Large mammals are darted with dart guns to inject drugs or to collect biopsy tissue for capture, research, or veterinary purposes, especially for procedures involving wild and zoo animals. Darting is invasive and associated with risks of trauma, and severe and fatal dart injuries have been reported.

Cicada as a food for mammals: a global review and implications for mammal behaviour and populations
Cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) are among the most important insect prey for many vertebrate predators, including birds and mammals, owing to their large size and high nutritional value. Although the ecological roles of cicadas as prey for birds have been well documented, the interactions between mammals and cicadas are relatively unknown.

Refuges alter elk distribution: a case study of public and private land management strategies
Wildlife managers have traditionally relied on hunting to manage elk Cervus canadensis population abundance; however, problems with elk over‐abundance and/or distributions have arisen across the western US as private landowners restrict public hunting and refuges are created.

Introduced wild pigs affect the foraging ecology of a native predator as both prey and scavenger
Introduced species can disrupt trophic interactions by acting as novel predators, prey, or scavengers. Predicting the impacts of these disruptions can be integral to the conservation of native species and the maintenance of ecological function, but is challenging, especially for species involved in multiple trophic interactions.

Landscape policy and management should mitigate habitat loss in anthropogenically disturbed landscapes but also consider resulting configurations from development. Complex ecological impacts are not well represented in the simple quantitative measures of disturbance currently employed: managing both composition and configuration is necessary to ...
