We studied how female northern bats, Eptesicus nilssonii, deal with the energetic demands of raising a pup over the short summer period in southern Norway. Our results display an interesting pattern in which female bats increase their foraging time after parturition in comparison to the gestation period.

Food Subsidy Effects on Host Foraging Behavior Shape Host–Macroparasite Infection Dynamics
Wildlife behavioral responses to different distributions of food subsidies could shape encounter and infection intensity of environmentally transmitted parasites. Using a mathematical model, we show that the way in which food subsidy changes transmission rate and variation in parasite burdens (e.g., through changes in time spent foraging and variation ...

Foxes and food subsidies: anthropogenic food use by red and Arctic foxes, and effects on Arctic fox survival, on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska [PDF]
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013Food subsidies have the potential to impact wildlife on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska. Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes (L., 1758)) expanded their range into Arctic regions during the 20th century, and the ...

We monitored parental food provisioning of Little Owls in four European countries with contrasting farmland structure using nestbox cameras and demonstrated that across all countries, provisioning rate and biomass increased with the area of high‐quality habitats.

The amount of reachable habitat determines population fate
The scientific community remains divided on the most effective way to design landscapes for biodiversity conservation or restoration. Although there is a consensus that habitat loss is the main cause of biodiversity decline worldwide, the extent to which fragmentation (i.e.

The Visual Umwelt of primates and Hippocampal Representations of Space
ABSTRACT Evolution sculpts the brain's sensory adaptations. Because these adaptations differ markedly across species, it is challenging for humans to fully comprehend how other animals perceive the world. For a nocturnal mouse, the subjective sensory world—its Umwelt—is dominated by odors, sounds, and textures, with visual input playing a secondary ...

ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

Do eagle owls select larger water voles?
Optimal foraging theory predicts that a hunter should hunt the energetically most profitable prey, often the larger size classes. The eagle owl is a formidable hunter of water voles.
