The study of diet is pivotal in understanding a species, particularly for quantifying a
predatory raptors' economic niche and potential for human-wildlife conflict. The crowned …

Increased tourism pressure modifies animal behavior, including alterations in anti-predator
responses and foraging activity. In areas with high tourist presence, animals may become …

There are not “universal methods” to determine diet composition of predators. Most
traditional methods are biased because of their reliance on differential digestibility and the …

Both observational and indirect evidence are widely used to determine the diets of wild
animals. Direct observations are often assumed to provide the most comprehensive …

Diet studies present numerous methodological challenges. We evaluated the usefulness of
commercially available trail-cameras for analyzing the diet of Northern Goshawks (Accipiter …

Ecologically-similar species were found to develop specific strategies to partition their
resources, leading to niche differentiation and divergence, in order to avoid interspecific …

Diet analyses are central to the study of avian trophic ecology, and stable isotope analyses
have made an increasing contribution in the last two decades. Few isotopic studies have …

Understanding raptor diet is important when managing raptors of conservation concern,
especially those experiencing population declines across parts of their range. Most …

For most of the 20th century the total number of regularly breeding land bird species on
Cyprus remained apparently constant, as predicted by the theory of island biogeography …

Interspecific competition occurs when two sympatric species utilize the same limited supply
of a basic resource, such as food; the degree of diet overlap is an essential metric for …
