From behaviour to demography: plasticity and interdependence of terrestrial large mammal responses to global changes in boreal environments

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Boreal forests were traditionally structured by natural disturbances (wildfires, windthrow, insect outbreaks), but anthropogenic footprint (habitat loss and fragmentation) became prevalent in the last decades, overriding natural disturbances and forcing wildlife to adapt to a rapidly changing environment. It is of prime importance to understand the impacts of both types of disturbances on species – habitat relationships, species interactions (predation, competition) and ultimately population fluctuations (expansion, decline).
