A taste for dung: food preferences of dung beetles uncovered

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Dung beetles have a generalist diet although they can develop preferences for specific excrements, such as elephant dung. Buffalo and wild boar dungs were broadly accepted among dung beetle species. In contrast, goat excrement was the least preferred. Abstract Insects represent the most megadiverse animal group, having evolved a wide range of feeding ...

Effect of Capreolus capreolus and Sus scrofa excreta on alanine aminotransferase activity in Glechoma hederacea leaves in conditions of Cd pollution

open access: yesVìsnik Dnìpropetrovsʹkogo Unìversitetu: Serìâ Bìologìâ, Ekologìâ, 2015
The paper reflects the analysis of Cd impact on the total activity (nM pyruvic acid/ml s) of alanine aminotransferase (ALT, EC 2.6.1.2) nitrogen metabolism and the content (mg/ml) of water-soluble protein fraction (albumin) in Glechoma hederacea L ...

Why the present is not the key to past or future: moving beyond restricted relict habitat conditions to improve outcomes in mountain woodland restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Mountain woodland restoration can enhance upland biodiversity and contribute to nature‐based solutions mitigating climate change impacts. However, high‐altitude planting of trees and shrubs requires considerable commitment of time and practical effort and should be evidence‐based to prioritize scarce resources for efficient ...

Various branching patterns of the aortic arch in the Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus, Pallas, 1771) on Jeju Island [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This study examined and compared the branching pattern of the aortic arch (AA) and its major branches in the Siberian roe deer (Capreolus pygargus) on Jeju Island (Jeju roe deer [JRD]) with those in the roe deer of the Korean peninsula (mainland roe deer

Nosna štrkljivost u srna (Capreolus capreolus L.)

open access: yesVeterinarska stanica, 2006
Nosna štrkljivost je relativno česta parazitska bolest srna u našim lovištima, a uzrokuje ju pretežito štrk Cephenemyia stimulator. Iako srne rijetko ugibaju od ove bolesti, loše gojno stanje, slabija otpornost i produktivnost (posebice kroz rast rogovlja) oboljelih grla daju snažan negativni predznak ekonomičnosti uzgoja srneće divljači.

Applying sterols and bile acids as biomarkers for identifying human versus wild animals' faecal traces in cave sediments at archaeological sites

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 1022-1039, August 2025.
Abstract Faecal biomarkers are used to trace and identify the source of faecal matter at various types of archaeological sites. Until now, the focus has been centred on humans and domesticated animals. However, in caves, it's wild animals that play a role in the deposition of organic matter.

A review of the methods for monitoring roe deer European populations with particular reference to Italy

open access: yesHystrix, the Italian Journal of Mammalogy, 2009
<strong>Abstract</strong> Throughout the last century, deer populations have shown a remarkable increase both in North America and Europe. As a consequence, the estimate of roe deer density has become a matter of interest.

Impact of supplemental winter feeding on ruminal microbiota of roe deer Capreolus capreolus

open access: yesWildlife Biology, 2019
European ungulates such as the roe deer face seasonally varying climatic conditions as well as food availability and quality. In some European countries, including Austria, it is common practice to provide game animals with supplemental feeding in winter.

Effects of chronic browsing on life‐history traits of an irruptive large herbivore population

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 265-282, July 2025.
This study aimed to determine the relationship between diet quality, body mass, and size (hind foot length), and female reproduction and sought to identify the mechanism by which high density under severe food limitations is maintained. Our results demonstrated that sika deer introduced to Nakanoshima Island have maintained high densities through high ...
