Amid global challenges like climate change, extinctions, and disease epidemics, science society require nuanced, international solutions that are grounded in robust, interdisciplinary perspectives datasets span deep time. Natural history collections, from modern biological specimens to the archaeological fossil records, crucial tools for understanding cultural processes shape our world. At same time, natural collections low middle-income countries at-risk underresourced, imperiling efforts...
Abstract The forage maturation hypothesis (FMH) states that energy intake for ungulates is maximised when biomass at intermediate levels. Nevertheless, metabolic allometry and different digestive systems suggest resource selection should vary across ungulate species. By combining GPS relocations with remotely sensed data on characteristics surface water, we quantified the effect of body size system in determining movements 30 populations hindgut fermenters (equids) ruminants biomes....
ABSTRACT Depredation by wolves ( Canis lupus ) could threaten survival of reintroduced wild Przewalski horses Equus ferus przewalskii in Hustai National Park (HNP), Mongolia. We conducted scat analysis, spatial analyses kills, and interviews to study prey species selection temporal factors that characterize choices wolves. Diet HNP was comprised >50% livestock. composition varied during the year, with more livestock taken winter. Wildlife were selected over species. From available...
Abstract The Mongolian gazelle Procapra gutturosa is a wild ungulate ubiquitous across the largest remaining temperate grasslands of Mongolia, Russia and China. species nomadic ranges over long distances, resulting in widely fluctuating abundance any given location. Therefore, comprehensive range-wide survey required to accurately estimate its global population size, but challenges are posed by expansive geographical distribution political boundaries species’ vast range. To obtain an total...
The breeding distribution of the Upland Buzzard (Buteo hemilasius) is restricted to eastern Palearctic. In comparison other Buteo species, little known about this species' ecology. objectives our study were describe nest sites and reproductive success Buzzards in Mongolia. average clutch size for 304 attempts 2001–07 was 3.49 eggs (±1.09 SD; range 2–8; total 1061 laid). For 215 attempts, brood 1.95 nestlings (±1.53; 0–6). We found that materials varied greatly, probably corresponding...
The objectives of our research on equine piroplasmosis were to clarify the prevalence piroplasms Babesia caballi and Theileria equi among reintroduced Przewalski's horses (takhi, Equus ferus przewalskii) in comparison with (Equus caballus) nomads from around Hustai National Park Mongolia determine mortality takhi during 2012 2015. T. was high 2014 at 80% nomadic 84% takhi. We found no evidence B. infection A homology 18S rRNA base sequence showed same both domestic According national park...
Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis) are a migratory species that face variety of threats across their range, but little is known about breeding ecology. These falcons breed in forest habitats Eastern and Central Asia using nests constructed by corvids, including Eurasian Magpies (Pica pica). We monitored 21 pairs at Hustai National Park central Mongolia 2017. Our objectives were to describe basic nesting ecology, estimate nest survival modeling the daily rate (DSR), examine selection it as...
