Epidemiology and fitness effects of wood mouse herpesvirus in a natural host population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Rodent gammaherpesviruses have become important models for understanding human herpesvirus diseases. In particular, interactions between murid herpesvirus 4 and Mus musculus (a non-natural host species) have been extensively studied under controlled ...

Low genetic variability, female-biased dispersal and high movement rates in an urban population of Eurasian badgersMeles meles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
1. Urban and rural populations of animals can differ in their behaviour, both in order to meet their ecological requirements and due to the constraints imposed by different environments.

Testing the precision and sensitivity of density estimates obtained with a camera‐trap method revealed limitations and opportunities

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
The use of camera traps in ecology helps affordably address questions about the distribution and density of cryptic and mobile species. The random encounter model (REM) is a camera‐trap method that has been developed to estimate population densities ...

When Do Robots Go Green? Unveiling Mechanisms, Thresholds, and Spillovers of Industrial Robotics on Global Ecological Capacity

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the relationship between industrial robotics adoption and ecological capacity, measured by biocapacity, using panel data from 50 countries over the period 2000–2024. We investigate the transmission mechanisms, non‐linearities, spatial spillovers, and heterogeneity characterizing this relationship.

Estimating wolf (Canis lupus) densities using video camera traps and spatial capture–recapture analysis

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Estimating population density is critical for effective species conservation, wildlife management planning, and long‐term monitoring. Obtaining accurate estimates is especially important for the wolf (Canis lupus), a widely distributed northern ...

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

Early maternal experience shapes offspring performance in the wild [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Both the environments experienced by a mother as a juvenile and an adult can affect her investment in offspring. However, the implications of these maternal legacies, both juvenile and adult, for offspring fitness in natural populations are unclear.

Mountains Without Borders: Scaling up Conservation Success for Snow Leopards

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This special issue assembles pioneering research addressing three critical and interconnected challenges: establishing where viable populations persist at range edges, advancing methods to monitor this cryptic species and its prey effectively, and evaluating whether landscapes remain connected across political boundaries.

Diffusion and Home Range Parameters from Rodent Population Measurements in Panama

open access: yes, 2005
Simple random walk considerations are used to interpret rodent population data collected in Hantavirus-related investigations in Panama regarding the short-tailed cane mouse, \emph{Zygodontomys brevicauda}.
