Evaluating Diet Composition Of Pronghorn In Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, Christopher N. Jacques, Jaret D. Sievers, Jonathan A. Jenks, Chad L. Sexton, Daniel E. Roddy

The Prairie Naturalist

The pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) was reintroduced into Wind Cave National Park (WCNP), South Dakota, in 1914, and thus, has inhabited the Park for nearly a century. During the 1990's, a decline in the population raised concern for the continued existence of pronghorn inside WCNP; an investigation into the observed decline was initiated. Primary objectives of our study were to evaluate diet composition and forage selection by pronghorn in WCNP. Microhistological analysis was conducted on 58 fecal samples collected opportunistically from pronghorn during 2002. Blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis), common juniper (Juniperus communis), and northern bedstraw …

Changing Maine, 1960-2010: Teaching Guide, Richard Barringer, New England Environmental Finance Center

Maine History & Policy Development

Unlike forty years ago, none of us is now certain what the future holds for Maine – except that it will be different. Maine has been transformed by the events of the recent decades. We have come into a new world, a new time – a new historical era, if you will. This new era, like previous eras in Maine history, will require of us new ways of thinking, new ways of understanding, new ways of organizing ourselves as a community of people, if the values and culture we share and cherish are to endure and flourish.

Evaluación Nutricional, Análisis De Protocolos De Absorción, Patrones De Consumo Y Pasaje De Los Ingredientes Que Componen La Dieta De Un Grupo De Monos Araña Ateles Geoffroyi Rufiventris En La Fundación Zoológico Santacruz, Sandra Marcela Gómez Castellanos

Zootecnia

Los miembros del género Ateles son primates neotropicales de miembros delgados y colas prensiles viven en grupos sociales de 15 a 30 individuos (Klein y Klein, 1976). Son de hábitos arbóreos y en muy pocas ocasiones se desplazan al suelo. Su dieta en vida silvestre se basa principalmente de frutas, lo que permite que puedan aparecer como importantes dispersadotes de semillas de una gran variedad de plantas, e incluso localmente podrían llegar a ser los únicos dispersadotes de plantas que otros frugívoros especializados no consumen (Van Roosmalen, 1988). El estudio fue realizado en la Fundación Zoológico Santacruz en San Antonio …

Establecimiento Y Evaluación De Una Dieta Para Monos Tití Gris (Saguinus Leucopus) Y Estudio Del Comportamiento Alimenticio En Cautiverio En La Fundación Zoológico Santacruz, Andrés Felipe Arias Cortes, Andrés Felipe Jaramillo Díaz

Zootecnia

Colombia es un país privilegiado por su ubicación geográfica y variedad de climas lo que lo convierte en uno de los países más ricos del mundo en diversidad de flora y fauna, dentro de la cual se encuentran especies únicas o endémicas como el titi gris (Saguinus leucopus). Esta especie se encuentra seriamente amenazada por la destrucción de su hábitat y la extracción permanente de individuos para el comercio ilegal. Los animales decomisados por las autoridades son enviados a centros de rescate y varios zoológicos del país donde el conocimiento científico sobre su biología, etología y necesidades nutricionales, debe ser …

Proceedings Of The Western Australian Dhufish Workshop 2004, Mark Pagano, Terry Fuller

Fisheries occasional publications

The Western Australian Dhufish Workshop 2004 was a joint project between Recfishwest and the Western Australian Department of Fisheries.

The workshop incorporated presentations from the Department of Fisheries, Recfishwest, the Western Australian Fishing Industry Council, Murdoch University and Challenger TAFE to showcase current knowledge relating to the iconic dhufish in Western Australia. The perspectives of a recreational fisher, a commercial wetline operator and a metropolitan charter boat operator were also presented.

Through information sharing and discussion the workshop provided a platform to better understand the fundamental issues that underpin current and future management arrangements for this valuable resource. Both commercial …
