Winter feeding of elk in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and its effects on disease dynamics
Providing food to wildlife during periods when natural food is limited results in aggregations that may facilitate disease transmission. This is exemplified in western Wyoming where institutional feeding over the past century has aimed to mitigate wildlife-livestock conflict and minimize winter mortality of elk (Cervus canadensis). Here we review research across 23 winter feedgrounds where the ...
متن کاملElk migration patterns and human activity influence wolf habitat use in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
Identifying the ecological dynamics underlying human-wildlife conflicts is important for the management and conservation of wildlife populations. In landscapes still occupied by large carnivores, many ungulate prey species migrate seasonally, yet little empirical research has explored the relationship between carnivore distribution and ungulate migration strategy. In this study, we evaluate the...
متن کاملBrucellosis in Elk in the Greater Yellowstone Area
Brucellosis is a highly contagious bacterial disease of both animals and humans. Infection of the female reproductive tract may result in abortion. The most common route of transmission is thought to be oral as a result of licking or ingestion of infected fetuses, placentas, fetal fluids, or vaginal exudates. Such transmission can be exacerbated under conditions that artificially congregate inf...

15 صفحه اولEcological intensification to mitigate impacts of conventional intensive land use on pollinators and pollination.
Worldwide, human appropriation of ecosystems is disrupting plant-pollinator communities and pollination function through habitat conversion and landscape homogenisation. Conversion to agriculture is destroying and degrading semi-natural ecosystems while conventional land-use intensification (e.g. industrial management of large-scale monocultures with high chemical inputs) homogenises landscape ...
