TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse self-reported fear of four large carnivore species in a representative sample of the Norwegian population and find that women expressed significantly more fear of these species than did men, and expressed fear increased with age in both sexes.

TL;DR: Sex emerged as a significant explanatory variable with males having larger home ranges than females and the size of male home-ranges increased faster with decreasing prey density than for females, which supports widely held predictions that variation in home-range size is due to variation in prey density.

TL;DR: There is no trade-off between pre- and postnatal care in any of the two populations of roe deer, and the conditions under which the pattern of maternal care could impose trade-offs that affect the individual offspring are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main causes of mortality in adult Eurasian lynx in all the study areas were overwhelmingly anthropogenic, with starvation, vehicle collisions, intra-and interspecific killing and disease only having a minor role.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed some refinements of the ecological-niche factor analysis (ENFA) to describe precisely one organism's habitat selection, based on the concept of ecological niche, and provided a measure of the realised niche within the available space from the computation of two parameters, the marginality and the specialization.
