Animal Behavioral Responses to the COVID-19 Quietus

Lockdown measures fundamentally reshaped human society during the COVID-19 pandemic. We present a framework featuring seven animal behavioral changes as a result of the calming effect of the lock downs on human actions (COVID1 9 quietus). We demonstrate how this framework can be used to quantify animal behavioral responses with implications for ecology and conservation.
