Feeding Management of African Rhinos (Ceratotherium simum, Diceros bicornis) in European Zoos
Zoo Biology, EarlyView.The average estimated diets (in % dry matter) of white rhinos (C. simum) and black rhinos (D. bicornis) in European zoos differ in the proportion of (pelleted) compound feed and other non‐forage items. The reason for this difference is elusive but possibly related to creating more complicated diets for browsers. ABSTRACT White rhinos (WR, Ceratotherium

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Female white rhinos in zoos systematically exceed the body mass range for free‐ranging specimens; this is not the case in black rhinos. ABSTRACT The body mass of zoo animals may differ from those in wild populations due to the different environmental and dietary conditions being offered under human‐managed care.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We tested a suite of ecological hypotheses to explain variation in seasonal body mass dynamics of a fat‐storing mammalian hibernator. We further demonstrated that pre‐hibernation mass gain in ground squirrels mediates an annual allocation trade‐off between current and future reproduction as the squirrels forage and rear young under predation risk ...
