Impact of hunting modality on social contacts in wild boar populations across Europe Our study showcases how hunting disturbance influences social contact rates in a group-living wild mammal. Along with other biotic and abiotic drivers, hunting modality plays a significant role in sh...

Wherever I may roam—Human activity alters movements of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and elk (Cervus canadensis) across two continents Understanding changes in movement patterns of wide-ranging animals and responses to globally increasing human pressure are a key aspect in their conservation. Along a steep gradient of human activity...
