ecological condition is, however, imperative for the species' reproduction.

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

If you leave it, you lose it: Managing human–wildlife feeding interactions requires constant attention, interdisciplinary approaches and long‐term monitoring

People and Nature
Human–wildlife interactions are becoming more common as we progress through the Anthropocene. People tend to feed wildlife more regularly as it is often popularised by social media and can counteract their disconnect from the natural world.

Urbanisation and human activities influence the co‐occurrence of red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris and meso‐carnivores in Berlin, Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban expansion is a major driver of habitat fragmentation, shrinking wildlife habitat, and restricting wildlife movements and activity patterns. In this novel environment, species must adapt to the new composition of wildlife communities. For example, red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris are commonly found in urban environments, while their potential ...

From dusk till dawn: ecoacoustic monitoring reveals wind energy impacts on roding Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Renewable energy is vital for reducing carbon emissions and yet its infrastructure poses challenges to biodiversity. While the impacts of wind power on bats and raptors are well‐studied, the effects on elusive species remain largely unknown. The Eurasian woodcock Scolopax rusticola, a nocturnal forest bird, performs characteristic courtship flights at ...
