New research on wild boar resting sites in Europe! 🐗
In anthropized landscapes, where resting sites are sometimes a limiting resource for many animals, their spatial layout may play an often unnoticed yet important role in allowing animal movements across the landscape.🌳

Anthropization impacts the selection of resting sites and their centrality in movement networks: wild boar across Europe as an example
For many animal species, resting and activity happen at distinct sites. As animals are limited in how far they can travel between resting and foraging sites, the spatial layout of those sites may con...
