Feeding Practices and Welfare of Zoo‐Housed Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) on a Global Scale

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We collected feeding and stereotypy information on 702 giraffes from 146 zoos from all over the world. Less appropriate diets were linked to more oral stereotypies. ABSTRACT Since giraffe feeding practices have only been reported for European and US facilities, this study aimed to achieve a comprehensive overview of the current giraffe feeding ...

Modelling Heterogeneous Dependence in a Copula‐Linked By‐Production Frontier: Evidence From French Dairy Farms

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In agriculture, production technologies are often characterised by non‐linearities and stochastic dependence between outputs, particularly between desirable and undesirable outputs. This paper combines the copula‐based semi‐parametric framework for modelling heterogeneous dependence with the by‐production stochastic frontier approach and ...

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Beyond the Individual: Multisite Population‐Level Consequences of Road Mortality on a Declining Mammal

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used a comparative study design to quantify population densities, structure, survival, cause‐specific mortality and female productivity in four West‐European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) populations, and to forecast the impact of road mortality on population viability.

Population dynamics and reproductive success of Short‐eared Owls in relation to widely fluctuating food abundance and farmland habitat degradation

Ibis, EarlyView.
Populations of the Short‐eared Owl Asio flammeus have declined across Europe and North America, probably in response to habitat degradation driven by agricultural intensification. However, long‐term evidence linking farmland habitat change to variation in breeding density and reproductive success remains limited.

Local habitat, not landscape diversity, drives richness and reproduction of cavity‐nesting bees and wasps in agricultural landscapes

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Local habitat type and hedgerow cover strongly shape bee and wasp richness, but only weakly their reproductive output, outweighing the landscape diversity effects at the 1‐km2 scale. Forests host more wasp but fewer bee species, whereas orchards support high richness of both; bee reproduction patterns are driven by one dominant species, while wasp ...

Effect of lactic acid bacterial additive on silage quality

We studied the effect of a lactic acid bacterial additive on the quality of silage made of grass-legume mixtures in the forest steppe zone of Mongolia. A high quality silage can be obtained applying a fermented liquid additive prepared on the basis of ...

Safety and efficacy of Lactobacillus plantarum DSM 29025 as a silage additive for all animal species

EFSA Journal, 2016
Lactobacillus plantarum is a technological additive intended to improve the ensiling process at a minimum proposed dose of 5.0 × 107 colony‐forming units (CFU)/kg fresh material. The bacterial species L. plantarum is considered by EFSA to be suitable for
