Carrion in Bomas: Multiple Observations of Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) Scavenging Events and Potential Causes in Managed Populations by Elizabeth Kennedy Overton, Robert S. Davis, Franck Prugnolle, Virginie Rougeron, Terry‐Lee Honiball, Olivia Sievert, Jan A. Venter

“…The observed scavenging events could also have been influenced by the easy access to food in a situation where food acquisition was potentially difficult (i.e. old age, loss of hunting partner, mother with cubs). We hypothesise that these contributing factors, combined with the prior exposure of the adult individuals to eating carrion, could be a potential explanation for our observations of cheetahs scavenging. …”

Sexual dimorphism and ancestral variation in the pectoral and pelvic girdles of modern humans by Daphne R. Hudson, John H. Langdon

“…The wider female pelvis is commonly attributed to obstetric pressures while the broader male pectoral girdle has been argued to be an adaptation that improves hunting or intrasexual competition. While sexual dimorphism in the pelvic girdle is known to exist after adjusting for body size across human populations, most studies of sexual dimorphism in the pectoral girdle have not adjusted the data to account for sexual size dimorphism or compared different ancestral groups. …”

Sustainability of Paddy Rice Farming in the Conservation of Birds in Uganda Amidst a Growing Expansion of the Rice farming Industry. by Sarah, Nachuha, Twagiramaria, Fortunate

“…Out of the 150 farmers we interacted with, 120 (80%) mentioned that the Grey crowned Crane (Balearica regulorum) numbers had declined, mainly because of conversion of the natural wetland into rice paddies, moreover the birds on the paddies are also threatened by extensive use of pesticides and herbicides, including hunting by the local community members. There is need to introduce alternative income-generating activities and continuous sensitization of stakeholders on wise use of rice farms.…”

Archaeozoological material from the Late Antique fortified settlement near the modern-day town of Dimovo, northwestern Bulgaria by Zlatozar Boev, Alexander Manev, Alexander Harizanov, Ivaylo Dedov

“…Along with animal husbandry, hunting still had a significant place. Some wild mammals (such as wild boar, Еuropean hare, red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, aurochs, and European bison) were hunted for food, while others (such as red fox, wild cat, grey wolf, brown bear, and beaver) were hunted for their fur. …”

Metabarcoding the night sky: Monitoring landscape-scale insect diversity through bat diet by Cynthia Tobisch, Svenja Dege, Bernd Panassiti, Julian Treffler, Christoph Moning

“…Insectivorous bats provide a feasible means to tackle this challenge, as they feed opportunistically on a wide variety of insects and other arthropods, while foraging in various habitats and thereby covering large distances between their roosts and hunting places. In this study, we analyzed the diet of a common European bat species (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) to investigate patterns in insect richness and composition at the landscape scale. …”

Genetic markers on the distribution of ancient marine hunters in Priokhotye by B. A. Malyarchuk

“…It is known that the “Arctic” variant of the CPT1A gene is widely distributed in modern populations of the Eskimos, Chukchis, Koryaks, and other peoples of the Okhotsk Sea region, whose economic structure is associated with marine hunting. According to paleogenomic data, the earliest cases of the “Arctic” variant of the CPT1A gene were found in the Greenland and Canadian Paleoeskimos (4 thousand years ago), among representatives of the Tokarev culture of the Northern Priokhotye (3 thousand years ago), and among the bearers of the culture of the late Jomon of Hokkaido (3.5–3.8 thousand years ago). …”

Habitat Distributions and Abundance of Four Wild Herbivores on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau: A Review by Tian Qiao, Chiwei Xiao, Zhiming Feng, Junzhi Ye

“…The results show that since the 1990s, the distributions and abundance of WHs have exhibited a trend of initial decline followed by recovery, largely attributed to global climate warming and a decrease in illegal hunting. However, in recent years, the primary challenge has shifted from wildlife protection to balancing the human and wildlife interests within the constraints of limited resources. …”
