Habitat complexity and prey composition shape an apex predator's habitat use across contrasting landscapes

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Complementary endozoochorous long-distance seed dispersal by three native herbivorous ungulates in Europe

open access: yes, 2016
Herbivorous ungulates are key species in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, and their recent demographic and geographic expansion in some temperate regions is likely to influence ecological processes, particularly if we consider plants and the ...

Validation of a handheld smartphone markerless gait‐analysis tool using an estimated groundline in horses

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A handheld smartphone‐based computer vision algorithm (RealHorse® [RH]) offers accessible alternatives for equine gait analysis but requires validation against a gold‐standard three‐dimensional multicamera optical motion capture system (Qualisys® [QS]).

Patterns of diet and body mass of large ungulates from the Pleistocene of Western Europe, and their relation to vegetation

open access: yes, 2016
Ungulate diets may vary following differences in vegetation, and their body size is affected by a complex set of ecological and physiological variables.

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.

Experimental Assessment of the Effects of Substrate Choice on the Duration of Chemical Signals in Fecal Scent‐Marks of Free‐Ranging Iberian Wolves

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication, typically based on feces, urine, and glandular secretions, often deposited as substrate scent marks, plays a key role in social organization and communication among many mammals, especially carnivores. This study assesses experimentally whether the type of substrate chosen for fecal deposition and the temperature ...

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Preferential browsing impact in an uneven-aged beech forest in Hungary. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Because of selective feeding of ungulates diverse uneven-aged forests (e.g. virgin beech forests) are probably more resistant to browsing impacts than even-aged ones.

Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis of Prey Bone Remains Accumulated by Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): A Case of Nests in Southern France

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...
