Resource‐driven changes in wild boar movement and their consequences for the spread of African Swine Fever in the Russian Far East

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Knowledge of animal movement patterns is invaluable to understanding the spread of diseases among wildlife populations. One example is the recent African swine fever (ASF) outbreak among wild boar Sus scrofa populations across East Asia, where there is a lack of information on movements of this species.

Home range and core area characteristics of urban and rural coyotes and red foxes in southern Wisconsin

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Second‐order habitat selection is influenced by a variety of factors, including individual‐ and species‐specific traits and resource requirements, as well as landscape characteristics. By comparing home range characteristics across individuals, species, and landscapes, we can draw conclusions regarding whether and how different factors influence home ...

Complexity drives resource selection of two sympatric ungulate species

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
For decades, mule deer Odocoileus hemionus populations have appeared to shrink across their range in North America, while white‐tailed deer O. virginianus populations have increased, and their range has expanded. The underlying drivers of these patterns are unclear, and a combination of factors may be at play, including land use changes, climate change,

Stable social structure of spotted hyenas Crocuta crocuta during the dry and wet season in Central Tuli, Botswana

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Group‐living animals often exhibit dynamic social structures, with fission–fusion behavior enabling adaptive responses to environmental changes. Spotted hyenas Crocuta crocuta are large carnivores with complex social dynamics influenced by intrinsic factors, such as rank and kinship, and extrinsic factors, such as prey availability.

Behavioural responses of brown bears to helicopter capture

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding the effects of capture and handling on wild animals is crucial in evaluating ethical practices in ecological research, and in avoiding biased conclusions from misinterpreting biologging data potentially affected by capture. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of helicopter capture on the behaviour of Scandinavian brown bears ...
