IN VITRO AND OMICS METHODOLOGIES APPLIED TO ANIMAL NUTRITION TO ADDRESS FEED-FOOD COMPETITION AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
… growth and the growing demand for animal-source food are two challenges for global food security and sustainability of agriculture and livestock production. Meanwhile, the use of food-competing feedstuffs and the greenhouse gas emissions from livestock are two major issues that challenge the …

Causes and consequences of sexual habitat segregation in grizzly bears
… of sexual habitat segregation (no avoidance, food competition, and sex competition) and 3competing hypotheses on the effects of adult male mortality on female reproduction (additive, compensatory, depensatory). Twenty bears were radio-monitored from 1980 to 1984 in Kananaskis, Alberta and 28 …

The Effect of Area on Resource Competition among Migrant Birds at a Stopover Site
… exacerbate the costs of migration by reducing food availability and/or increasing competition at crowded stopover sites. I predicted that smaller forest fragments would have higher densities of birds, and that birds would compete for food more intensely in smaller fragments. I examined seven …

MODERN ANIMAL NUTRITION IN THE ERA OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
… resources, as well as the reduction of feed/food competition. In this scenario, animal husbandry offers the environment ecosystem services, and the supply of protein and essential micronutrients for populations, especially in developing countries. The sector of feed production and livestock …

NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF SWINE FARMING
… emissions, its high consume of feedstuffs in competition with human consumption, such as cereals, and its high reliance on soybean products, an ingredient characterized, especially in Europe because of the high amount imported, by a high carbon footprint, and the use of antibiotics that poses …

Interactions between Walleye Sander vitreus and Smallmouth Bass Micropterus dolomieu in Missouri River reservoirs
… prompting concerns regarding potential competition and predation. Yet, little research has assessed interactions between Smallmouth Bass and Walleye. My study helped to increase the understanding of these interactions by 1) assessing adult Smallmouth Bass and Walleye predation on stocked …

Restoration of threatened species populations: tuatara rehabilitations and re-introductions
… by determining the existence and degree of food competition before and after an eradication program for kiore on offshore islands. Kiore successfully out-competed tuatara for favoured food items, but the degree of competition differed between forest types. Competition for food was greater in …

Living apart together
… information on sleeping site use, measures on food abundance in each territory, morphological measurements, and DNA-microsatellite data for seven newly discovered polymorphic loci. Across eight social units and three breeding seasons, pairs were the prevailing grouping pattern (18 of 21 family …
