Assessing the potential of acoustic telemetry to underpin the regional management of basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)
Acoustic telemetry can provide valuable space-use data for a range of marine species. Yet the deployment of species-specific arrays over vast areas...

A matter of time not of co-occurrence: temporal partitioning facilitates coexistence between coyotes (Canis latrans) and gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) in temperate forests of Mexico
Sympatric species reduce competitive interactions by segregating their ecological niche as a strategy that promotes coexistence. The main dimensions...
