Ecological drivers of carrion beetle (Staphylinidae: Silphinae) diversity on small to large mammals
Ecology and EvolutionSilphinae (Staphylinidae; carrion beetles) are important contributors to the efficient decomposition and recycling of carrion necromass. Their community composition is important for the provision of this ecosystem function and can be affected by abiotic ...

In situ feeding as a new management tool to conserve orphaned Eurasian lynx (lynx lynx)
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 High human‐caused mortality due to wildlife‐vehicle‐collisions and illegal killing leads to frequent cases of orphaned Eurasian lynx juveniles. Under natural conditions, this would result in starvation of the young.

Carrion odor and cattle grazing [PDF]
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2013 Recently, it has been proposed on theoretical grounds that carrion odor from flowers may not only attract pollinators, but also repel mammalian herbivores. Two grazing experiments involving 16 to 26 cattle heads per year, one for eight years (1982-1989) and the other for seven (1994-2000), in a region with no large carnivores that could influence ...
