Griffon Vulture movements are concentrated around roost and supplementary feeding stations: implications for wind energy development on Mediterranean islands

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) populations occur on Mediterranean islands, where wind energy is developing fast. As griffons are subjected to collisions with wind turbines while foraging, it is necessary to understand which factors affect their movements ...

Grazing ecology of female lambs on Italian ryegrass plus red clover pasture under different defoliation intensities Ecologia do pastejo por cordeiras em pastagem de azevém e trevo-vermelho sob diversas intensidades de desfolha

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2010
The relationship between pasture dynamics and ingestive behavior of female lambs was studied on Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) plus red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) mixture under a range of defoliation intensities.

Home range, mobility and hibernation of brown bears (Ursus arctos, Ursidae) in areas with supplementary feeding

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2020
Supplementary feeding, although a common practice, is seldom studied in terms of its effect on non-targeted species, such as the brown bear (Ursus arctos). We conducted a GPS-GSM telemetry study on nine individuals (out of about 100 supposedly inhabiting

Selection and use of feeding sites and feeding stations by herbivores: A review [PDF]

Annales de Zootechnie, 1998
Mieux comprendre la relation animal-végétation est nécessaire pour développer des systèmes de gestion qui favorisent le maintien par le pâturage d’une ressource suffisamment riche et abondante. Dans ces conditions, l’animal peut couvrir ses besoins nutritionnels et assurer une productivité suffisante, tout en participant à l’entretien du milieu.

Prey aggregation is an effective olfactory predator avoidance strategy [PDF]

, 2014
Predator–prey interactions have a major effect on species abundance and diversity, and aggregation is a well-known anti-predator behaviour. For immobile prey, the effectiveness of aggregation depends on two conditions: (a) the inability of the predator ...

Behavior pattern of beef heifers supplemented with different energy sources on oat and ryegrass pasture

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of this study was to evaluate behavior patterns of heifers grazing on black oat (Avena strigosa Schreb.) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.), fed supplementation with brown rice meal and/or protected fat.

Dual stable isotope abundances unravel trophic position of estuarine nematodes [PDF]

, 2005
The role and quantitative importance of free-living nematodes in marine and estuarine soft sediments remain enigmatic for lack of empirical evidence on the feeding habits and trophic position of most nematode species.

Species visitation at free‐choice quail feeders in west texas

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Providing supplemental feed is a common practice for the management of northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) and scaled quail (Callipepla squamata). The ecological efficacy and economic efficiency of a feeding program for quail can be evaluated using ...

Taste agents as modulators of the feeding behaviour of grazing yaks in alpine meadows

Animal, 2023
Feeding behaviour plays a significant role in promoting good animal health and welfare. It is also reflective of the quality and quantity of available feed.
