The conservation of large carnivores is a formidable challenge for biodiversity conservation.
Using a data set on the past and current status of brown bears (Ursus arctos), Eurasian lynx (…

Animal movement is fundamental for ecosystem functioning and species survival, yet the
effects of the anthropogenic footprint on animal movements have not been estimated across …

… The optimum cut-off value would be P = 0·4, and the least error of the model was close to P
= 0·6. We therefore chose for model transfer a cut-off value in between P opt and P fair of P = …

Conservation biologists often must make management decisions based on little empirical
information. In Germany, biologists are concerned that the recovery and reintroduction of …

COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 reduced human mobility, providing an opportunity to
disentangle its effects on animals from those of landscape modifications. Using GPS data, we …
