implies, and, rather than a curiosity of animal behavior, is a key ecological process that must …

Although it is widely known that most species of snakes readily accept carrion in captivity,
the notion of scavenging by wild snakes historically has been rejected or ignored. Herein …

The art of capturing wild animals for food and clothing is as old as human existence on
earth. However, in today's world, reasons for catching wild species are more diverse …

Les vertébrés charognards font compétition aux décomposeurs pour l'utilisation des
