Human disturbance compresses the spatiotemporal niche. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022
Human disturbance may fundamentally alter the way that species interact, a prospect that remains poorly understood. We investigated whether anthropogenic landscape modification increases or decreases co-occurrence—a prerequisite for species interactions—within wildlife communities.

Increased tolerance to humans among disturbed wildlife [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2015
AbstractHuman disturbance drives the decline of many species, both directly and indirectly. Nonetheless, some species do particularly well around humans. One mechanism that may explain coexistence is the degree to which a species tolerates human disturbance.

Human disturbance increases coronavirus prevalence in bats. [PDF]

Sci Adv, 2023
Human land modification is a known driver of animal-to-human transmission of infectious agents (zoonotic spillover). Infection prevalence in the reservoir is a key predictor of spillover, but landscape-level associations between the intensity of land modification and infection rates in wildlife remain largely untested.

Reduced human disturbance increases diurnal activity in wolves, but not Eurasian lynx

Global Ecology and Conservation
Wildlife in the Anthropocene is increasingly spatially and temporally constrained by lethal and non-lethal human disturbance. For large carnivores with extensive space requirements, like wolves and Eurasian lynx, avoiding human disturbance in European ...

Human disturbance in riparian areas disrupts predator–prey interactions between grizzly bears and salmon [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Wildlife must increasingly balance trade‐offs between the need to access important foods and the mortality risks associated with human‐dominated landscapes.

Human Disturbance and Geometric Constraints Drive Small Mammal Diversity and Community Structure along an Elevational Gradient in Eastern China [PDF]

Animals, 2022
Understanding the mechanisms influencing patterns and processes of biological diversity is critical to protecting biodiversity, particularly in species-rich ecosystems such as mountains.

Breeding success of little grebe, Tachybaptus ruficollis, at a wastewater treatment facility at Khon Kaen University, Thailand: The influence of human activity [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020
Wetlands are crucial nesting areas for the little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis). Our study was conducted at a wastewater treatment facility at Khon Kaen University in northeastern Thailand to determine whether human disturbance affected the breeding ...

The impact of anthropogenic activities on the physicochemical characteristics of Cheleleka peat, Ethiopia

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2021
Cheleleka peatland is located at the eastern side of Lake Hawassa and its biological communities face a variety of anthropogenic factors such as agricultural expansion, water diversion, settlement and subsequent peatland drainage and peat extraction. The

Managers and shorebird biologists' perceptions of enforcement and voluntary compliance techniques to increase compliance with dog regulations on beaches

People and Nature, 2022
Disturbance to shorebirds by domestic dogs can cause direct and indirect bird mortality. Dog regulations to minimize disturbance are only effective if people comply with them.
