Fig. 2: Disturbance intensity: Impacts of collaring on activity and displacements during the initial 10 days post-release.
From: Mammals show faster recovery from capture and tagging in human-disturbed landscapes
Daily differences to the long-term mean of activity (upper) and displacements (lower) split by diet: herbivores (left), omnivores (middle), and carnivores (right) for 42 mammal species, n = 1585. All species with p ≤ 0.05 are shown as solid lines and species with p > 0.05 or n < 5 as dotted lines. Activity: R2 = 0.374, Dev. explained = 46.4%, displacements: R2 = 0.25, Dev. explained = 37.6%. Predictions are derived from two Generalized Additive Mixed Models with Gamma error distributions to assess the effect of disturbance intensity on activity and displacements of the focal species over time. The dotted blue line represents the long-term mean (average for days 11−20). In the legend following each species name, the first number refers to the number of individuals for activity and the second for displacements.
