Living under the scope: behavior affects survival in a heavily harvested and long‐lived ungulate

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The spatiotemporal behavior of game species may play a critical role in their survival throughout the hunting season. Where humans are the most dominant predators, avoidance of landscape features that allow hunter access to hunting grounds can be key to increasing survival.

Ontogeny of foraging behaviour in an opportunistic gull inhabiting urban marine ecosystems

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urbanization affects ecosystems by reducing biodiversity and displacing species from native habitats. While some suffer, others, like urban wildlife, adapt through innovative feeding and behaviours that improve their fitness in human‐altered settings. Despite research on wildlife in urban areas, the development of foraging behaviour in urban species is

Maximizing the detection probabilities of dusky grouse for population monitoring

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Despite its status as a game species in the western USA, rigorous monitoring of dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus populations is limited. Obtaining an adequate number of observations for effective population monitoring of dusky grouse is challenging due to difficult‐to‐reach montane habitats, cryptic behaviors, and limited personnel, time, and funds at

Navigating a landscape of contrasting hunting regimes and habitats: red deer responses to risk and resources

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Habitat selection of ungulates is influenced by various factors, with human interactions playing a significant role. Human disturbances through hunting strongly affect ungulate behaviour, often forcing them to modify their habitat choices by avoiding areas where the risk from humans outweighs other habitat benefits. Gaining insights into these dynamics

Hunting regulations and movements of alpine reindeer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Most ungulate populations are regulated by hunting, and harvest rate is regulated through quotas and hunting season duration. Hunting is well known to affect behaviour of ungulates, but how annual variation in quotas and hunting season duration affects individual behaviour remains uncertain.
