Does fear of humans predict anti-predator strategies in an ungulate hider species during fawning?

The study examines if fallow deer mothers with reduced fear of humans select less concealed fawning sites, but finds they instead choose more concealed sites for better offspring protection.

Fawn bedsite selection by a large ungulate living in a peri-urban area

This study examines how female fallow deer select birthing sites in response to human and dog presence in an urban park, finding they avoid high-traffic areas and prefer dense vegetation.

Curbing zoonotic disease spread in multi-host-species systems will require integrating novel data streams and analytical approaches: evidence from a scoping review of bovine tuberculosis

This paper reviews bTB research in multi-host systems, identifying gaps in studying human impacts, weather effects, and multi-host dynamics, and suggests integrating data and models for better control.
