Liliopsida; Magnoliopsida; Moschus; Naemorhedus goral; autumn; biomass; climate change; deer; diet; food quality; forage; forbs; graminoids; income breeding; nitrogen; nitrogen content; phenology; plant growth; research; seasonal variation; spring; sympatry; wildlife; winter; Himalayan region; India
Abstract:
... Drastic seasonal changes in higher latitudes and altitudes impact the phenology of plant growth forms differently and thus diet of ungulates feeding on them. We examined how fecal nitrogen (N), an indicator of diet quality, varied with season against the background variation in forage biomass and N in habitats of two sympatric ungulates in subtropical Himalaya. We conducted this study in Kyongnosl ...

Moschus; Pseudois nayaur; autumn; deer; diet; food choices; forage; graminoids; habitats; research and development; sheep; shrubs; winter; Himalayan region; India
Abstract:
... Understanding the niche usage and dietary habits of wild ungulate populations is crucial to monitoring their response to livestock grazing and changes in habitat quality. Livestock grazing is common throughout the Himalaya and may reduce available forage for wild ungulates, but few studies have assessed the impact of livestock grazing on the diets of wild herbivores in the Greater Himalaya. We ass ...

Abstract:
... Twenty‐five years ago, the snow leopard Uncia uncia, an endangered large cat, was eliminated from what is now Sagarmatha National Park (SNP). Heavy hunting pressure depleted that area of most medium–large mammals, before it became a park. After three decades of protection, the cessation of hunting and the recovery of wild ungulate populations, snow leopards have recently returned (four individuals ...
