On the ground and above: Forest Composition Effects on Terrestrial and Arboreal Small Mammals and their Consequences for Seed Dynamics
(2025-04-10)1- Forest admixtures and non-native tree species have been increasingly employed in forestry practices as they have the potential to mitigate climate change impacts, enhance biodiversity and yield a greater economic ... -
Effects of managed forest stand composition on small mammal demography and reciprocal effects on seed predation patterns in Northern Germany
(2024-04-08)In an effort to ameliorate the impacts of climate change, forest managers in Central Europe increasingly turn to conifer species that produce higher yields and are better adapted to projected future climatic conditions. ... -
Improving rhinoceros conservation and management through behaviour-based research: Evidence from Botswana
(2023-07-07)Illegal wildlife trafficking is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss. Some of the most targeted species of illegal wildlife trade are rhinoceroses (“rhinos”), which exist nowadays in distinct populations in several ... -
Distribution, ecology and conservation priorities of the critically endangered Balkan lynx (Lynx lynx balcanicus Bureš, 1941)
(2022-10-11)Large-bodied mammals require large space for their daily activities, sometimes causing conflicts with humans. Although Europe’s policy ushered the comeback of herbivores and large carnivores, the overcrowded continent ... -
Impacts of landscape fragmentation on red deer (Cervus elaphus) and European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris): a nation-wide landscape genetic analysis
(2022-04-14)All around the globe, species biodiversity is threatened by landscape fragmentation and habitat loss. The consequences of these two processes are manifold and they can result in loss of ecosystem functions and extinction ... -
Combining landscape genetics and movement ecology to assess functional connectivity for red deer (Cervus elaphus) in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
(2021-06-15)Human-caused restrictions like the fragmentation of the landscape poses a major challenge to wildlife conservation. Large and mobile species such as red deer (Cervus elaphus) are subject to increasing effects of isolation ... -
Advancing our understanding of animal dispersal and functional connectivity in human-altered landscapes: conceptual considerations and their empirical and simulation-based demonstration
(2020-08-21)Dispersal, the movement from a natal site to a new breeding site, is a key process in ecology and evolution. By determining the dynamics and distribution of populations and gene flow among them, dispersal is essential for ... -
Identification of the specific volatile organic compounds emitted by Anoplophora glabripennis (Moschulsky)
(2020-04-21)The globalisation and the increasing international trade have raised the number and risk of introduction of foreign species and invasive pests for years. Although native species have adapted to the native habitat over many ... -
Increasing ecological realism in conservation network design
(2017-06-22)Human-caused fragmentation and loss of natural habitat are among the world’s major challenges today. In combination with climate change, these processes contribute to soaring local and global extinction of many plant and ... -
Evaluating, Implementing, and Applying Methods for Analysing Animal Biotelemetry Data
(2016-04-19)Movement ecology is an emerging discipline within ecology. Researchers addressing ba- sic and applied questions within the movement ecology framework often rely on animal biotelemetry data. Biotelemetry sensors can collect ...
