Rapid behavioral responses of endangered tigers to major roads during COVID-19 lockdown

“…It is possible, for example, that she adjusted her movements to take advantage of more abundant, concentrated prey during and directly after the monsoon. Indeed, higher tiger prey abundances were found post-monsoon compared to pre-monsoon periods in Similipal Tiger Reserve, India ( Upadhyay et al, 2019 ). However, it is unlikely the monsoon caused the shrinkage in her space use area since it shrank immediately following the lockdown and just before the onset of the monsoon.…”

The semi-arid ecosystem of Asiatic Lion Landscape in Saurashtra, Gujarat: Population density, biomass and conservation of nine wild prey species

“…However, road transect violates one of the important assumptions of distance sampling, i.e., independent distribution of animals along the line. Nevertheless, it has evolved as one of the most robust scientific methodologies to assess species abundance at the landscape level [26][27][28]. In addition, it is worth mentioning that certain areas within the study sites lacked a well-developed road network.…”
