Livestock depredation by large carnivores in northern Botswana
Human-carnivore conflict is a leading cause of large carnivore declines and minimizing these conflicts is vital to maintaining viable carnivore populations.

In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

Chacma baboons exhibited context‐dependent flight and vigilance behavior in response to experimental predator vocalizations in Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park. Reactions were strongest in juveniles and in individuals with fewer otherbaboons in frame and in response to leopard and wild dog cues, and weakened with increased exposure to predators ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

A metapopulation approach to African lion (Panthera leo) conservation.
Due to anthropogenic pressures, African lion (Panthera leo) populations in Kenya and Tanzania are increasingly limited to fragmented populations. Lions living on isolated habitat patches exist in a matrix of less-preferred habitat. A framework of habitat

Sociability Under Anthropogenic Change: From Individual Behaviour to Population‐Level Consequences
Our review synthesises empirical and theoretical research on how anthropogenic environmental change reshapes animal social behaviour from individuals to populations. We use sociability as an individual‐level lens, distinguishing context‐dependent expression from repeatable interindividual differences and linking both to social relationships, network ...

Balancing Food, Heat and Predation Risk: Seasonal and Diel Movement Strategies of African Herbivores
Using high‐resolution GPS data, we investigated how plains zebra and tsessebe in Botswana's Okavango Delta adjusted their movement across seasons, the diel cycle and changing maximum daily temperature and vegetation greenness. Zebra generally occupied larger ranges, travelled farther and followed less tortuous paths than tsessebe, although these ...

Spatiotemporal strategies of carnivore coexistence in an arid system
Abstract How species coexist within shared spaces can provide insights into guild structures and resource requirements, and has wide‐ranging implications for conservation managers. Within arid, multiuse landscapes, carnivore space use is compressed into predictable resource patches, potentially shifting coexistence from broad spatial segregation to ...
