Camera-trapping surveys, in combination with traditional capture-recapture or spatially explicit capture-recapture techniques, have become popular for estimating the density of individually identifiable carnivores. When ...

Dispersal constitutes one of the main processes that shape population genetic structure and dynamics. Combining a capture-mark-resighting methodology and molecular genetics analyses, we studied the natal dispersal behaviour ...

Southern sea lions (Otaria flavescens; SSLs) have a polygynous mating system and a prolonged social-sexual maturation period for males. Male haulouts are common in this species, with some very distant from central breeding ...

Context. Hunting has demographic effects on large and medium carnivores, causing population reductions and evenextinctions worldwide. Yet, there is little information on carnivore demographic parameters and spatial and ...

Giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) populations are decreasing throughout their range. We tested a methodology for individual identification using camera records and fur patterns to estimate the giant anteater population ...

The choice of appropriate conservation strategies for reef fishes depends on their mobility, degree of site fidelity and residence times. Here we report the results of a small-scale mark–recapture and resighting study ...

Large-scale ungulate migrations result in changes in prey availability for top predators and, as a consequence, can alter predator behavior. Migration may include entire populations of prey species, but often prey populations ...
