Research on the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in wildlife has made remarkable progress recently. Few studies to date have experimentally evaluated effect UAS animals and usually focused primarily aquatic fauna. In terrestrial open arid ecosystems, with relatively good visibility detect but little environmental noise, there should be a trade-off between flying at high height above ground level (AGL) limit disturbance low enough maintain count precision. addition, body size or social...
Monitoring species abundance and distribution is a prerequisite when assessing status population viability, difficult task to achieve for large herbivores at ecologically meaningful scales. Co-occurrence patterns can be used infer mechanisms of community organization (such as biotic interactions), although it has been traditionally applied binary presence/absence data. Here, we combine density surface null models data novel approach analyze the spatial seasonal dynamics guanacos (Lama...
Dietary fiber may contribute to satiety. This study examined the effect of two dietary characteristics, small intestinal contents viscosity and large fermentability, on satiety-and adiposity-related hormones in rats. Diets contained sources that were non-viscous, somewhat viscous, or highly either fermentable non-fermentable, a 2 × 3 factorial design. In fed state (2 h postprandial), rats non-fermentable fibers had significantly greater plasma GLP-1 concentration than fibers. fasted state,...
Context The use of wild guanacos (Lama guanicoe) through live capture and shearing may contribute to their conservation by providing an economic alternative rural inhabitants. However, none the biological impacts this activity, including physiological ones, have been addressed. Aims aim work was characterise acute response stress after in terms serum cortisol levels, heart rate, body temperature. Methods study performed during 2006 2007 La Payunia Reserve western Argentina. In order...
Abstract In a recently published paper, Oliva et al. concluded that domestic grazing pressure across Patagonian rangelands approached carrying capacity due to decades of stock adjustment, but guanaco overpopulation may have altered balance. The authors argued unless numbers are controlled, they will reduce forage available for and negatively affect rangelands. We consider the herbivore‐stock analysis presented is inaccurate deserves revision, stated conclusions lack empirical support. When...
Objective . A pediatric office-based intervention was implemented following a randomized, controlled design, aimed at improving child feeding practices and growth patterns ultimately reducing risk for overweight obesity later in life. Methods Four clinics (232 infants) were randomized to control or (I), the latter delivered by health care provider each of 7–9 well-baby visits over 2 years, using previously developed program (Growing Leaps Bounds) that included verbal, visual, text advice...
Abstract Species occurrence depends on both environmental and biotic factors (species interactions). Consideration of species interactions when estimating functions population distribution is unusual, may be crucial to understand predict how use space resources. In this study, we combine resource selection probability ( RSPFs ) with a model approach based information theory evaluate (interspecific interactions) abiotic (environmental) affect guanacos L ama guanicoe livestock (goats, sheep,...
Abstract Drones are being increasingly used in research and recreation but without an adequate assessment of their potential impacts on wildlife. Particularly, the effect sociability behavioural responses to drone-associated disturbance remains largely unknown. Using ungulate with complex social behaviour, we (1) assessed how aggregation offspring presence, along flight plan characteristics, influence probability reaction distance wild guanacos ( Lama guanicoe ) drone's approach, (2)...
Abstract Live-shearing of wild guanacos Lama guanicoe may affect their reproductive success and population resilience, therefore it is important to assess the biological sustainability obtaining wool. We evaluated effects capture shearing on survival reproduction, parameters, daily movements, ranging behaviour spatial distribution in sedentary migratory populations. assessed variables by radio-telemetry line-transect surveys before after capture. estimated high post-shearing rates both...
Abstract Context Along with forage availability, rangeland’s carrying capacity (CC) is determined by other landscape features limiting the spatial distribution of animals, such as water sources or topography. However, livestock management often based on stock adjustment to an estimated CC, assuming that animals use entire paddocks and wild herbivores are absent. Objectives Our objectives were address how CC estimation deviates from classic outcome when effective space considered, consumption...
