Abstract Context Habitat connectivity is essential for the long-term persistence of species, but commonly disregarded in climate change impact studies. The Tibetan Plateau contains a biome rich endemic ungulates, which are highly sensitive to climatic variations and deserve particular attention conservation planning against change. Objectives We evaluated response vulnerability habitat four ung...

The Mongolian oak Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb. along with the Korean pine, Pinus koraiensis Siebold et Zuss form ecosystem integrity basis at Bastak Reserve. study of these species productivity is important and relevant. Currently, a number articles have been published on pine nut in protected area. However, information concerning yield available only Annals Nature. This paper presents as...

Wildlife mortality involving bongos, Tragelaphus eurycerus, and other ungulates was investigated in the north of the Congo Republic in 1997. Four bongos, one forest buffalo, Syncerus caffer nanus, and one domestic sheep were examined and sampled. Although an outbreak of rinderpest had been suspected, it was found that the animals, which had been weakened by an Elaeophora sagitta infection and p...

Animal learning has been shown to play a major role in the development of diet selection by domestic ungulates. Dr. Frederick Provenza and his associates at Utah State University have conducted a series of experiments over the past 15 years to learn how physiological and behavioral mechanisms govern diet selection. In this paper, we synthesize several key diet selection concepts presented in 4 ...
