Drivers of Hirola Antelope Diet Selection in Natural and Managed Habitat in Eastern Kenya. [PDF]
Hirola (Beatragus hunteri) populations in eastern Kenya consumed 17 forage species, favoring the grass Chloris virgata and the forbs Commelina benghalensis and C. diffusa. Nutrient analyses showed that natural habitats offered higher phosphorus, magnesium, and digestibility, whereas managed sites provided more sodium, potassium, and crude protein, with

Dietary Response of Black-Backed Jackals (<i>Lupulella mesomelas</i>) to Contrasted Land Use. [PDF]
This study examines dietary shifts in black‐backed jackals across different land‐use types using DNA metabarcoding. Results reveal that jackal diets vary significantly by landscape and season, with a strong reliance on sheep in livestock areas, selective feeding on greater kudu on game farms, and a broader, more even prey profile in nature reserves ...
