The Scoop on Honey Badger Poop: Validation of a Non‐Invasive Method for Assessing Physiological Responses in Captivity

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Captive honey badgers (Mellivora capensis) are routinely exposed to environmental and husbandry‐related stressors that differ markedly from their natural conditions; however, physiological welfare assessments in this species remain limited. This study aimed to validate a non‐invasive approach to evaluate stress‐related fecal glucocorticoid ...

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Can Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) Browsing Stimulate the Chemical Defense of Taxus cuspidata—A Case of Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...
