Digestibility, nitrogen excretion, and mean retention time by North American porcupines (Erethizon dorsatum) consuming natural forages.
North American porcupines (Erethizon dorsatum) subsist predominantly on low-protein, high-fiber, high-tannin diets. Therefore, we measured the porcupine's ability to digest dry matter, fiber, and protein by conducting digestion trials on eight natural forages and one pelleted ration varying in concentration of fiber, nitrogen, and tannins. On these diets, dry matter intake ranged from 5 to 234 ...
متن کاملEcology of porcupines (Erethizon dorsatum) and Colorado tick fever virus in Rocky Mountain National Park, 1975-1977.
The involvement of porcupines, Erethizon dorsatum (L.), in the ecology of Colorado tick fever (CTF) virus in Rocky Mountain National Park was investigated from 1975 to 1977. Porcupine dens and feeding activity were found mostly on rocky knolls or on south-facing slopes within open stands of the montane coniferous forest, and 20 adult porcupines were trapped or captured by hand at those location...
متن کاملPorcupine Damage and Repellent Research in the Interior Pacific Northwest
Porcupines (Erethizon dorsatum) rely on trees and shrubs for winter food and can cause serious, localized damage to conifers. Twenty-two percent of ponderosa trees (Pinus ponderosa) examined in southeastern Washington were damaged by porcupines. Most damage involved complete girdling of the midto upper boles of the larger trees (12 to 30 cm dbh) in the stand. Preliminary repellent trials with c...
متن کاملThe intrafamilial transmission of rheumatoid arthritis: an unusual study.
THE SET of seven papers which follow constitutes a report which in its design complements the more common type of clinical investigation. The study sets out specifically to examine a pair of hypotheses: that rheumatoid arthritis is in part determined by a genetic mechanism and is in part determined by social effects within the family. The study uses a carefully validated and thrice repeated int...
متن کاملResponse of Erethizon Dorsatum and Lepus americanus to specialized and generalized predators BIOS 35502 Practicum in Field Biology
The way that animals balance foraging needs with predation is a very interesting and widely studied subject in ecology. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum) and snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) have a response to the increased danger that a specialized predator, the fisher (Martes pennanti), poses over a general predator, the coyote (Canis latrans...
