Many studies on the coexistence of wildlife with livestock have focused primarily on similar-sized species. Furthermore, many of these studies have used dietary overlap as a measure of potential competition between interacting species and thus lack t

Two key factors that influence the foraging behaviour of group-living herbivores are food availability and individual dominance status. Yet, how the combination of these factors influences the patch-joining decisions of individuals foraging within gr

The deterrent effects of individual monoterpene odours on the dietary decisions of African elephants

African savanna elephants use pre-ingestive olfactory cues when making dietary choices, and previous research has observed that elephant diet choice is negatively correlated with vegetation species that contain high concentrations of monoterpenes. Ho

Harnessing the fear animals have of humans has the potential to aid in the conservation of wildlife. Most vertebrates perceive humans as “super predators.” While predator cues are an important nonlethal management tool, the use of human cues for

Odor is everywhere, emitted across the landscape from predators, prey, decaying carcasses, conspecifics, vegetation, surface water, and smoke. Many animals exploit odor to find food, avoid threats, and attract or judge potential mates. Here, we focus

For conservation biologists to be effective, they need to be able to communicate to the general public. In today’s world, communicating means tapping into social media platforms. To get our final-y...

The endangered oribi antelope Ourebia ourebi is highly dependent on privately owned lands for its continued survival in South Africa. Despite the fact that conserving oribi may result in costs to farmers in the form of land use restrictions and press

Vigilance is just one of the many fitness-enhancing activities that animals do each day. However, as vigilance is used for both predator detection and obtaining social information, individuals must decide how to divide their time between these two vi

While feeding, mammalian browsers (primarily eat woody plants) encounter secondary metabolites such as tannins. Browsers may bind these tannins using salivary proteins, whereas mammalian grazers (primarily eat grasses that generally lack tannins) lik

Eavesdropping on vocal signals allows animals to gather information about conspecifics. For males, eavesdropping can be a low-risk method for determining the dominance status (e.g. territorial or subordinate) and motivation (e.g. mate seeking) of riv
