Human-induced global change has reached an unprecedented scale and intensity. Through intensive land use and the associated loss of species, humans are permanently altering the habitats and communities of wild animals. "How do predators manage to find their way in landscapes heavily shaped by humans and establish their niche?
It is precisely this question that interested us," says Kathi Kasper, a doctoral student at the MRI PAS, the EBD-CSIC and the Leibniz-IZW and an author of the study.
