Unique utilisation pattern responses of five sympatric ungulates to local phenological gradients
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the habitat selection of five sympatric resident ungulates in relation to seasonal phenological gradients in a temperate grassland (Northern Great Plains) system.

TL;DR: For better predictions of tick-borne disease risk across the Mid-Atlantic region, it is recommended tracking changes in tick communities by continuous monitoring of tick burdens, densities of questing ticks, and prevalence oftick-borne pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal shifts in large mammal activity relative to fruit availability and hunting risk along a protected area boundary in Borneo
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined shifts in wildlife activity in forests within and adjacent to Lanjak Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary (LEWS), in Sarawak, Malaysia.
Ecology and social organization of a tropical deer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an ecological study of Thamin (Cervus eldi thamin) at Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary in central Myanmar; they maintained records on deer sightings and radiotracked 11 adult male and 8 adult female deer.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed the spatial patterns of trees in 21 large forest plots and found a general and strong latitudinal gradient in the relationship between conspecific aggregation and abundance of tree species, with stronger negative abundance-dependency as latitude increases.
