2012, Ecological ModellingCitation Excerpt :This information includes census data and radio telemetry studies in some protected areas (Gill et al., 2008; Corti et al., 2010). Other studies have addressed general biology and reproductive strategies (Díaz and Smith-Flueck, 2000; Povilitis, 1983, 1985), natural mortality patterns (Smith-Flueck and Flueck, 2001; Corti et al., 2010), sexual segregation and habitat selection (Díaz and Smith-Flueck, 2000; Frid, 1994, 1999, 2001; Povilitis, 1998), home range (Aldridge and Montecinos, 1998; Gill et al., 2008; Povilitis, 1985), group size (Díaz and Smith-Flueck, 2000; Frid, 1994, 1999; Povilitis, 1983) and interactions with cattle (Frid, 2001; Povilitis, 1998). Although knowledge of huemul biology is more detailed than that of most of the other Chilean mammals, previous to this study, this information had not been compiled for the purpose of modeling the relationships between landscape configuration, individual movement and population trends.
Coordination, independence or synchronization of individual vigilance in the eastern grey kangaroo?
2007, Animal BehaviourCitation Excerpt :Ambiguities arise when animals are not tightly clumped (Frid 1997), in particular if individuals join and leave the cluster of group members during short periods of time (Martin & Bateson 1993). Several ungulate studies have offered no definition (Berger 1978; Risenhoover & Bailey 1985; Prins & Iason 1989); others have defined groups on arbitrary interindividual distances (Alados 1985; FitzGibbon 1990; Scheel 1993; Frid 1994). Finally, Frid (1997) suggested that to belong to the same group, individuals had to be under a similar predation risk in terms of structural attributes of the environment.

2001, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :Poaching, habitat destruction, and conflicts with cattle (Bos taurus) have been proposed as the principal threats to the species (Povilitis, 1983, 1998; Smith-Flueck and Smith, 1995). During 1990 I studied habitat use by 22 individual huemul at Fiordo Témpano, a remote and roadless periglacial site in Bernardo O’Higgins National Park, south-coastal Chile (Frid, 1994). During observations, huemul spent almost equal amounts of time on rocky slopes and on grassland, and spent little time in other habitats.
