Temporal Responses to Warming: Do Wild Herbivores Trade Off Heat, Predators, and Humans?

Noemi Pallari, Niccolò Fattorini, Martina Calosi, Lorenzo Lazzeri et autres

Ongoing environmental changes are affecting behavioral responses of animal populations. Both warming temperatures and increased human disturbance may trigger adjustments in mammal activity patterns, for example, favoring activity switch to nighttime despite a greater risk of encountering nocturnal predators. Disentangling the relative …

Antipredator behaviour as a major determinant of prey altitudinal movements: the wolf and the chamois

Valerio Orazi, Matteo Panaccio, Sandro Lovari, Irene Belardi et autres

BACKGROUND: Predators have the potential to affect prey ecology through both direct effects on population dynamics or indirect effects on behaviour, e.g., by triggering antipredator strategies. Direct effects of predation on single prey species may be limited in ecosystems hosting alternative prey, …

Continent‐wide differences in diet breadth of large terrestrial carnivores: the effect of large prey and competitors

Francesco Ferretti, Sandro Lovari, Mauro Lucherini, Matt W. Hayward et autres

Abstract Despite their importance for understanding consumer‐resource dynamics, the dietary responses of large terrestrial predators to variations in prey richness and competition pressure are unclear. While a greater predator selectivity along with increasing prey abundance would be expected under an optimal foraging …

The crop and gizzard contents of 84 Common Kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) and 49 Common Buzzards (Buteo buteo), as well as the gizzard contents of 113 Little Owls (Athene noctua) and 70 Barn Owls (Tyro alba) were examined in the district of Siena …

Do honest signals or piercing weapons determine rank in a polygynous ungulate?

Niccolò Fattorini, Paolo Tizzani, Andrea Dematteis, Sandro Lovari

Abstract In polygynous ungulates, males are often larger than females and bear more elaborate/larger weapons. Quantifying sexual dimorphism in different traits could provide insights into species-specific evolutionary pathways of sexual selection. Concerning the combination of secondary sexual traits, we found that Himalayan …

Reproductive payoffs of territoriality are snow‐dependent in a mountain ungulate, the Alpine chamois

Antonella Cotza, Orlando Tomassini, Luca Corlatti, Francesco Ferretti et autres

Abstract Female density and distribution are dependent on resource phenology and female availability strongly influences male mating behaviour and success. When a male adopts a ‘resource defence’ tactic, his reproductive success depends on the location and attractiveness of his territory. Environmental factors …
