Startling ravens Corvus corax at foraging: differences in anti‐predator behaviour can be explained by age rather than personality

Journal of Avian Biology
When individuals of the same population do not respond uniformly to the same situation, they might experience divergent fitness outcomes, such as different survival rates when facing danger.

Weekend Overload: Day‐to‐Day Fluctuations of Outdoor Recreation Affect Wild Mammals' Space‐Use in a Popular Forest Reserve Near Florence, Italy

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...
