Human presence and human footprint have non-equivalent effects on wildlife spatiotemporal habitat use
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.108383
Abstract: Abstract Human impacts on wildlife stem from both our footprint on the landscape and the presence of people in wildlife habitat. Each may influence wildlife at very different spatial and temporal scales, yet efforts to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-28560-w
Abstract: Black carbon (BC) from fossil fuel and biomass combustion darkens the snow and makes it melt sooner. The BC footprint of research activities and tourism in Antarctica has likely increased as human presence in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aje.12405
Abstract: Understanding the factors affecting a species’ population size is crucial for conservation initiatives. Hyraxes are small, gregarious animals, predominantly found on kopjes (rock outcrops) and thus form metapopulation communities. In Tanzania, two species of hyraxes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0286131
Abstract: Wildlife species may shift towards more nocturnal behavior in areas of higher human influence, but it is unclear how consistent this shift might be. We investigated how humans impact large mammal diel activities in a… read more here.
