The dietary patterns of water deer recently rediscovered in Northeast China exhibit remarkable similarities to those observed in other regions. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Climate change, human activities, and habitat fragmentation—or even loss—pose ongoing threats to the survival of wildlife. Understanding the dietary habits of endangered species is a critical component of their conservation.

Critical summer foraging tradeoffs in a subarctic ungulate. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
Summer diets are crucial for large herbivores in the subarctic and are affected by weather, harassment from insects and a variety of environmental changes linked to climate. Yet, understanding foraging behavior and diet of large herbivores is challenging

Análise micro-histológica da composição botânica de misturas preestabelecidas, submetidas ao processo de digestão in vitro Microhistological analysis of the botanical composition of pre-established mixtures, submitted to the in vitro digestion process

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2005
A composição botânica de misturas preestabelecidas de seis espécies forrageiras foi estimada após diferentes tempos de digestão in vitro e comparadas com a composição real. Três misturas de seis espécies, com participações conhecidas, foram constituídas nos períodos chuvoso e seco e examinadas pela técnica micro-histológica.

Elucidating the diet of the island flying fox (Pteropus hypomelanus) in Peninsular Malaysia through Illumina Next-Generation Sequencing [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
There is an urgent need to identify and understand the ecosystem services of pollination and seed dispersal provided by threatened mammals such as flying foxes. The first step towards this is to obtain comprehensive data on their diet.

Evaluation of Microhistological Analysis for Determining Ruminant Diet Botanical Composition [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1992
The accuracy of microhistological techniques for analysis of herbivore diets was evaluated with cattle, sheep, and Angora goats fed grass, forb, and shrub mixtures of known botanical compositions. Two observers performed microhistological analyses on undigested diets as offered and on feces collected.

Diet Selection by the Italian Hare (Lepus corsicanus de Winton, 1898) in Two Protected Coastal Areas of Latium

Animals, 2022
This study was focused on the diet and feeding behaviour of Lepus corsicanus in two protected coastal areas of Latium, Castelporziano Presidential Estate (CPE) and Circeo National Park (CNP). Plant frequency was assessed by the quadrat method, while diet
