Seasonal changes of stable isotope signals in the primary feathers of plains sharp‐tailed grouse

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 47, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023
Stable isotopes from feathers were used to estimate diet in plains sharp‐tailed grouse during the summer. Grasshoppers (Acrididae) are likely the main contributors of proteinaceous nutrients used for feather synthesis in this species. Abstract Stable isotopes of a consumer organism can be used to estimate the proportional utilization of food items that

Contrasting seasonal patterns in diet and dung‐associated invertebrates of feral cattle and horses in a rewilding area

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 2071-2091, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Trophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self‐regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. However, empirical evidence for the effects of megafauna introductions on the abundance and richness of other organisms such as ...
