Wild rabbit restocking: Suitable acclimation conditions foster adaptive behaviour and improve survival of captive reared rabbits

World Rabbit Science, 2017
Wild rabbit is a very important species in the Mediterranean region. Its relevance is both ecological, being a keystone species —prey for several predators— and economic, as it is the most important and the most managed small game species among mammals ...

Crop use structures resource selection strategies for African elephants in a human‐dominated landscape

Ecology and Evolution
To conserve wide‐ranging species in degraded landscapes, it is essential to understand how the behavior of animals changes in relation to the degree and composition of modification.

Temporal variations in female moose responses to roads and logging in the absence of wolves

Ecology and Evolution
Animal movements, needed to acquire food resources, avoid predation risk, and find breeding partners, are influenced by annual and circadian cycles. Decisions related to movement reflect a quest to maximize benefits while limiting costs, especially in ...

Are Current Protection Methods Ensuring the Safe Emancipation of Young Black Storks? Telemetry Study of Space Use by Black Storks (Ciconia nigra) in the Early Post-Breeding Period

Animals
The black stork is a protected species in Poland, and its numbers have declined significantly in recent years. The protection of nesting sites during the period of growth and independence of young birds is crucial for the population.

Spatial Overlap and Behavioral Interactions Among Four Habronattus Jumping Spider Species in a Mixed‐Species Assemblage

Ecology and Evolution
Within mixed‐species assemblages, closely related species may face interspecific competition and reproductive interference. Species may evolve adaptations to outcompete or coexist, though most assemblages likely exist in a nonequilibrium state between ...

Western spotted skunk spatial ecology in the temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest

Ecosphere
A major threat to small mammalian carnivore populations is human‐induced land use change, but conservation and management are inhibited by limited knowledge about their ecology and natural history. To fill a key knowledge gap of the western spotted skunk
