Abstract:

Scavenging guilds often have several trophic levels with varying dominance and intra-guild predation, competition, and interaction. Apex predators can control subordinate predators by limiting their numbers and affecting behaviour but also supply a continuous food source by abandoning carcasses. Camera traps monitored the scavenger guild in Alpe di Catenaia, Tuscan Apennine, for three years to determine intraguild interactions and the behaviour response. Wild boar visited most feeding sites but only scavenged in 1.4% of their visits. Red fox was the most frequent scavenger, traded vigilance an

Abstract:

La aparición de pueblos y ciudades ha creado un nicho carroñero potencial para oportunistas al que una serie de especies de aves, interesadas en la explotación de esta fuente de alimento, se han adaptado. La información obtenida en Europa noroccidental evidencia el éxito de un pequeño grupo de carroñeros urbanos, especialmente depredadores y necrófagos, donde se incluyen especies cuyas áreas de distribución se han visto marcadamente reducidas durante los últimos siglos.

Abstract:

Cadaver decomposition islands around animal carcasses can facilitate establishment of various plant life. Facultative scavengers have great potential for endozoochory, and often aggregate around carcasses. Hence, they may disperse plant seeds that they ingest across the landscape towards cadaver decomposition islands. Here, we demonstrate this novel mechanism along a gradient of wild tundra reindeer carcasses. First, we show that the spatial distribution of scavenger faeces (birds and foxes) was concentrated around carcasses. Second, faeces of the predominant scavengers (corvids) commonly cont

Abstract:

Australia’s Wedge-tailed Eagle belongs to the family of eagles, which together span the world. Eagles are powerful predators, with exceptional powers of flight and sight. They may kill to survive, but they also sleep, play, enjoy a bath, make tender parents, and form lasting relationships. This book gives a comprehensive overview of Australia’s largest true eagle and one of the country’s few large predators and scavengers. First appearing in Aboriginal rock-paintings more than 5000 years ago, the Wedge-tailed Eagle was little more than a curiosity to the early European settlers. The book

Abstract:

Silymarin, a polyphenolic flavonoid complex extracted from milk thistle seeds (Silybum marianum), has a wide range of therapeutic properties, including antiinflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant effects. This review explores the applications of milk thistle and silymarin in animal nutrition, focusing on their effects on productive performance, animal health, metabolic profiles, and detoxification processes. Milk thistle seeds contain various nutritional components that have been shown to improve nutrient utilization, stimulate appetite, and enhance the intestinal environment. Studies

Abstract:

Abstract The principal study to date of the responses of raptorial birds to the snowshoe hare cycle was conducted by Lloyd Keith and colleagues in a mixed farmland/ aspen parkland landscape at Rochester, Alberta. They found that great homed owls (Bubo virginianus) showed strong reproductive and numerical responses to hare abundance (Mclnvaille and Keith 1974, Adamcik et al. 1978). In contrast, red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) numbers at Rochester remained stable, even though their reproductive success declined as hares disappeared from the prey base (Adamcik et al. 1979). In Alaska, numbers

Abstract:

Abstract There is surprisingly little quantitative information on the numbers of millipedes that fall victim to predation. Most information derives from anecdotes, or when millipedes turn up in the gut contents of vertebrates. A wide range of invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals will take millipedes in captivity (Baker 1985b; Remy 1950). However, it is by no means clear that the same predators will take them in the wild. The early stadia must be much more vulnerable than the adults, but there is very little information on predation of juveniles. Baker (1974) reported that ea

Abstract:

This chapter addresses the social behavior of vultures. Vultures are considered social species in part because they often roost communally and feed in groups. One of two of the world's most common and widespread obligate avian scavengers, the Turkey Vulture, is relatively non-social, whereas the other, the Black Vulture, is highly social. Several key innovations, including an acute sense of smell and the ability to soar effectively at low altitudes, most likely enable Turkey Vultures to be less social than most other species. The chapter then looks at the function of communal roosts and age-sp

Abstract:

Abstract This plasma a-globulin is in the albumin, a-fetoprotein family and is synthesized predominantly in the liver. It circulates at a 20-fold higher titre than its mot/mot, vitamin D sterol-ligands, thereby providing their conservation, solubility, and transport in the blood. The protein also binds globular actin at high affinity and constitutes, along with gelsolin, a plasma-actin-scavenger system. Cell surface associations and metabolism of the protein suggest its cellular entry into phagolysosomes, although its direct cellular injection causes a reversible disassembly of microfilaments.

Abstract:

This chapter is dedicated to the biology of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). In 1912, AGEs were first identified by French chemist Louis-Camille Maillard. Early investigation revealed AGE generation during food preparation (cooking) at high temperatures, wherein carbohydrates (e.g. glucose/glycan) slowly react with various proteins via concomitant generation of Schiff’s base and Amadori products. This non-enzymatic process of AGE generation is termed glycation. Later, subsequent investigations revealed that AGE is exogenously produced during cooking and other processing of foodsand also

Abstract Humans are now producing animals for us to eat in ever greater numbers, and in ever stranger forms, such as the modern supermarket chicken, bred since the 1950s to be huge and fast-growing, and now by far the most common bird in the world. Clues as to how they will fossilize can be found by exploring how animals are scavenged and decay in the wild, and how their carcasses can sometimes avoid destruction, from forensic science, and among the classic fossil sites for dinosaurs and mammals, such as the Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone in Germany, which yielded the classic Archaeopteryx fossi

Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a highly toxic and corrosive gas commonly found in industrial processes such as natural gas production, geothermal power generation, and oil refining. This work presents the development of a novel non-toxic H2S scavenger, FeQ(Chel(A)), which consists of a metal iron complex with an eco-friendly chelating agent. The PLONOR (Posing Little or No Risk) listed chelant effectively binds the metal complex, which enables rapid reaction with dissolved H2S to form inert sulfur species.
