Fecal and vaginal microbiomes of North American Elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni)
, 2023 The North American elk (Cervus canadensis nelsoni) is a natural reservoir of Brucella abortus, the causative agent of bovine brucellosis. This disease results in abortion and costly reproductive issues, and transmission of B.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Using a unique 35‐year dataset, this study shows that domestic livestock do not facilitate wild large herbivores as predicted by the grazing optimization hypothesis. Instead, competition caused avoidance of cattle by elk which intensified under drought, and highlights how climate change influences interactions among domestic and wild large herbivores ...

Assessing ridden horse behavior: professional judgment and physiological measures [PDF]
, 2014 The assessment of ridden horse behavior by 12 equestrian professionals (riding instructors n ¼ 4, riders n ¼ 4, veterinarians n ¼ 4) was compared with observed behavior and physiological measures (salivary cortisol and eye temperature).

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.In an urban‐adjacent forested area, we investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of the wild mammal community in relation to day‐to‐day fluctuations of human presence occurring between working days and weekends. We deployed 52 camera‐traps systematically within an EU Natura 2000 area located within the metropolitan area of Florence, central ...

An assessment of the aversive nature of an animal management procedure (clipping) using behavioral and physiological measures [PDF]
, 2013 Animal management often involves procedures that, while unlikely to cause physical pain, still cause aversive responses. The domestic horse ( Equus caballus ) regularly has excessive hair clipped off to facilitate its use as a riding/driving animal and ...

Thematic and hotspot analysis of human-elk conflicts statewide in California
California Fish and Wildlife Journal, 2021 Human-wildlife conflicts are an important factor for consideration in wildlife management at urban-wildland interfaces. Effective and adaptive management of human-wildlife conflicts is needed to promote tolerance and coexistence of humans and wildlife ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Despite being an important fraction of any animal population, juveniles are a severely understudied group. Juveniles often need to learn an array of skills that allow them to survive independently and do so while undertaking decisions that may impact their fitness, recruitment and survival, having therefore relevant demographic implications.
