Hunting as anthropogenic sink of biomass or source of carrion? A brief case study based on German hunting bags

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Dead biomass is a crucial nutrient source for ecosystems. Although hunting residues can subsidize numerous scavenging organisms and are known to drive important zoogeochemical processes at very different scales in the ecosystem, this has received little attention.

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

A literature‐based framework for anticipating golden jackal Canis aureus colonisation: insights from Europe and a Swiss case study

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The expansion of the golden jackal Canis aureus in Europe, caused mainly by habitat fragmentation, climate change and the decline of large carnivores until half a century ago, poses emerging challenges for newly colonised regions. With the arrival of a new species, potential effects on local animal communities, hunting, livestock husbandry or the ...

Behavioral Adaptation in Urban Wildlife

Urbanisation -- the rapid transformation of natural habitats into cities, suburbs, and industrial zones -- now coversapproximately 3% of Earth's land surface and is expanding at accelerating rates, exposing wildlife populations to novelenvironmental pressures including artificial light at night, noise pollution, altered thermal regimes, fragmented ...

Space and resource use by American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos in an area endemic for chronic wasting disease

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos is a common species throughout North America. Crows play a role in the ecology of multiple diseases and a single laboratory experiment has shown the potential for crows to pass infectious prions, such as those associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD), in their feces after being force‐fed with infected material ...
