by By Han Yan ,Xuejun Ma ,Weikang Yang, andFeng Xu
Species(bat): whooper swans Abstract: Habitat selection has been a central focus of animal ecology, with research primarily concentrating on habitat choice, utilization, and evaluation. However, studies confined to a single scale often fail to reveal the habitat selection needs of animals fully a... -
Behavioral plasticity of raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides) provides new insights for urban wildlife management in metropolis Shanghai, China
by Yihan Wang1, Qianqian Zhao1, Lishan Tang2, Weiming Lin1, Zhuojin Zhang3, Yixin Diao1, Yue Weng1, Bojian Gu1, Yidi Feng4, Qing Zhao
Species(bat): raccoon dogs Abstract: As urbanization exposes wildlife to new challenging conditions and environmental pressures, species that exhibit a high degree of behavioral plasticity are considered potentially capable of colonizing and adapting to urban environments. However, differences in... -
Subadult movements contribute to population level migratory connectivity
by Yingjun Wang , Zhengwu Pan , Yali Si , Lijia Wen , Yumin Guo
Journal: Animal BehaviourVolume 215, September 2024, Pages 143-152 Species(bat): black-necked cranes Abstract: Migratory connectivity describes the degree to which migratory populations are mixed across space and time. Unlike adults, subadult birds often exhibit distinct migratory patterns and c... -
