The editor’s choice is the article by Hagen et al. “Dead birds flying”: Can North American rehabilitated raptors released into the wild mitigate anthropogenic mortality? ” Conservation practice is full of untested paradigms, and wildlife rehabilitation is one of them. Rescuing,...
The editor’s choice is the article by Bison et al.: “ Camera traps reveal seasonal variation in activity and occupancy of the Alpine mountain hare ( Lepus timidus varronis ) ” Even in densely populated and well-studied regions, some elusive species have largely escaped...
By Ales Vorel On April 23, 2024 our team ( Czech University of Life Sciences from Prague ), which conducts telemetry research on wolves in the České Švýcarsko National Park as part of the Interreg Redema project, received information about the hunting of roe deer by at least two...
By Falko Brieger In Germany, the high risk of wildlife–vehicle collisions (WVC) is increasing due to increasing traffic volumes and road densities as well as the growing population densities of common ungulate species. To prevent WVC, wildlife fencing is a common tool in Germany...
