Summary 1 Temporal variability in habitat suitability has important conservation and
ecological implications. In grasslands, changes in resource availability can occur at broad …

By viewing animal movement paths as realizations of a continuous stochastic process, we
introduce a rigorous likelihood method for estimating the statistical parameters of movement …

The Mongolian gazelle (Procapra gutturosa) is often sympatric with livestock. After the
political regime changed in 1990 in Mongolia, the human population and consequent …

Many herbivores exhibit phenotypic variations of their digestive system in response to
changes in quality of food resources. This digestive plasticity is considered an adaptive trait …

While some descriptions of ruminants' dietary adaptations suggest that the length of the
intestinal tract reflects the proportion of grass or browse in the diet, this assumption has been …

The diets of Procapra gutturosa (Mongolian gazelle) and Pantholops hodgsoni (Tibetan
antelope) are investigated through premaxillary shape, mesowear, and microwear analyses …

Digestive plasticity, which refers to changes in digestive features due to changes in both
internal and external environmental conditions, is a crucial factor for understanding the …

Abstract Mongolia's Eastern Steppe is one of the largest remaining temperate grassland
ecosystems and is habitat for Mongolian gazelles (Procapra gutturosa). During four surveys …

The pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus Linnaeus, 1758) was in the recent past one of
the most characteristic species in the Uruguayan grasslands. However, today the species is …

We measured macroscopic anatomical parameters of the digestive tract of 12 female
Himalayan tahrs. According to morphological criteria used sensu Hofmann for the …
