Estimating the seroprevalence of Mycobacterium bovis infection in a wild deer population in southwest England

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In England, transmission of Mycobacterium bovis between cattle and certain species of free‐roaming, wild deer has been implicated in some endemic bovine tuberculosis (bTB) regions. However, there are still data and knowledge gaps regarding the role of deer in the epidemiology of this disease.

Wildlife temporal behaviors in response to human activity changes during and following COVID‐19 park closures

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
With urbanization reducing the amount of available wildlife habitat, and outdoor recreation increasing the human activity within wildlife habitats, it is important to understand the effects of human activity on animal behavior. This study examined how the reduction in human presence in urban parks in Gainesville, Florida, affected the temporal ...

Improving manual tagging of camera trap videos for wildlife studies: a visual assistance tool applied to the endangered huillin Lontra provocax

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the last decades, the use of camera traps for wildlife studies has increased significantly due to advancements in technology leading to cost reduction and improved reliability. They facilitate the study of wild animals in their natural environment in a minimally invasive manner, eliminating the need for researchers to remain in the field for long ...

A Case Report on Rehabilitation of the Asiatic Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) in the Wild 亚洲黑熊 (Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) 野外放归野化案例报告

open access: yesWildlife Letters, EarlyView.
Asiatic black bears in Russia face conservation threats such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, which exacerbate food shortages caused by crop failures. This study explores an innovative approach to rehabilitating bears that abandon hibernation in mid‐winter due to extreme exhaustion by providing supplemental food near their den sites.

Quantification of sleep in dairy cows in three different stages of lactation

open access: yes, 2011
The aim of this project was to quantify the total sleep time in modern dairy cows during 24-hour periods and to investigate whether the total amount of sleep as well as time spent in different sleep stages varies between the dry period, early- and peak ...

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

A non-invasive method for measuring core body temperature and its contribution for sleep research : preliminary results

open access: yes, 2018
Wearable sensors are seen as the key technology in health monitoring and diagnostics. Core body temperature (CBT) is an important parameter that can be measured using a wearable sensor.

Torpor‐assisted migration: Regular use of shallow torpor reduces rest‐phase energy expenditure for songbirds during migration

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Migrating songbirds regularly use shallow torpor (up to 98% of birds for some species) to save energy (up to 42%) during inactive periods. This Ruby‐crowned Kinglet Corthylio calendula that was captured after a spring snowstorm highlights the value of being able to save energy when encountering unfavourable conditions.

Sustainable Tourism and Projectification: Evidence from South‐Eastern Italy

open access: yesThe Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how public policy can be used to promote local tourism and steer it towards sustainability. It uses the municipality of Lecce—a medium‐sized city in south‐eastern Italy—and the broader Salento region as a critical case study, drawing on descriptive statistics, administrative data on local policy projects promoting culture
