DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2017.0094
Abstract: Migratory animals undergo seasonal and often spectacular movements and perform crucial ecosystem services. In response to anthropogenic changes, including food subsidies, some migratory animals are now migrating shorter distances or halting migration altogether and forming… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2022.995437
Abstract: Wildlife species are host to a variety of gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs). Artificially concentrating animals may increase the risk of disease spread due to increased GIP load and associated environmental load. Supplemental feeding of deer is… read more here.

DOI: 10.52707/1081-1710-47.1.29
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Prior research on baiting and feeding of wildlife found changes in habitat and the concentration of wildlife on a local scale (e.g., hundreds of meters). Since changes in habitat and host density affect ticks,… read more here.
