Few topics in wildlife conservation are as controversial, emotive, or command as much public and political attention, as trophy hunting. International discourses regarding trophy hunting are characterised by radically contradictory assertions, rangin

Something in the wind: the influence of wind speed and direction on African lion movement behaviour

Autor: Matthew Wijers, Paul Trethowan, Byron du Preez, Andrew J Loveridge, Andrew Markham, David W Macdonald, Robert A Montgomery

Olfaction is a key sense, enabling animals to locate forage, select mates, navigate their environment, and avoid predation. Wind is an important abiotic factor that modulates the strength of olfactory information detected by animals. In theory, when

CARACAL: a versatile passive acoustic monitoring tool for wildlife research and conservation

Autor: Matthew Wijers, Andrew Markham, Andrew J. Loveridge, David W. Macdonald

Acoustic localisation technology has been widely tested and applied for passive acoustic monitoring and ecological research, however, hardware costs of commercially available devices limit scalability. Furthermore, few studies have explored its use w
