High-Altitude Drives the Convergent Evolution of Alpha Diversity and Indicator Microbiota in the Gut Microbiomes of Ungulates

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Convergent evolution is an important sector of evolutionary biology. High-altitude environments are one of the extreme environments for animals, especially in the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, driving the inquiry of whether, under broader phylogeny, high ...

Expanding or shrinking? range shifts in wild ungulates under climate change in Pamir-Karakoram mountains, Pakistan

PLoS ONE, 2021
Climate change is expected to impact a large number of organisms in many ecosystems, including several threatened mammals. A better understanding of climate impacts on species can make conservation efforts more effective.

Usually hated, sometimes loved: A review of wild ungulates' contributions to people.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Nature's contributions to people (NCP) may be both beneficial and detrimental to humans' quality of life. Since our origins, humans have been closely related to wild ungulates, which have traditionally played an outstanding role as a source of food or ...

Metabarcoding of fecal DNA shows dietary diversification in wolves substitutes for ungulates in an island archipelago

Ecosphere, 2021
. Although ungulates are the main prey of wolves ( Canis lupus ) throughout their range, substantial dietary diversity may allow wolves to persist even when ungulates are declining or rare.

Drivers of site fidelity in ungulates.

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2021
While the tendency to return to previously visited locations - termed 'site fidelity' - is common in animals, the cause of this behaviour is not well understood. One hypothesis is that site fidelity is shaped by an animal's environment, such that animals

Playbacks of Predator Vocalizations Reduce Crop Damage by Ungulates

Social Science Research Network, 2021
Wild ungulates are a major consumer of agricultural crops in human dominated landscapes. Across Europe, ungulate populations are leading to intensified human-wildlife conflicts.

Social organization in ungulates: Revisiting Jarman’s hypotheses

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2021
Ungulates (antelopes, deer and relatives) have some of the most diverse social systems among mammals. To understand the evolution of ungulate social organization, Jarman (1974) proposed an ecological scenario of how distribution of resources, habitat and
