Reindeer habitat selection under the risk of brown bear predation during calving season
The depredation of semidomesticated reindeer by large carnivores reflects an important human–wildlife conflict in Fennoscandia. Recent studies have revealed that brown bears (Ursus arctos) may kill substantial numbers of reindeer calves (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in forest areas in Sweden. Several authors have suggested that predation risk is an important driver of habitat selection in wild R...
متن کاملGroup-size-mediated habitat selection and group fusion-fission dynamics of bison under predation risk.
For gregarious animals the cost-benefit trade-offs that drive habitat selection may vary dynamically with group size, which plays an important role in foraging and predator avoidance strategies. We examined how habitat selection by bison (Bison bison) varied as a function of group size and interpreted these patterns by testing whether habitat selection was more strongly driven by the competing ...
متن کاملHabitat suitability modelling from non-point data: The case study of brown bear habitat in Slovakia
a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Habitat suitability model Brown bear Geographical information system GARP The paper describes the procedure for constructing a habitat suitability model from the distribution maps of a modelled species. If exact locations are not available, old and present thematic maps indicating species distribution can be used instead. We developed this procedure to create the...
متن کاملHabitat selection under the risk of infectious disease
Question: How does the risk of infectious disease transmission affect individual habitat selection decisions and the resulting spatial distributions of populations? Mathematical method: We use a differential equation model to describe disease dynamics in two habitats coupled by natal dispersal and use an evolutionary game theoretical approach to calculate the evolutionarily stable strategy for ...
متن کاملScale dependence in habitat selection: the case of the endangered brown bear (Ursus arctos) in the Cantabrian Range (NW Spain)
Animals select habitat resources at multiple spatial scales. Thus, explicit attention to scale dependency in species–habitat relationships is critical to understand the habitat suitability patterns as perceived by organisms in complex landscapes. Identification of the scales at which particular environmental variables influence habitat selection may be as important as the selection of variables...
