Diet selection in the Coyote Canis latrans. [PDF]
J Mammal, 2023 Abstract The Coyote (Canis latrans) is one of the most studied species in North America with at least 445 papers on its diet alone. While this research has yielded excellent reviews of what coyotes eat, it has been inadequate to draw deeper conclusions because no synthesis to date has considered prey availability.

Association of maternal genetics with the gut microbiome and eucalypt diet selection in captive koalas [PDF]
PeerJBackground Koalas, an Australian arboreal marsupial, depend on eucalypt tree leaves for their diet. They selectively consume only a few of the hundreds of available eucalypt species.

Effects of Anthropogenic Disturbance of Natural Habitats on the Feeding Ecology of Moorish Geckos
Animals, 2023 Urbanization and anthropic influences can drastically modify a natural habitat and transform it into an easily recognizable “urban habitat”. Human activities can also induce less severe modifications of what apparently might still look like natural ...

Humans rather than Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) shape ungulate browsing patterns in a temperate forest
Ecosphere, 2022 The recolonization of human‐dominated landscapes by large carnivores has been followed with considerable scientific interest; however, little is known about their interactive effect on ungulate foraging behavior.
