Feeding Habits of Leopards and Leopard Cats in the Fragmented Forests Surrounding the Kathmandu Valley

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
Large‐scale urbanization and the rural‐to‐urban influx in Nepal have increased human–wildlife conflicts, particularly in the Kathmandu Valley. Using DNA metabarcoding and geospatial analysis, we studied the feeding ecology of leopards and leopard cats, finding that leopards rely heavily on domestic animals in human‐dominated areas, whereas leopard cats

Diet of Black Rhinoceros (Diceros Bicornis Minor) as Determined by Faecal Microhistological Analysis at the Mokopane Biodiversity Conservation Centre, Limpopo Province - a Preliminary Investigation

South African Journal of Wildlife Research, 2012
The diet of black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis minor) has been the subject of a number of studies in various regions but information for the central bushveld region is sparse. This communication shows a number of woody species utilized by black rhino in this region and identified by means of microhistological faecal analysis. A total of 18 species were

A taste of space: Remote animal observations and discrete‐choice models provide new insights into foraging and density dynamics for a large subarctic herbivore

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 7, Page 891-905, July 2024.
We used an animal observation and modelling framework to test fine‐scale density‐dependent foraging in subarctic caribou.Caribou were more likely to eat shrubs as shrub cover and space use intensity of caribou increased in summer, but less likely to eat lichen. Insects reduced the overall probability of eating.

Habitat parameters influencing the distribution of a geographically isolated flying squirrel

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2024.
The southern extent of Humboldt's Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys oregonensis) exists in the San Bernardino and San Jacinto mountains of southern California, USA. These two populations are isolated from the continuous northern range by 245 kilometers of Mojave Desert.

The Seasonal Diet Selection and Nutritional Niche of Mule Deer in a Chihuahuan Semi-Desert

Wild
Ruminant herbivores interact dynamically with their food resources, especially in deserts, where plant availability fluctuates sharply across seasons. We evaluated how seasonal food availability and the nutritional traits of preferred plants shape the ...

Resource partitioning in a novel herbivore assemblage in South America

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 5, Page 606-618, May 2024.
DNA metabarcoding was used to reveal differences in herbivory strategy among large herbivores at an Argentinian rewilding site. Based on diet composition, we find little evidence for resource competition between species. Instead, recently reintroduced native species and historically introduced non‐natives are likely expanding the range of herbivory ...

Dining in the wild: Unraveling wild Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) feeding behaviour and dietary dynamics in Jaldapara National Park, West Bengal, India

Acta Biologica Sibirica
Megaherbivores like the Wild Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) are keystone species, playing a pivotal role in ecosystem dynamics. However, their survival is increasingly threatened by habitat loss and resource constraints due to their extensive spatial ...

Factors Affecting White-Tailed Deer-Browsing Rates on Early Growth Stages of Soybean Crops

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginanus) damage to soybean crops is a concern for soybean producers. Although researchers have documented decreases in the intensity of deer-browse on soybean plants as the growing season progresses, an understanding of ...
