Temporal interactions of Irish hare with (a) all tarmacked areas and (b) runways (active, inactive and semi‐operational) only at Dublin Airport (December 2021–August 2022). Seasons were defined as Winter (Dec–Feb), Spring (Mar–May) and Summer (Jun‐Aug). Light grey shaded areas show the range of sunrise and sunset times throughout the study (i.e., 21st June vs. 21st December). Dark grey shaded areas show hours of darkness across the entire study. Interactions of Irish hare for all tarmacked area interactions relative to sunrise/sunset are shown in (c). Shaded areas imply hours after sunset and lighter areas imply hours after sunrise. Mean ± IQR are represented by boxplots (left) and the density and spread of the data are represented by raincloud plots (right; Allen et al., 2021). The mean annual offset of events relative to sunrise and sunset across all seasons is denoted by the dashed line.

Understanding how animals move and use space within an environment is vital for the development and implementation of effective management actions. Within airfield environments, animal movement can present a substantial risk to aircraft, resulting in wildlife‐aircraft collisions (strikes) if animals enter into the manoeuvring areas of the airfield,...

In human‐dominated landscapes, rebounding bear populations share space with people, which may lead to bear–human conflicts and, consequently, a decrease in acceptance and an increase in bear mortality linked to human causes. Previous analyses of brown bear (Ursus arctos) movement data have shown that bears adopt a security‐food trade‐off strategy i...
