Human activities reshape the spatial overlap between North Chinese leopard and its wild ungulate prey [PDF]
Frontiers in ZoologyBackground Rapidly expanding human activities have profoundly changed the habitat use of both large carnivores and their prey, but whether and how human activities affect the interactions between them has received relatively less attention. In this study,

Mitigating Effects of Nest Structure on Predation Risk in Hainan Partridge (<i>Arborophila ardens</i>). [PDF]
Ecol EvolEnclosed nest structures can disrupt predator search efficiency and reduce predation risk. Predation rate in the uncovered group was significantly higher than that in the covered group. Our study highlights the functional limitations of nest‐structure evolution within complex predation environments.
