A Mechanism for Passive Range Exclusion: Evidence from the European Badger (Meles meles)
The Passive Range Exclusion (PRE) Hypothesis provides a mechanism whereby species that rest or breed in communal residences, but forage independently on dispersed food items, may avoid entering the core home ranges of neighbouring groups. A stochastic simulation shows that as the occupants of a communal residence travel outwards to feed, their activities create a gradient in food availability. ...
متن کاملEnvironmental drivers of the distribution and density of the European badger (Meles meles): a review
Knowing the environmental factors affecting species’ distribution is an important basic step in ecological research. Here, we present a literature review on the environmental factors influencing European badger (Meles meles) distribution and density. According to the published literature, the badger is a highly adaptive species, capable of using different environmental services and adapting to ...
متن کاملA spontaneously seasonal hypercholesterolemic animal: plasma lipids and lipoproteins in the European badger (Meles meles L.).
The European badger has previously been shown to exhibit yearly cycles of locomotor activity, endocrine secretions, and body weight, as well as seasonal variations in plasma cholesterol. Over a period of 2 years, we have followed the plasma levels of free and esterified cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids, and of plasma lipoproteins (by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, agar...
متن کاملPopulation Estimation and Trappability of the European Badger (Meles meles): Implications for Tuberculosis Management
Estimates of population size and trappability inform vaccine efficacy modelling and are required for adaptive management during prolonged wildlife vaccination campaigns. We present an analysis of mark-recapture data from a badger vaccine (Bacille Calmette-Guérin) study in Ireland. This study is the largest scale (755 km(2)) mark-recapture study ever undertaken with this species. The study area ...
متن کاملWinter Is Coming: Seasonal Variation in Resting Metabolic Rate of the European Badger (Meles meles)
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is a measure of the minimum energy requirements of an animal at rest, and can give an indication of the costs of somatic maintenance. We measured RMR of free-ranging European badgers (Meles meles) to determine whether differences were related to sex, age and season. Badgers were captured in live-traps and placed individually within a metabolic chamber maintained at ...
