There is a vast and ever-accumulating amount of behavioural data on individually recognised animals, an incredible resource to shed light the ecological evolutionary drivers variation in animal behaviour. Yet, full potential such lies comparative research across taxa with distinct life histories ecologies. Substantial challenges impede systematic comparisons, one which lack persistent, accessible standardised databases. Big-team approaches building databases offer solution facilitating...
ABSTRACT Synanthropes are known for their remarkable adaptability to coexist with humans, yet increased visibility exposes them significant threats, such as hunting or conflict over resources. Moore et al. 's review ‘The rise of hyperabundant native generalists threatens both humans and nature’ ( https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.12985 ) explores distribution patterns impacts macaques pigs in anthropogenic environments. Our critical evaluation this study revealed several substantial issues: the...
Infant survival is a major determinant of individual fitness and constitutes crucial factor in shaping species' ability to maintain viable populations changing environments.1Clutton-Brock T.H.

Accurately estimating population sizes for free-ranging animals through noninvasive methods, such as camera trap images, remains particularly limited by small datasets. To overcome this, we developed a flexible model upper limit populations and exemplified it studying group-living synanthrope, the long-tailed macaque ( Macaca fascicularis ). Habitat preference maps, based on environmental GPS data, were generated with maximum entropy combined data obtained from traps, line transect distance...
Abstract Human-induced habitat alterations globally threaten animal populations, often evoking complex behavioural responses in wildlife. This may be particularly dramatic when negatively affecting social behaviour, which fundamentally determines individual fitness and offspring survival group-living animals. Here, we provide first evidence for significant modifications sociality of southern pig-tailed macaques visiting Malaysian oil palm plantations search food despite elevated predation...
Deforestation is a major threat to terrestrial tropical ecosystems, particularly in Southeast Asia where human activities have dramatic consequences for the survival of many species. However, responses species anthropogenic impact are highly variable. In order establish effective conservation strategies, it critical determine species' ability persist degraded habitats. Here, we used camera trapping data provide first insights into temporal and spatial distribution southern pig-tailed...
