Roosting Habitat and Poult Survival of Merriam's Turkeys in the Southern Black Hills of South Dakota
… many turkeys in the southern Black Hills rely on supplemental feeding at ranches/farmsteads whereas some turkeys remain in the forest and feed mainly on ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) seed. The main objectives of this project were to evaluate roosting habitat and poult survival of Merriam's …

Ecology of Merriam's Turkeys in the Southern Black Hills, South Dakota
… of female Merriam’s turkeys associated with supplemental food from livestock feeding or farmsteads was not different (P = 0.70) from females that wintered in forest habitats. Turkeys selected for open to mid-canopy (0-70%) mature (>22.9 cm diameter at breast height [DBH]) structural stage …

Rainbow Trout Production and Water Quality in Eastern South Dakota Dugouts
… rate (1977/ha, 1483/ha, 988/ha, and 494/ha) and feeding combination [fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) and supplemental feed, supplmental feed, and trout alone]. Chemical physical properties were also monitored in an old and new unstocked dugouts from July 1980 to July 1981. Growth was …

Competition Between Fox (Sciurus Niger) and Gray (S. Carolinensis) Squirrels (Illinois, Habitat Selection, Behavior)
… and monitoring the response of gray squirrels. Supplemental feeding with native mast was used to determine if food was limiting for squirrel populations in east-central Illinois. Foraging and agonistic behaviors of these two sympatric species were evaluated using captive animals. The presence of …

How does temperature affect Fork-tailed Drongo, Dicrurus adsimilis, foraging effort, nestling provisioning and growth rates?
… Fork-tailed Drongos, Dicrurus adsimilis, when supplemental food is provided. Additionally, I aimed to identify how nestling growth rates change with temperature. The results of two supplemental feeding experiments indicated that as temperatures increased, adults significantly reduced their …

WORK SHIFT FOOD DELIVERY STRATEGIES DURING ARDUOUS WILDFIRE SUPPRESSION
… of this study was to compare two isocaloric feeding strategies for wildland firefighters (WLFF) on total kcal and macronutrient (e.g. carbohydrates, total fat and protein) intake, ratings of satisfaction, and food delivery system feasibility. METHODS: Fifty-two Type I and Type II wildland …

Wildflowers in Working Landscapes: Establishment Methods and Impacts on Pollinators and Cattle
… analyzed together (p=0.211), though in 2024 when supplemental feeding was delayed, cattle in wildflower paddocks gained less weight (p=0.04). The second experiment explored repeated tillage as a chemical-free site preparation method to reduce weed pressure and facilitate native wildflower …

Winter Diet and Nutritional Condition of White-Tailed Deer in the Northern Black Hills, South Dakota
… fecal nitrogen and phosphorus levels indicated supplementally fed deer consumed higher quality diets than non-supplemented animals in 1992 and 1993. Higher quality diets among supplemented animals may be related to higher corn consumption during both years and lower consumption of ponderosa pine …

Effect of Time of Supplementation on Performance and Grazing Behavior of Grazing Steers
… used to minimize the labor associated with hand feeding and allow cattle to eat throughout the day. The objectives of this experiment were to investigate the effect of supplement feeding time on performance and grazing behavior of backgrounded beef steers. Crossbred beef steers (n = 54; 7 ± 1 m …

Energy Reserves in Native Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia:Unionidae) with and without Attached Zebra Mussels: Effects of Food Deprivation
… 1) how zebra mussel infestation affects unionid feeding and body condition, 2) how starvation in quarantine affects body condition of unionids, and 3) what feeding regime maintain unionid condition in quarantine. The effects of zebra mussel infestation on two mussel species were evaluated through …

Effects of food on bald eagle distribution and abundance on the northern Chesapeake Bay: an experimental approach
… on waterfowl as they had done in 1986 and 1987. Supplemental feeding on APG failed to keep eagles from moving to the lower Bay. Although local eagle distribution on the northern Bay in autumn seems to be dependent on food availability, the autumn decline in fish abundance may not be the proximate …
