Live-capture of animals is a widely used technique in ecological research, and previously trapped individuals often respond to traps with either attraction or avoidance. The effects of trapping on animals’ risk perception are not often studied, altho... Read More about The influence of live-capture on the risk perceptions of habituated samango monkeys.

Assessing the Effects of Tourist Provisioning on the Health of Wild Barbary Macaques in Morocco (2016)
Journal Article
Marechal, L., Semple, S., Majolo, B., & MacLarnon, A. (2016). Assessing the Effects of Tourist Provisioning on the Health of Wild Barbary Macaques in Morocco. PLoS ONE, 11(5), Article e0155920. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0155920

Feeding wildlife is a very popular tourist activity, largely because it facilitates the close observation of animals in their natural habitat. Such provisioning may benefit animals by improving their survival and reproductive success, especially duri...
