The Balkan populations of the European wildcat are among the least studied. This study reports the first findings on the spatial ecology and activity pattern of the wildcat in Greece and compares them to those of better studied northern populations. We fitted five wildcats (two males, three females) with collars containing GPS and accelerometer loggers (E-obs 1A) and collected data from fall to early summer. All animals moved within a mosaic of lowland agricultural fields, woodland patches, riparian forests and wetlands near the banks of a lake. The trapping rate was the highest reported for the species. The home range sizes, estimated using Brownian bridge movement models, ranged from 0.94 to 3.08 km2 for females and from 1.22 to 4.43 km2 for males. Based on overall dynamic body acceleration (ODBA) values estimated from the accelerometer data, the diel activity of male wildcats followed the species’ typical nocturnal pattern with crepuscular peaks. Female activity varied seasonally, at times being cathemeral. We found only weak effects of environmental variables on wildcat activity, and no significant difference in the activity in open versus forested areas. Our findings suggest that human modified landscapes can play a significant role in the conservation of this typically forest-associated species. Full article

Open banking (OB) is an emerging business field in the financial sector, which relies on intensive collaboration between banks and non-banking service providers. However, how to evaluate OB business partners from multiple perspectives for banks is underexplored. Therefore, this study proposed a hybrid decision model with supports from seasoned domain experts. This study also adopts a domestic bank from Taiwan and four non-banking service providers to illustrate the hybrid approach with the confidence-weighted fuzzy assessment technique. The proposed model might be the first attempt to explore the OB adoption strategy by the novel approach. However, its limitations are the presumed independent relationship among the factors of this hybrid model. Additionally, the results hinge upon domain experts’ knowledge. In practice, the research findings identify the relative importance of banks’ crucial factors to select OB strategic partners, which provide managerial insights and valuable guidance for the banking sector.
