Foraging–vigilance trade-offs in a partially migratory population: comparing migrants and residents on a sympatric range

TL;DR: In this article , the authors focus on the ecological and environmental complexities driving disconnects between three stages of the predation sequence that are often assumed to be tightly linked: spatial overlap, encounters and prey capture.

TL;DR: This study shows that spatially explicit random walks can be used to identify behavioral strategies that merge environmental information and explicit spatiotemporal information on past movements to make movement decisions, which allows us to better understand cognition‐based movement in relation to dynamic environments and resources.

TL;DR: Habitat recovery in natural wetlands and community co-management in the surrounding human-dominated landscape is recommended for conservation of the hooded crane and, generally, for the vast numbers of migratory waterbirds wintering in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River floodplain.

TL;DR: This study studied female eastern grey kangaroos during winter and summer to investigate how group size, distance to cover, proximity between foragers and food patch quality affected decisions of foraging female kangaroo to exhibit antipredator or social vigilance, distinguishing vigilance with and without chewing.

TL;DR: Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) in Banff National Park exhibit predictable migratory patterns, traveling 52-138 km/year with 2000m elevation change, returning to same ranges annually, suggesting a vestige of post-reintroduction dispersal from the Bow River valley.

TL;DR: Two grasses native to Western Canada, namely, common speargrass Stipa comata Trin.

TL;DR: The Better to Eat You With as discussed by the authors is a chronicle of the author's search for answers about how naive animals avoid extinction when they encounter reintroduced carnivores and how can a better understanding of current predator-prey behavior help demystify past extinction and inform future conservation.

TL;DR: It is suggested that aversive conditioning on horseback can temporarily reduce grazing pressure on threatened grasslands, but is unlikely to change migratory behaviour.
