, 2004 Shrub encroachment, i.e. the increase in woody plant cover, is a major concern for livestock farming in southern Kalahari savannas. We developed a grid-based computer model simulating the population dynamics of Grewia flava, a common, fleshy-fruited ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.As human‐modified landscape and climate changes proliferate, maintaining biodiversity and understanding the function and quality of available habitat is imperative. As anurans (frogs/toads) such as Pseudacris crucifer, can be an indicator species of habitat quality and ecosystem productivity, studying the anuran community in a mixed‐land use region ...

Ungulate substrate use in fauna passages
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Fauna passages are increasingly constructed at major roads and railways to mitigate the negative effects of infrastructure and traffic on wildlife. The function of such passages depends on design, including the construction materials, soil, and vegetation.

New to town: home range size, habitat selection and behavioral adaptations by urban hares
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.European hares Lepus europaeus have recently been shown to colonize urban areas in different parts of Europe. This appears to be a novel phenomenon, and little is known about the space use and behavioral adaptations of hares living in urban areas. Here, we describe the first findings concerning home range sizes from GPS‐collared hares (n = 3) in Aarhus

Behavioral response of moose Alces alces to summer heat stress
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Minnesota moose are heat‐stressed during summers, which is adversely impacting their survival. We used both movement and activity data to explore the behavioral responses of Minnesota moose experiencing heat stress, termed ‘hot moose events' or HMEs, to understand how both ambient temperature and available habitat contribute to the ability of these ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Studies on animals continue to attract criticism, often relating to not accounting for variation, for issues with data quality, reproducibility and generalisability, yet one source of variation remains rarely systematically incorporated: differences in individuals' affective states.

Remotely sensed estimation of shrub encroachment : a case study on the Great Alvar, Öland, Sweden
, 2018 The increase of shrub extent in arid and semi-arid environments is reducing the species richness all over the globe. This process of shrub encroachment was found to result from changes in anthropogenic land use, especially from too high or too low ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Obtaining accurate information on demographic states, such as the age and sex classes of animals, is an important step for monitoring wildlife populations. Traditionally, demographic data are collected from harvest, aerial surveys and telemetry studies.
