Ready for climate change? The importance of adaptive thermoregulatory flexibility for the Malagasy bat species Triaenops menamena [PDF]

arXiv
The balance between energy intake and expenditure is essential and crucial for survival for all organisms. The energy management is closely linked to the ecology. Thus, changes in environmental conditions can be challenging, especially for the animals physiology.

Land use in semi-free ranging Tonkean macaques Macaca tonkeana depends on environmental conditions: A geo-graphical information system approach

Current Zoology, 2011
Wild animals use their habitat according to ecological pressures such as predation, resource availability or temperature, yet little is known about how individuals use their environment in semi free-ranging conditions.

An Agent-Based Model of Elephant Crop Raid Dynamics in the Periyar-Agasthyamalai Complex, India [PDF]

arXiv
Human-wildlife conflict challenges conservation worldwide, which requires innovative management solutions. We developed a prototype Agent-Based Model (ABM) to simulate interactions between humans and solitary bull Asian elephants in the Periyar-Agasthyamalai complex of the Western Ghats in Kerala, India. The main challenges were the complex behavior of

Diurnal activity and resting time allocation of the West African giraffe in an agropastoral human-dominated landscape

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Resting is an integral component of animal behavior, contributing to one’s fitness through careful optimization strategies. In large herbivores, resting periods are driven by availability of food, presence of predators, and thermoregulation.
