Centrales nucléaires à l’arrêt, transport fluvial menacé, récoltes amputées: la Loire, le Pô, le Rhin et le Danube ont tous touché ce mois-ci leur plus bas niveau jamais enregistré. Notre analyse des ...

By integrating density modelling with habitat suitability, we provide a decision-support framework for leopard conservation across sub-Saharan Africa. The results identify where conservation investme...

The expansion of the golden jackal Canis aureus in Europe, caused mainly by habitat fragmentation, climate change and the decline of large carnivores until half a century ago, poses emerging challeng...

Wild animals can adapt to the increasing presence of humans by either becoming accustomed to it or by avoiding humans by spatiotemporal separation. The return of the wolf to the German lowlands raise...

Translocations and reintroductions aim to improve the viability of isolated populations and promote connectivity for large carnivores. However, there is no established framework for assessing their s....

Our study highlights that when acclimatisation periods are too short, the substantial economic and logistical investment in soft-release protocols may fail to deliver the expected conservation gains....

Summary: A validated method, using accelerometry, to evaluate critical intensity across a large range of terrestrial mammals, allowing endurance and fatigue to be monitored in clinical settings and in...

Une publication du Département d’écologie et évolution partage un modèle pour estimer la population de léopards des neiges dans le monde.

The French population of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) is small and fragmented. Any emerging disease would endanger it even further, so disease survei…

Predation risk is a pervasive non-consumptive effect that can elicit acute and chronic physiological responses in prey species. While glucocorticoids …

Predation risk largely constrains prey behavior. However, whether predators may be scary also after death remains unexplored. Here, we describe the ‘fight-and-flight’ responses of a prey, the wild bo...

This paper examines how coexistence with the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) has been conceived and experienced differently over time by local actors based on ethnographic data in two sites in France: the V...

The domestic cat (Felis catus) descends from the African wildcat Felis lybica lybica. Its global distribution alongside humans testifies to its successful adaptation to anthropogenic environments. Unc...

L’alimentation des loups en Suisse est composée à 88,3 % d’animaux sauvages, des cerfs en particulier, et à 11,7 % d’animaux de rente, majoritairement des moutons. Elle varie aussi en fonction de la s...
