Reproductive tactics, birth timing and the trade-off between risk avoidance and foraging in an income breeder

This study examines how female roe deer adjust foraging and risk avoidance behaviors during birth, showing increased activity and habitat use changes post-partum, especially in late-parturient females.

Using accelerometers to infer behaviour of cryptic species in the wild

This study develops and validates a method using accelerometers to infer the behavior of free-ranging roe deer in the wild with high accuracy.

Identifying the environmental drivers of corridors and predicting connectivity between seasonal ranges in multiple populations of Alpine ibex (Capra ibex) as tools for conserving migration

The paper identifies environmental drivers of migration corridors and predicts connectivity between seasonal ranges of Alpine ibex populations to aid conservation.

Too hot or too disturbed? Temperatures more than hikers affect circadian activity of females in northern chamois

This study examines how high temperatures affect the circadian activity of female northern chamois more than hiker presence, using long-term GPS and activity sensor data.

Cellulosic copper nanoparticles and a hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant protect Vero E6 cells against infection by viral pseudotyped particles expressing SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV or MERS-CoV Spike protein.

The paper tests cellulosic copper nanoparticles and a hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectant against viral pseudoparticles and finds their combined use significantly reduces infectivity.

Path tortuosity changes the transport cost paradigm in terrestrial animals

The paper shows that path tortuosity affects transport cost in terrestrial animals, with minimum cost of transport speed decreasing as tortuosity increases.

Trends and gaps in the use of citizen science derived data as input for species distribution models: a quantitative review

This paper reviews trends and gaps in using citizen science data for species distribution models, finding increased usage but disparities in taxonomic and geographic coverage.
