Biological Reviews, 2020 ABSTRACTCamouflage – adaptations that prevent detection and/or recognition – is a key example of evolution by natural selection, making it a primary focus in evolutionary ecology and animal behaviour. Most work has focused on camouflage as an anti‐predator adaptation. However, predators also display specific colours, patterns and behaviours that reduce

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Seasonal and annual climate variations are linked to fluctuations in the abundance and distribution of resources, posing a significant challenge to animals that need to adjust their foraging behavior accordingly.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Flight initiation distance (FID) procedures are used to assess the risk perception animals have for threats (e.g., natural predators, hunters), but it is unclear whether these assessments remain meaningful if animals have habituated to certain human ...

Biomechanics of predator–prey arms race in lion, zebra, cheetah and impala
Nature, 2018 The fastest and most manoeuvrable terrestrial animals are found in savannah habitats, where predators chase and capture running prey. Hunt outcome and success rate are critical to survival, so both predator and prey should evolve to be faster and/or more

, 2005 Predating predators requires at least three specimen to which we refer as players 1, 2, and 3. Player 1 has simply to guess nature when trying to find food. Player 2 is hunting player 1 in the hope that 1 is well-fed but must also avoid being hunted by player 3.

An Economical Custom-Built Drone for Assessing Whale Health
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have huge potential to improve the safety and efficiency of sample collection from wild animals under logistically challenging circumstances.

, 1998 .P ]redator-prey interactions have long captured the attention of ecologists, and with good reason. Predation leads inevitably to the removal of prey individuals from ecological systems, which can have major impacts on prey population dynamics and on ...

Mind the gap: Experimental tests to improve efficacy of fladry for nonlethal management of coyotes
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2019 Coyotes (Canis latrans) are the top predator of livestock in the contiguous United States. Developing more effective nonlethal tools to prevent coyote depredation will facilitate coexistence between livestock producers and coyotes.

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2015 Nonlethal deterrents against carnivores are important components to protecting livestock and conserving carnivore populations. However, the performance of the visual deterrent called fladry, a historical tool used to defend livestock from carnivores, is ...
