Nutritional physiology and ecology of wildlife in a changing world
WEBMay 22, 2017 — Though we find that the changes in the nutritional ecology and physiology of wildlife due to human alterations are typically negative and largely involve impacts on foraging behaviour and food availability, the extent to which these will affect the fitness of organisms and result in evolutionary changes is not clearly understood, and requires fu...
Macronutrient signature of dietary generalism in an ecologically ...
WEBApr 30, 2018 — We discuss the implications of our results for wild primate studies and for diet breadth theory, and consider their relevance for understanding diet and macronutrient regulation by the most generalist primate of all, humans.
Plant-animal subsistence ratios and macronutrient energy …
WEBThe projected macronutrient estimations are based on analytic values for carbohydrate, fat, and protein contained in wild foods consumed by hunter-gatherers and by analytically determined macronutrient relations in wild animals based on …
Functional macronutritional generalism in a large omnivore, the …
WEBJan 29, 2018 — Using the brown bear (Ursus arctos) as a model species, we collected and analyzed data from the literature to estimate the proportions of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and lipid) in the diets of bear populations.
WEBNow writing in Nature Food, Zavaleta Cheek and colleagues4 find that consumption of plant species collected in the landscape mosaics of Jharkhand and West Bengal in Eastern India, composed of...

WEBJun 10, 2022 — Here, we investigate the influence of group size on activity budget and diet of two groups of wild western gorillas, in terms of their response to seasonal variation in fruit availability.
Wild Chimpanzee Welfare: A Focus on Nutrition, Foraging and …
WEBNov 30, 2022 — Here, we (1) highlight findings from the scientific literature on macro and micro nutritional content of foods consumed by wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and (2) discuss aspects of their diet, foraging activity, and health pertaining to what chimpanzees need.
What does it mean to be a macronutritional generalist? A five-year …
WEBNov 11, 2022 — As a primate that is geographically widespread and important in biomedical research, rhesus macaques have been the subject of more research than any other primate, including research examining the relationships between food selection and macronutrition in the wild.
Frontiers | Does diet or macronutrients intake drive the structure …
WEBFeb 12, 2023 — Our findings suggest that the key factor that shapes the composition and function of wild golden snub-nosed monkeys’ gut microbiota is macronutrient intakes rather than food types. This differs from the view that diverse gut microbiotas in wild mammals are the result of the seasonal changes in dietary habits or food types in the previous studies.
