Changes in Herbaceous Species Composition in the Absence of Disturbance in a Cenchrus biflorus Roxb. Invaded Area in Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
A‐nine year study was carried out to investigate changes in herbaceous species composition in an area invaded by Cenchrus biflorus Roxb, an exotic invader grass species. The study ensued termination of livestock and human activities in the area when residents of the area were relocated to another area.

Extensively harvested hay contaminated with common windgrass induced an ulcerative stomatitis–gingivitis outbreak in horses

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page e67-e70, April 2025.
Summary After starting feeding on a new batch of hay, 29 out of 33 horses showed clinical signs of oral ulcerative and bleeding papules and mucous membrane erythema of the gingiva of the mandible within 2–3 days. The results of the complete blood cell count and biochemistry analysis did not yield significant findings in relation to horses affected by ...

PREDATOR COMMUNITY AND RESEARCHER‐INDUCED IMPACTS ON NEST SUCCESS OF RIO GRANDE WILD TURKEYS IN TEXAS

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 2010, Issue S1, Page 235-242, January 2010., 2010
Abstract: Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) populations in Texas appear to be declining, and poor nest success could be contributing to the decline. Techniques to monitor nest success and predator impacts are necessary to make sound conservation decisions.

DNA metabarcoding complements but does not replace direct observations of penguin predation by corvids

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 3, Page 951-970, July 2024.
Establishing methods that allow for more focused management of wildlife under predator pressure may increase the efficiency of managing problematic predators. Non‐invasive dietary analysis and identification of conservation‐sensitive prey in the diet of ‘culprit’ predator individuals could help to facilitate this and is worthy of exploration.
