The wolf is back! Non‐consumptive effects of the return of a large carnivore on the use of supplementary feeding sites by roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how prey species tradeoff predation risk and resource acquisition is particularly important for advancing our knowledge of predator–prey relationships. We investigated this by studying the use of concentrated anthropogenic resources, namely supplementary feeding sites, by roe deer Capreolus capreolus before and after grey wolf Canis lupus

A Study of Population Size and Activity Patterns and Their Relationship to the Prey Species of the Eurasian Lynx Using a Camera Trapping Approach

Animals, 2019
Revealing the behavioral relationships between predators and their prey is fundamental in understanding the community structure and ecosystem functions of such animals.

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

Status of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in the Italian Alps: an overview 2000–2004

Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2006
To assess the status of lynx we analysed lynx signs of presence within the Ital- ian Alps from 2000–2004. A total of 411 signs of lynx presence have been collected, compared to 261 signs during the previous pentad. Lynx tracks were the most frequent sign

Adaptive harvesting of two trophic levels stabilises predator–prey dynamics. Simulations with Eurasian lynx and European roe deer

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Europe has seen the recovery of many species of wild herbivores, which are now widespread across much of the continent. In addition, large carnivores are also recolonising many European countries. Most ungulates are managed through hunting, but natural predation can also have a significant influence in many areas.

Prioritizing areas for wolf management in Austria by modelling potential habitat and depredation risk

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The recovery of wolf populations across Europe has reignited human–wildlife conflicts, particularly in countries such as Austria, where wolves have been absent for more than a century. Livestock depredation remains one of the primary sources of tension, and effective management requires a solid spatial basis for planning.

Introduction of AI-based sales forecasting: how to drive digital transformation in food and beverage outlets

Discover Artificial Intelligence
Food and beverage (F&B) outlets such as restaurants, delis and fast-food joins are commonly owner-operated small businesses with limited access to modern forecasting technologies. Managers often rely on experience-based forecasting heuristics, which face

A literature‐based framework for anticipating golden jackal Canis aureus colonisation: insights from Europe and a Swiss case study

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The expansion of the golden jackal Canis aureus in Europe, caused mainly by habitat fragmentation, climate change and the decline of large carnivores until half a century ago, poses emerging challenges for newly colonised regions. With the arrival of a new species, potential effects on local animal communities, hunting, livestock husbandry or the ...

Insights into subspecies classification and conservation priorities of Central Asian lynx populations revealed by morphometric and genetic analyses

Scientific Reports
The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) exhibits geographic variability and phylogenetic intraspecific relationships. Previous morphological studies have suggested the existence of multiple lynx subspecies, but recent genetic research has questioned this ...
