Contrasting Daytime Habitat Selection in Wild Red Deer Within and Outside Hunting Ban Areas Emphasises Importance of Small‐Scale Refuges From Humans Open
Prey species such as red deer ( Cervus elaphus ) select their habitats according to their requirements for landscape features and adapt this selection to the presence of predators and humans. We tested how networks of different types of pr…

It's time to go—Drivers and plasticity of migration phenology in a short‐distance migratory ungulate Open
Recurring events like migrations are an important part of the biological cycles of species. Understanding the factors influencing the timing of such events is crucial for determining how species face the pervasive consequences of climate c…

Exploring the use of REM in compact hunting grounds comparing site specific to average parameters Open
Wildlife management decisions require accurate knowledge of population parameters such as density. The random encounter model (REM) is effective for estimating densities of unmarked animals but has not been tested in areas smaller than 10 …

Comparing the accuracy of machine learning methods for classifying wild red deer behavior based on accelerometer data Open
Background Effective conservation requires understanding the behavior of the targeted species. However, some species can be difficult to observe in the wild, which is why GPS collars and other telemetry devices can be used to “observe” the…

Predicting fiber content in herbivore fecal samples using a multispecies NIRS model Open
Fiber is essential for rumen health, microbial fermentation, and the energy supply of herbivores. Even though the study of fecal fiber contents (neutral detergent fiber NDF, acid detergent fiber ADF, and acid detergent lignin ADL) using ne…

Alpine songbirds at higher elevations are only raised with a slight delay and therefore under harsher environmental conditions Open
The breeding phenology of birds is often timed to coincide with a peak in food availability. However, the shortening of the vegetation period with increasing elevation may force bird species at high elevations to breed earlier in relation …

Identifying the environmental drivers of corridors and predicting connectivity between seasonal ranges in multiple populations of Alpine ibex ( <i>Capra ibex</i> ) as tools for conserving migration Open
Aim Seasonal migrations, such as those of ungulates, are particularly threatened by habitat transformations and fragmentation, climate and other environmental changes caused by anthropogenic activities. Mountain ungulate migrations are neg…

Seeking temporal refugia to heat stress: increasing nocturnal activity despite predation risk Open
Flexibility in activity timing may enable organisms to quickly adapt to environmental changes. Under global warming, diurnally adapted endotherms may achieve a better energy balance by shifting their activity towards cooler nocturnal hours…

Start of dawn singing as related to physical environmental variables in an alpine environment Open
Birds often have a peak of singing activity at dawn, and the timing of dawn song is species-specific. However, the start of singing at dawn may also depend on environmental factors. We investigated the effects of different environmental va…

Boost in Visitor Numbers Post COVID-19 Shutdown: Consequences for an Alpine National Park Open
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic changed recreation patterns worldwide. Increases in protected areas’ visitor numbers were reported along with associated challenges. Changes in visitor numbers, composition, and motivation r…

The Influence of Wild Ungulates on Forest Regeneration in an Alpine National Park Open
The browsing of wild ungulates can have profound effects on the structure and composition of forests. In the Swiss National Park, the density of wild ungulates, including red deer (Cervus elaphus), ibex (Capra ibex), and chamois (Rupicapra…

Identifying the environmental drivers of corridors and predicting connectivity between seasonal ranges in multiple populations of Alpine ibex (<i>Capra ibex</i>) as tools for conserving migration Open
Seasonal migrations are central ecological processes connecting populations, species and ecosystems in time and space. Land migrations, such as those of ungulates, are particularly threatened by habitat transformations and fragmentation, c…

Strong and lasting impacts of past global warming on baleen whales and their prey Open
Global warming is affecting the population dynamics and trophic interactions across a wide range of ecosystems and habitats. Translating these real‐time effects into their long‐term consequences remains a challenge. The rapid and extreme w…

Reflections of ecological differences? Stress responses of sympatric Alpine chamois and red deer to weather, forage quality, and human disturbance Open
Depending on the habitats they live in, temperate ungulates have adapted to different degrees to seasonally changing forage and weather conditions, and to specific escape strategies from predators. Alpine chamois, a mountain ungulate, and …

Plastic adaptations of foraging strategies to variation in forage quality in Alpine chamois (<i>Rupicapra rupicapra</i>) Open
Foraging efficiency strongly affects individual fitness and is influenced by diverse factors such as food quality and quantity, as well as intra- and inter-specific interactions. We investigated whether Alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra …

Does selection on horn length of males and females differ in protected and hunted populations of a weakly dimorphic ungulate? Open
Weaponry in ungulates may be costly to grow and maintain, and different selective pressures in males and females may lead to sex‐biased natural survival. Sexual differences in the relationship between weapon growth and survival may increas…

Heterogeneity in Primary Productivity Influences Competitive Interactions between Red Deer and Alpine Chamois Open
Habitat heterogeneity can promote coexistence between herbivores of different body size limited to different extents by resource quantity and quality. Red deer (Cervus elaphus) are known as superior competitors to smaller species with simi…
