“The landscape of love”: sex-specific habitat-use during the mating season in a solitary large carnivore - Landscape Ecology Context In mammals, reproductive strategies and movement behavior can differ between sexes, influenced by biological and environmental factors. Whereas males typically adopt a “roam-to-mate” strategy,...

🚨 Paper Alert 🚨

Second PhD paper is out in Movement Ecology!

Exploring the behavioral responses of female #brownbears 🐻 to adult males! Females accompanied by dependent offspring, irrespective of age, perceive adult males as risk and use spatiotemporal avoidance tactics! #phd

What the surprising lives of solitary animals reveal about us A new understanding of why some animals evolved to be loners, and the benefits that brings, shows that a social lifestyle isn’t necessarily superior

Great to see the feature on the social behaviour of solitary animals being released by #NewScientist #SamWong!

The feature also includes a short section regarding the findings of my first PhD paper. #brownbears #social #solitary #animals #science #wildlife
